Nothing lasts. Fight the good fight while you can.

Dopey, yet strangely lovable, "Blackie Preciosa," doesn't get the whole litter/burying concept. Nature/nurture, some things might be lost growing up in a Fruitvale BART parking lot.

As always, #Caturday is lame. (Or, more to the point, five cats is too many cats. Blah, blah.)
New orange Sammy (name NOT Fang related) is people friendly, but regarded as an annoyance by his own kind. Time will tell.

n/p Demian-Rock Star Farm LP (Starburst–ARC 3301 1974) Generously traded to me for 7 or 8 Gong Show Movie stills, & he even let me keep the Rip Taylor one!
(I'd have eventually let him have 'em for free.)

So far my favorite "cat hiding from fireworks" photo so far. Would totally appreciate folks supplying better examples of the genre.

Believe what you want, but Martin Rev had a huge, oversized influence on the dopey-ass music you & I & everybody we know takes for granted. The Cramps alone should suffice, but don't have to.

Not a good #Cat day. Three recent images of five cats sleeping soundly below. Give it five hours & every one of these felines will be cowering in a hamper/corner/stairwell in horror. Not to be a downer, but I've never enjoyed the 4th. Scared cats, crummy hotdogs, smelly Porto-Sans & men w/ 'staches.

Nicest guy ever, even if I never met him. Sent the guy an SCTV questionnaire in '94/'95, received a wonderfully self deprecating reply in less than two days. Still kicking, still hating on Joey Bishop - as it should be.

The "R" section is brutal:
Reagan Youth, Really Red, Redd Kross, Otis Redding, Jerry Reed, Lou (Metal Machine...), r.e.m.,
Rema-Rema!!!!
Martin Rev, RF7... and on and on.
Marco Pirroni surely managed a decent career out of this nonsense.

I'll take Frank Gorshin any way I can get him. At the $0.99 toy clearance aisle, or as Dr. Fletcher in 12 Monkeys? All in. But it's kinda sad that Frank Gorshin is the only decent thing about the 12 Monkey thing. (I was on a plane.)

Seeing a bunch of Mark E. Smith stuff on here for some reason. Here's mosaic artist Mark Kennedy's tribute from the outside wall of the Affleck’s building in Manchester. Kinda sucky that it's way off in the corner of an alley by the garbage, but I always make a pilgrimage to it, just the same.

A week in the UK, London/Newcastle/the Lakes/Manchester = not a lot of record shopping time. But Oxfam & Vinyl Resting Place in Afflecks/Manchester made for a decent haul. Not a lot of Ruts/Tom Jones/Girlschool in the East Bay.
