Killing Joke?
or Nirvana?
So This Is Cool
Learned this past weekend on a trip visiting my 81-year-old aunt that my grandmother’s cousin (my first cousin, twice removed) was a songwriter in California. And that I’m named for him, by way of my dad. (Fucked up spelling and all.) Here’s one of his tunes that Bing Crosby recorded.
And here’s another that could be fun to work up as a rocker.
Eat Your Spinach
Another masterpiece of indirection.
These Jokes Got Norm Fired
And he did them anyway.
Spacewoman
From The Breeders 2018 album All Nerve, of which I was completely unaware. Good stuff! Video directed by Richard Ayoade.
By the way, this album was recorded with the reunited lineup that includes Jim MacPherson and Josephine Wiggs.
A Great Gig
The audience is respectful and enthusiastic.
I assume the keys are not ivory.
Multitalented Moze
I think Makerbot suggested we do MORRISSEY MONDAY and I’m here for it.
The above passage won the prestigious Bad Sex in Fiction award in 2015. From Morrissey’s debut novel List of the Lost, which I’m sure we’ve all read.
You’re welcome.
Zap!
Behold the greatest classical lp cover of all time.
Long in the Tooth
I have zero desire to watch the same film over. The nostalgiafication of Star Wars was nauseating.
Thump Hard
“It’s o.k. officer. I’m a bassist.”
