The Germs - Live At the Starwood
I've been meaning to mention this for a while now - the folks at Rhino Handmade have issued an interesting item for Germs fans. It's a boxed set (on CD) of the original band's final gig - just days before the death of singer/lyricist Darby Crash - on December 3, 1980, and includes: * The legendary final concert with founding member Darby Crash, presented in its entirety for the first time ever
* Unique packaging in the vein of a punk fanzine, complete with a reproduction of the handwritten set list
* Includes an 8 1/2" x 11" replica of the original poster for the show
* 22 tracks
* Released on 06/14/2010

Does soap beat Germs?
Following up on this post regarding Germs dummer Don Bolles recent run in with cops, the following was posted today over at WFMU's Beware of the Blog:
Everything You Wanted To Know About Drugs N' Soap
If you hadn't heard by now, Germs drummer/sometime WFMU guest-programmer Don Bolles was busted by Orange County police in April for soap possession. After being pulled over for a broken tail light, his van was searched (as any good cop would do to a guy wearing a freaky fur hat) and a bottle of Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap was produced, testing positive for illicit drug GHB according to police. Don spent Easter in the clink until Bronners themselves bailed him out and took on the task of providing legal counsel. While Bronner's products are indeed hemp-based (a controvery within itself these days in California these days) GHB is an odd thing to have been tested positive for inside liquid soap, let alone the concept of utilizing it via that avenue (it's a common drug used for date rape). Lab tests on Don's soap proved the field test faulty, but he still has to go back to court later this month. In the meantime, this video (You Tube) of the whole episode recap as well as some pretty informative stuff on testing soap for drugs, and testing soap for...soap.

Punk Rocker's Soap Tests Positive for GHB
Do you use Dr Bronners soap? Don Bolles of the Germs does.
"NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (April 11) - A soap manufacturer is coming to the defense of a punk rocker who was jailed after his bottle of liquid peppermint cleanser tested positive for gamma-hydroxybutyrate, or GHB, often called the "date-rape drug" because it leaves people groggy and powerless."
