Unbelievable that the singer of this band was cracking eggs so hard by being the best character in Desperately Seeking Susan and then 5 years later was releasing albums like this with songs like “nick cave dolls”

Luscious Lux Interior (nee Erick Lee Purkhiser) was BOTD in 1946 and died too soon in 2009 at the age of 62. Although I guess that's pretty old for a punk/rock and roll legend. Shown here with his wife and fellow Cramps bandmate Poison Ivy, left, and with Nick Cave, right

A clear contender for #5debutalbums8084 This 1980 entry is about as close to a perfect record as it could be. It’s not just Chrissie either. What an amazing band all around. Played frequently. RIP James Honeyman-Scott & Pete Farndon. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

“If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.”

- former First Lady Betty Ford

The East Wing is gone.

Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble.

All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.

Waited until got to temple of Scottish indiepop, @monorailmusic.bsky.social, to buy the Cords album. Enough fizzy jangle, tambourine tapping and bouncy ba-ba-bas to share among us old heads and all the young boppers. Hope Eva and Grace inspire a fresh generation. ❤️

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Did anyone spot moving vans outside the White House recently that could have been used to remove precious, historic furniture, mantel pieces, fixtures, chandeliers, lamps, and portraits from the East Wing to safety?

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
