Today i learned that Arthur “The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown” Brown used to be in The Foundations.
Before Arthur Brown started the group, he was a member of numerous bands, including his first, Blues and Brown, from 1965 to 1966. In 1966, he would join The Ramong Sound, who would later change their name to The Foundations. The Foundations would later become successful with songs such as "Baby, Now That I've Found You" and "Build Me Up Buttercup". However, by then, Arthur had left the group to form his own. The Crazy World of Arthur Brown was formed in 1967,

What are you imagining him to be saying here, and why is it “gnarp”?

Gene Simmons-ass looking mouth. Ginger cat getting head scratches, his face is an expression of pure bliss Cat in a box, looking at the camera upside down with an expression like he’s just been caught watching porn.

Wow. The @redhotorg.bsky.social Transa box set finally arrived. Worth the wait, this is the most incredibly packaged and well-curated compilation I’ve ever seen.
A transparent orange perspex box containing 6 LPs 6 LPs fanned out on a table, in a gradient from tangerine to lavender, with a booklet and the orange box behind. The box is etched with “TRANSA” Text on one of the LP sleeves: “Trans people have alivays existed, often as spiritual healers and leaders, and with many different names across time and culture. As global systems continue to fail humanity and all life on Earth, trans people, and all oppressed peoples show us blueprints of possibility. May this be a glimpse of our collective liberation and the light inside all of us. - Massima Bell & Dust Reid Red Hot has produced music and media promoting diversity and equal access to health care since 1990. ww.redhot.org” Detail of a page in the lyric booklet. Text runs in a circle on one side, the other is arranged in columns interspersed with line drawings like a medieval religious or occult text.

I get mad at people who say “literally” when they mean “figuratively” but I say “boo-urns” when I really mean “boo” so I guess we’re all language criminals in our own way.

Last night was a great way to wrap up our summer of shows. Legit legend of Chicago live music scene Thax Douglas showed up and introduced each of the bands with a poem. Today I ache.
A page pulled from a spiral bound notebook with a handwritten poem: Weaklung Taking your Tongue for A fun run, it Seems Satisfied trotting Along leashed To your Hairy arm You’re convinced It never Gets tired of Chasing a Ball cause it’s Pretending It’s your Balls he’s Refraining From chewing each Time but You have no Proof and You and your Tongue aren’t Really on speaking Terms any more

Behold. My biological son. He shares half my genes. I made him. I am proud human father. I know how babby is formed. We throw baseball to each other. He wrote about me for an essay entitled “the person I admire the most”. I teach him the bicycle. I give him The Talk. He respects me.
