Imperial Dogs DVD Tops Dave Laing's 2009 List

"If you dig the Stooges, BOC, and Radio Birdman, your life is not complete until you've heard "Midnite Dog," "Just Kids," "Rock 'N' Roll Overdose," and the original and best "This Ain't The Summer Of Love," writes Melbourne, Australia's Dave Laing, who places the Imperial Dogs' Live! In Long Beach (October 30, 1974) DVD firmly atop his Top 10 -- well, Top 24 -- for 2009 here at Craig Barman's incredible I-94 Bar site.

A gentleman of wealth and taste, Laing is perhaps best-known for creating the jaw-dropping Do The Pop! The Australian Garage-Rock Sound 1976-87 compilation for Savage Beat/Shock Records back in 2002 and contributing to the Ugly Things fanzine as well as the I-94 Bar site.

Meanwhile ... the Imperial Dogs DVD review/interview that Laing originally did with Imperial Dogs main mutt Don Waller for the I-94 Bar earlier this year is now available here at the U.K.-based Rock's Back Pages site.
