S-A-T_U_R_D_A_Y NIGHT! 20 jan 2024. somervile thee-ate-er 1900 hours. on stage; Monster Gallery. on screen: Death Becomes Her 2020 hours. for both: $20;cheaper than a $30 lap dance in Syracuse NY! Throb Zombie, whom had hosted Slaughtehouse cinema or some such, was hostess with mostest and like the Sci-Fi marathon, costumes were Man Ray horror on streroids: "it's like Halloween here" (secret transmission between lance Link, secret chimp to Inpsecotor Darwin at APE HQ). "drag. burlesque. Fangoria is sponsoring!". "glad i went. one performer has scenes from Carrie on the screen". I should mention Throb Zombie WAS on Ru Paul's drag race and there IS youtube "imagine you're watching Ziggy Stardust in '72 or leavin' the trailer in SC in '79 to catch rocky horror at midnight". Kimmi Moore on youtube, one of the perforemrs. as for the grade-Z film, it was a perfect waste of the talents of Bruce Willis/meryl streep/goldie hawn. DID not see Death becomes Her 31 July 92; married "princess of the trailer park" 13 sept 92 (Miss Lyn gave me away; GLADLY!). BUT, ala the "Thon, Throb Zombie DID encourage folks to holler out stuff ala Rocky Horor. again, I wuz jonesin' for a film and "I'm so glad" i went!"

Dienstag 23 Jan 2024. 0500. channel 44 PBS. Funny Woman. Swingin' '60s london and all but hearing Uma Sumac in the soundtrack! Best scene tho is our "Northern Girl" appears on Val Doonican (I was living 8452 ridge road,brockport NY but we usedta get Toronto stations on the telly) and goes on a date with Mr. magic (lecherous magician). They go to that swingin' saint james club and "Johnny" tries to pull our bird, tho he favours Beatle George more. nightclub music: "makin' tyme" by creation and a Sonics toon! Wish I weren't there! Johnny: "Mr. Magic,then? why dont ye disappear...back to 1952" (cheeky scouser, 'e is). Lastly, our bird goes to a posh eatin' place and sez "I 'ear Mick Jagger eats 'ere"...IF I were the rock star, instead of the roadie, I'd think I was Absoultely Fabulously starring in this, if they took my screemplay"

Dienstag 23 Jan 2024. Rik biskit roth and if six was nine on WMBR deserve tribute as is, good show. seems he was at WA in glocuester, so at 0635, whilst I was in wardrobe ("wlelcome to the working week") WMBR became WTBS and like my distant customer karen carpenter sang "it's yesterday once more". 0635: ORIGINAL 1975 Garage reocrding of Willie's "Mass ave'. followed by neighbourhoods "no place like home" (b-side!). a couple Lost 45s (Willie) but "winner by elimination": "Moron Rock" by Ready Teddy 1976 album! This was all before 0700 but WA/Hoods/Ready Teddy: "Morning maniac music"!

day of THOR 25 Jan 2024. NUTHIN" better than a cup of coffee and Finding your roots on channel 44 (PBS) at 0500! guest: Sammy hagar! SO, his great-grandparents came from Italy to rochester NY as did Lydia Lunch mom's side, the Vicarris. 1900 census; my grandfather on farm 18 miles east and Sammy's grandparents on North Street; a quick google to North street, rochester equals a eight minute back to Vicarri, 880 clifford avenue,rochester, thus: ethnic Italian neighourhood that became The Hood. december '73 Montrose opens for Foghat andJ. Geils in Rochester and I was wearing a T. Rex t-shirt mail order from Circus magaziine that damn sho' don' fit no mo. Sammy hagar with Montrose was fantastic and one drunken 1985 Johnny and Jumper cables practice we all discovered we liked Montrose! Matt Burns (RIP) remembered seeing Jumper cables playing to nobody at Green street station and we did "rock candy". Cables doing "rock candy" at Matt memorial worthen tavern, sunday 24 march. EPIC

Freitag 26 jan 2024. surfing about on my crabby appleton i-phone during supper, the podcast app, and discovered Ugly Things has a podcast! dave aguilar of chocolate watch band talks to mike stax/ugly things/the Loons for about an hour, facts I DID not know! Plus hearing all those great Choclate Watch band toons DMZ may have covered about 1977. I'll toss in a tale: abbey lounge, two days before 9/11, I had sang "over under sideways down" and the guy whom i saw on tv zero-dark 30 '79 riot on sunset strip said "good set", then Professor Agular fronted thee psych-o-daisies for a couple watchband toons. A nice guy, he used to host sci-fi films at some Harvard observatory when he was Proff-ing here; any dude that sings garage and is into sci-fi is "all right in my baby's book
