New Danko Album Tracklisting!
By: ChartAttack.com Staff

We've already made several mentions of the upcoming Danko Jones disc, Born A Lion, but now we've got a full track listing for you.
And we know how much you all like full track listings.
The CD, due out in the country of Europe on May 13 under the Bad Taste Records banner, will eventually come out here some time in the early summer, for those of you not savvy enough to figure out a way to shop online. Despite two critically-acclaimed EPs and a collection-package, Born A Lion will mark the first time the band (front man Danko, drummer Damon, bassist JC) has put out a full-length album.
Here's the official track listing, as revealed by the Mocha Moses' publicist:
"Play The Blues" "Lovercall" "Sound Of Love" "Papa" "Soul On Ice" "Word Is Bond" "Way To My Heart" "Caramel City" "Get Outta Town" "Suicide Woman" "Love Is Unkind"
There's been some speculation, based solely on its name, that "Papa," will be a tear-jerking, emotional tour-de-force about an orphan girl who dreams every night of an imaginary father that she will never know.
Conversely, it could also be about how the Cocoa-Buttered Cock-Rocker is the baddest mofo of all time and plays the guitar like a devil child.
Anyway, as we already told you, there's also a pair of Danko tracks up for grabs on two impending compilations: one's just the reissuing of "Bounce" on a rock sampler, but the other is a Ramones' cover which should kick all sorts of ass.
As for the Mango Kid's touring schedule, he and the other two-thirds of his trio have already finished up a small batch of Ontarian dates. They're now poised to travel back to their new European home base to continue a quest for fame, fortune and Ozzfest. Keep checking the band's website for the details.
Incidentally, the DJ site is pretty cool… but it ain't perfect. Sure, it's got all of the mandatory "official music site" content departments: news, tour dates, photo galleries (in stylish black and white, no less), song downloads and cut and links. Still, we couldn't help but think about how much MORE cooler Dankojones.com would be if it incorporated a few more of the other online features that are de rigeur with other band sites.
Like, how neat would it be if the Brown Panther kept an online diary of things he did while on tour, a la Limp Bizkit or Moby? Good god, that would be entertaining…
"Hey, what's up, guys? Life on the road's getting pretty hectic… right now, we're still in France, where it's been unseasonally hot. Speaking of 'hot,' yesterday morning, after a hearty breakfast, I had sex with your sister. Then, me and the boys went sightseeing and checked out a bunch of historical French sites before getting ready for the gig in Nice. Speaking of 'nice,' I also had sex with your girlfriend yesterday afternoon. The show went off really well and the crowd seemed to really like us. Speaking of 'really like,' after the performance was over, I went back to the hotel and had sex with your mother. Then I kicked her out.
Sincerely yours,
Danko."
Just a thought…
