  • Wandering Youtube

    Elle Greenwich is dead. She wrote some amazing songs. Tina Turner. What a voice. Can’t pass this one up. I didn’t realize until now that Marc Bolan played on Nutbush City Limits. Ike and Tina and the T Rex hit. Marc Bolan was the session player on this as well as Sexy Ida Part II…

    “We cannot have a fair prosperity in isolation…”

    “[W]e cannot have a fair prosperity in isolation from a fair society…. We must not surrender to the relentless medical inflation that can bankrupt almost anyone…Let us insist on real controls over what doctors and hospitals can charge, and let us resolve that the state of a family’s health shall never depend on the… size…

  • Les Paul

    Les Paul has died. 94 is a nice long life…I’m still sorry to see him go. Story at Huffington Post Note the Chihuahua in the background trying to sleep on the lounge chair. Out of a documentary. And this is funny. And fun. Les Paul’s death and looking at the old Les Paul and Mary…

  • Leigh Bowery Costumes

    Fantastic, exciting stuff. In my opinion, can’t use too many superlatives for this. SFV trailer for the documentary, “The Legend of Leigh Bowery”. Below is a photo of Leigh Bowery outside his flat in 1993. Reminds me of the 2002 Flaming Lips’ “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots”. Link

  • Get Happy

    They stood at the river, waiting for Colonel Bruce Hampton to pick them up and carry them to the other side

    “…in Hoogie Boogie Land there is no war, there is no hate, can you relate? So take us Sparky. Take us where we want to be.” And then, of course, you will want to watch the interview. “Stop that,” the Colonel said, and rode on, exhibiting only a trace of embarrassment. (Actually, one of the…

  • Ride the Time Machine

    What fun. BoingBoing points to the below Atlanta access DANCE-O-RAMA bit o’ episode from the early 1980s in which RuPaul teaches all how to dance the Timothy Leary inspired “Freakout!” to The Glass Family’s “I’m Losing it”. I’ve not seen anything this funny in a while.
