Our Sixth Annual Online Christmas Show! You know how the jingle is gonna jangle: Scott and Dan will go back and forth, 3 songs at a time. There’ll be our own tunes as well as covers both seasonal and otherwise, fairly silly banter, tacky set design, and lots of heckling and tangents in the chat.

First time reading this. While not as grim and terrifying as 1984, there was quite a lot to chew on here. Can’t help but think of our phones and how much less human we become when comfort and escapism are of the utmost priorities. Thoughts? #BookOfTheMonth #BookSky

My friend Author Elle Mitchell has written several books. I finally read one, and it was tasty. It’s about a physically disabled female serial killer. Dark humor, tight suspense, moral murkiness, good stuff. πŸ™‚πŸ‘ πŸ“š #BookSky

So this dude trademarked the name Goner and is now in the process of pulling all of my old band’s music off of BandCamp, Spotify, all the places. Business is business, I guess, but it still pisses me off.

A really cool touch: a half hour before the curtain went up, several of the cast were on stage, having an impromptu jam session, doing Irish standards and such. Lovely evening at the theatre. 🎭 πŸ™‚

The cast all sang and most of them proved to be multi instrumentalists as well (accordion, bass, cello, guitar, mandolin, percussion, piano, squeezebox, ukulele, violin).

Rousing performance @burningcoaltc last night. Simple themes of human connection and pursuing dreams, told with soul-stirring songs.

This troupe has been doing it out in Durham every October for quite a few years now, and if rehearsals are any indication, it’s gonna be an uproariously good time, with all the naughtiness, all the joy, all the yelling about missing necks that you know and love!

More recently, I wrote a song called β€œLili St. Cyr,” about one such Rocky Kid who grows older and sadder (like most of my characters do, natch). Which is all to say that I was thrilled when @lrodrigu75 asked me to play piano in the band for this here production of the stage show.

I worked at the theatre for several years, catching and working many a screening. We called regular attendees & performers β€œRocky Kids” and they were such a staple of the Five Points scene that they made appearances in Goner songs I wrote.

I’ve always had a certain fascination with The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Probably from coming up in Raleigh in the 90s, when @the.rialto would play it every Friday at midnight. I find the combination of freak-flag-flying and groovy nostalgic overtones compelling.

A majority of people in North Carolina and America at large favor progressive policies. If we the people had an even electoral playing field, these fascists would get beaten soundly and regularly. So they have to cheat in order to win.
