		<title>Track 35: &#8220;The Queen of Queens&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ More often than not we start with the music, or at least an idea for the music. But this one began with the words, written at an office desk one afternoon when one of us Dolls was supposed to be working. The first verse explains how to get from the northside of Williamsburg to [...]]]></description>

You&#8217;ve been a very, very naughty financial institution.

		<title>Track 33: &#8220;O My Body&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Happy new year. The world is one year older. We are one year older. Body parts, like international economies, are slowly failing. Imperceptibly at first, but ever more perceptibly as our lives move from verse to bridge to chorus to solo (and back). And so we dance. And we call on all lost or absentee [...]]]></description>

		<title>Track 32-1/2: &#8220;December&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A holiday extra. Today&#8217;s entry isn&#8217;t a new song and it isn&#8217;t part of the Difficult Neverending Second Album. &#8220;December&#8221; comes from Sticky, our short simple first album, and we offer it here as a free holiday download. It&#8217;s a hopeful song written on a particularly sad day several years ago. This may seem silly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Track 32: &#8220;You Don&#8217;t Comb Your Hair Anymore&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Sometimes inspiration is hanging on the  wall  right in front of where you&#8217;ve been standing for years. There&#8217;s a   poster in our rehearsal space of a Dennis Hopper photograph of a couple sitting in a booth at a diner.  She&#8217;s got fabulous brunette hair and a cigarette. He&#8217;s tattooed and [...]]]></description>

		<title>30-31. &#8220;Track 30-31: &#8220;Keep It Dark&#8221; / &#8220;All This Madness Could Be Ours&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Two songs this week, both written in the past half year for soundtracks, both received enthusiastically, both unused in the end. But we walked away with two new songs, so all’s good. They’re not quite standard T-Dolls material — we weren’t thinking at all about our album-in-progress when we recorded them — but they’re still [...]]]></description>

		<title>Track 29: &#8220;Masters of Cock&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
 


This one had its genesis in an epithet that someone we don&#8217;t know wrote about someone else we don&#8217;t know in an email to our friend and former bandmate Michael Taylor. The epithet was &#8220;cockmasters.&#8221; Altered to &#8220;masters of cock,&#8221; it became the phrase of the week around Michael&#8217;s house, which we&#8217;ve been using as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Track 28: &#8220;Spider Sabich&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


Spider Sabich was a ski racer in the 1960s and &#8217;70s. He was OK, nothing special, in the Olympics, but made a name for himself slaloming side by side with the likes of Billy Kidd and Jean-Claude Killy on the pro circuit. He was a free spirit and a playboy, and with his good looks [...]]]></description>

		<title>Track 27: &#8220;I Wrote a Song for You&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


We’re back from the short sabbatical we never told you about. Sorry, and hi again. We’re relaunching with a song that’s basically about writing a song. It comes from our sessions with Bart Schoudel and Ron Haney of the Churchills. The arpeggios that serve as the main riff were a happy accident. They were meant [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gig: Sunday 10/2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We&#8217;re going back to our roots for a special show this Sunday, Oct 2, at the Brighton Bar in Long Branch, NJ &#8211; the punk-rock capital of the Jersey shore. Where we got our start. No, we weren&#8217;t ever actually punk-rock, but they kept inviting us back anyway, because that&#8217;s how punk-rock they were.
We&#8217;re opening [...]]]></description>
