Roast is in the crock pot

…potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic. I need to go to sleep so I can wake up to this deliciousness. I would have used sweet potatoes but StephieHell hates them.

Me: If I hear the table next to us say “church” one more time, I am going to start talking about “our Mosque.”

StephieHell: I am going to start talking about my Coven.

Can you tell we were made for each other?

I hated the “Aero Glass” nonsense, but what is this? I always think these are fake mockups that someone is doing as a bad joke, but they’re real. 
“Microsoft announces anniversary edition of Windows 3.1 … I mean, Windows 8,” as Matthew Panzarino quips.

For those of you that don’t know who the Cramps are. Seriously, 1979….death punk rockabilly remains timeless.

Do you guys recognize these two people? It’s Lux Interior and Poison Ivy of the Cramps. 4 years before they started the Cramps, then known as Erick Perkhiser and Kristy Wallace. I know, you thought Lux Interior was a weird name…

Somehow…

…I still think I can impose my charismatic concert promoter personality into conversations a decade (or more) from that reality. I am old and not that interesting anymore. But…I promise a self published ego book on the subject in a couple of years….

Goober Pyle is dead! All I can say is, “Judy, Judy, Judy, Judy, Judy…”

Watching “Fargo.” The parking ramp murder faces the downtown Minneapolis hotel that a Gustavus Adolphus sorority event I attended with Julie Jakway, circa 1981, happened. It wasn’t that bad. No one died.

I should be taking video of the lightning storm outside but I am too lazy to grab my iPhone. To hell with the super moon, this light show is much more spectacular.

I am completely crushed by the death of Adam Yauch. Going completely by memory from a music scene 1,200 miles away, I remember the early 80’s Beastie Boys trying to fit into the New York music scene. They tried metal (complete with long hair), punk rock, and Cro-Mags style hard core as a 4 piece band. Even after Adam Horowitz replaced 2 people they still continued their previous experiments. Then they tried rap as a joke on their “Cookie Puss” 12” EP. It sealed their fate. My DuPont house room mate and Sonic Warp partner, Paul Schwartzberg, bought “Cookie Puss” at Oarfolkjokeopus and played it for us at an aftershow party. I have been hooked ever since. 1983/84?…we had never heard anything like this…except for the Warlock Pinchers.
