Missed Stu Sutcliffe's birthday 10 days ago. Imagine looking this boss in 1961. #stusutcliffe #beatles #beatleslegend #liverpool
RIP Ann Blyth, pictured here with Glenn Strange as Frankenstein. #annblyth #ripannblyth #glennstrange
Great album cover of oud music from The Internet Archive @archive.org #oudmusic #oud #internetarchive
The first dance club I went to was called Warlock - the room was pitch black, there was a fog machine and films of pagan rituals were screened on the walls. Little did I know that this wasn't goth, but Witch House, so if someone asks asks you is there anything darker than goth, well... #witchhouse
Pretty certain I'm going to release my children's book later this year. #childrensbooks #thehipchicks #booksforkids #kidsky #kiddielit
Learn how to play the mandolin. Striped shirt and bowtie optional. Illustration found at @archive.org #melbay #mandolin #musicbooks
Surrealist painter Leonor Fini, a free-spirited artist who posed equally for both avant-garde and sexy photographs. #leonorfini #femaleartists #femalepainters #surrealists
Mimsy Farmer, circa 1975. Quite a different look for her. #mimsyfarmer #giallofilms #screamqueens
Glenn Gould was from the same generation as Chet Baker and Johnny Cash. The young white musicians of the post World War II era had a radically different perspective, and it was very exciting. #glenngould #classicalmusic
If you'd like to download tracks from the Trash Can School library on Sympathy For The Record Industry, they can be accessed for free at Freegal.com, one of the various sites your local library provides. Freegal allows you five tracks a week for free to download. #freegal #trashcanschool
You can say the hantavirus isn't deadly all you like, but I definitely see an increase in people walking around town with masks all over again. And why not, the government doesn't give a damn if you die. #hantavirus #CDC
Tuned my mandolin to my cell phone tuner (Prfctuner) in spite of just spending $15 on a new Snark tuner at Guitar Center. #mandolin #prfctuner
Testing, testing....can I post my music videos? #irishbouzouki #neofolk #folkpunk
Another birthday coming up at the end of the month is the late Wes Freed, nouveau cowboy artist who designed album covers for bands like the Drive-By Truckers. A posthumous volume of his great art can be purchased at www.wesfreed.com #cowboyart #wesfreed
Lola walked so Lou Reed's Walk On The Wild Side could run. Fuck you, Moby. I saw The Cockettes dancing on stage with The Kinks when they played Lola. Transphobic, my ass. #thekinks #mobysucks #moby #raydavies
Happy birthday to Joanne Woodward, shine on brightly. #joannewoodward #tennesseewilliams #fiftiescinema #criterioncollection

Does anybody else remember that incredible line of Andy Warhol-influenced fragrances from Bond No 9, released about 15-20 years ago? I still have my Silver Factory cologne, which smells like plum wine. You can still cop a few of these on eBay, but they don't run cheap. #andywarhol #bondno9
Oh, the irony. This great Chinga La Migra shirt is available on Jeff Bozo's shopping site. There must be an alternative source to get this beauty. #chingalamigra #fuckice #lamigra
This year marks the Centennial of the Los Angeles Public Library, a library with a rich history, mentioned in novels by Raymond Chandler, John Fante, and others. When Charles Bukowski lived downtown he did his best literature crawling here. Happy 100th birthday! #booksky #lapubliclibrary
Made the trip to Voodoo Doughnuts in West Hollywood and it did not disappoint. The Voodoo Doll donut had strawberry (blood) filling and the Old Dirty Bastard donut had custard filling. They were all very rich, too. #voodoodoughnuts #donuts #pastry #foodsky
The only American king I follow is Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. #MLK #martinlutherkingjr #fuckracism #nowhitekings #happybirthdaymlk
2025 My year on Goodreads and the books I've read. Not enough, of course, but there's the various music bios like Steve Katz, John Mayall, the Kay Nielsen collection, and of course my poetry in Horror Sleaze Trash Quarterly. #goodreads #booksky #horrorsleazetrash #hst
