Sam Rosenthal & Black Tape For A Blue Girl & Projekt Records

There's someone playing accordion out in the middle of campus and I could've sworn they just played "I Have No More Answers" by Black Tape For a Blue Girl. The resemblance was too close.

youtu.be/oTYoKH1zs_E I found these videos on my old ipad. 12 minutes, 5 songs (2 are excerpts). Sept 4, 2010 in Atlanta, GA

Yes, the first 9 LYCIA releases were on @projekt.bsky.social

I released LLC's debut, BLOWEYELASHWISH, on my Projekt label back in '94. And XUVETYN in '96. Always an interesting live show.

#NotMusic A friend asks “There’s still a Washington Post? 🤣”
I reply: “Those fish aren't going to wrap themselves!”

A few days ago i got an invite in the mail to an open house at a nearby Senior Living Community... Uh oh! Do they know something I don't know? Is my time almost up? 🫠

Interview: Man Parrish on The Red Bull Music Academy Daily is the online publication by the Red Bull Music Academy, a global music institution committed to fostering creativity in music. Just like the Academy, we think of it a...

Man Parrish: "6 months later they’re playing my song 'Heatstroke,' here in New York City at the infamous Anvil Bar while a drag queen is breathing fire and a guy is shoving big dildos up his butt. And I was like, 'Oh, I guess I made it!' " 🤣

I owned MAN PARRISH's electro/proto-hip-hop debut in '82 (yellow cover); reminiscent of Kraftwerk, Moroder, etc: open.spotify.com/album/6PtcFh... I'm really liking his soundtrack for the gay porn film TURNED ON. forbiddenoverture.bandcamp.com/album/turned... Reminds me of a peppy AUTOBAHN!

Found my old cd player and am digitizing some hard to find stuff. Albums and EPs by Black Tape For a Blue Girl, Curve, The Tea Party, The Creatures, and last but not least the iconic Gothic Rock anthology from 1992. The 90s were great for goth. The 90s were harsh on my eyebrows.

You can find all of BlackTape at: blacktapeforabluegirl.bandcamp.com

When I see a musician posting from Dubai for a festival or show, I think, “I’d rather be poor than sell my soul.”

I remixed a track from Jon's Aarktica. Go give it a listen / download.....

Past 3 days the links (to the articles) on Wonkette.com main page don't work on old ipad. Did somebody add new coding? Steady & Paul Krugman's Substacks are fine, Wonkette fubar. Check if there's an extra "/" at the end of the links, like .../> that are breaking them.

Dennis Hopper was Alex Cox's first choice for the Harry Dean Stanton character in REPO MAN [1984]. Imagine Hopper as a coked-up version of his character from OUT OF THE BLUE, pissed off at where his life ended up, wanting that big score so he could get out.

Black Tape For A Blue Girl just got a new $10 patron.... blacktapeforabluegirl.bandcamp.com/patron

#NotMusic, kind of....
SiriusXM demoted The Spa (New Age/Ambient) to channel 746, only available at the streaming app, no longer on satellite radio. Its replaced by SiriusXM's 7th (?) Christian channel, "Message Worship."

Another part of the USA's encroaching Christofascist white ethnostate. 🤮

listening to this for the first time in *years* - black tape for a blue girl, the rope - college radio in the late 80s was a life saver...

Hi... The Rope turns 40 this year! I'll be Kickstarting a new vinyl edition oin a few months!

The studio version was 1:29 and had Melinda's clarinet; this live version is 2:39 and has Elysabeth's viola, which has more space to be expressive. I think the album's clarinet gave it a very TWIN PEAKS / David Lynch feel.... blacktapeforabluegirl.bandcamp.com/track/your-o...

Question: Do you like or dislike all those profiles that post endless, "On this date in xxxx, such and such album was released." or "Happy birthday to so and so" with a photo. Are those interesting, clutter or slop?

They probably use AI to scan to find which songs are AI-generated. 😜

Bandcamp banned AI music, they delete tracks/albums. How they know? I don't know. I have to read up on that.

Q: "All streaming platforms?" I'm sure! Because the same 100,000 songs get submitted to all via a distributor.

hey what shoes should I wear to the goth club?

⇒ Deezer: 28% of all music delivered to streaming is now fully AI-generated ⇐

They say there's over 100,00 new songs submitted every day. EVERY DAY!!! That's alot of AI slop dumped into streaming. Ugh, terrible junk.

Back in 1988-1991, my job was programming pre-Powerpoint speaker support slides for big corporations (Toyota, Taco Bell, Dennys, etc etc). The proprietary hardware/software system was called “TVL” #OldTech #DeadTech — I googled, nothing comes up. I guess that means it didn't exist! 🫠 #80s

I really hate how AI is taking over! When I get an email from Al Franken's PAC, it looks to me like it's from “AI Franken.” I suggest he change his name to “AL Franken” or “A.L. Franken” or “A.L. 9000” @alfranken.bsky.social

I asked a broody kid once if they knew Black Tape For A Blue Girl and they were like, nah but My Chemical Romance is fucking awesome....

I died a lil inside that day....
