LIFE GUARD ON DUTY

for reference

This is me and my sisters hunk and my hippy aunts hippy partner randy, he got me a moon calendar. 

sitting by the walden pond is boring

I went to elementary school w 1/2 of this adorable couple. I found this picture of them kissing on facebook.com. I bet they had a lovely time kissing, but like tbh kissing for the camera FREAKS me out. I would totally kiss my sisters hunk boyfriend. 

okay, i work on the 7th floor of a big and tall building and this bug was on the window that i like to look out! fraught! shaking! and all i could do was watch this little body quake until the ineluctable buckling of their little legs:_(

more kissing hehe

wasted youth (for mable)

I was approached by a long time reader of my blog inquiring if I accepted submissions. Before I could answer with delighted affirmation-- she jettisoned the thought clouding her conditions, "What the fuck is up with 'Wasted Youth'? Not the la punk band, the goth band." ( I felt truly honored that she sought my investigatory skill set, I would appraise my use of maneuvering wikipedia to the highest regard.)

For the past two days I have been rifling literature, first and third hand accounts of performances, and deeply hanging out with the archived music available to me. Thanks to the many bloggers alike who have written on the group and the subject, I really don't know too much about goth music nor would I be able to articulate cannon of music that would turn the heads of black hair, eye lined rock and rollers, but these are my thoughts none the less ~~~~~

The timeline of alternative music and counter culture identities in the UK place Wasted Youth among many groups and ideologies that have transcended their time. This, dominating geohistories, and the operation of the Los Angeles based punk band under the same name have contributed to the recycling of their name without homage.

The group was based out of the East London's Canning Town amongst the predominate Oi! and Mod Revival scenes, sharing the same venue/pub/record label, Bridge House. The group's presence was welcomed here as the bassist, Darren Murphy, was the son of owner Terry Murphy.

The groups enshrinement is a bit peculiar. Their largest contemporary following is amongst goth fans with cult tastes, lending to their goth classification, despite the group predating the category. Their early recordings do not elicit a goth association and paradoxically the influence they took from the likes of the The Velvet Underground and even Black Sabbath outshine the simple alignment with the development of canonized UK punk. Wasted Youth's doomy sounds and poetic lyrics that bend gender and sexuality (intermixed with tunes embedded with a conservative set of societal values) posed them as a darker alternative to the more recognizable (in 2018) Bauhaus and Joy Division.  

The group disbanded after three years in 1982, not before producing three records and experiencing success on the UK indie charts. 

There isn't all too much out there beyond simple histories written by fanatics of the group. Personally, with the consideration that I have been exposed to more politically obtrusive bands, do not find anything super neato in their music. Some of their stuff is pretty good, Jealousy is my favorite (https://youtu.be/3pXnZdy5U1Q), but overall, I probably won't find myself listening to them again. i dont really listen to any goth music, but i do believe there is something to enjoy in them. 

This one was for mable.

Good Morning Chicago Container Gardeners!

"The only downside to container gardening is that it can become addictive. One beautiful container of plants usually leads to another and then another. Soon the pots will be taking over your terrace. Just remember to leave some room for a chair so you can bask in the glory of your movable garden."

Just because it is summer
don't forget about the vitamin c!

things people have said about 'billy omaha'

"The erection of a crucifix marks the end of a radicalism. 'Good night, Jesus Christ.' 'Hello, Billy Omaha.'"

-a review i wrote of billy omaha's demo

"They harmonize the magic of Elizabeth Cotten, Free Cake for Every Creature, and Frank Samperi."

-something i thought of at falafel island

"They do more covers than Throbbing Gristle."
