Shark Tank, this your garbage?

Peruse the Creem archives and see what horrible homophobic gatekeeping trash it was spewed from the American midwest. Lester Bangs, blech. After the 1972 reader's poll, the mag doubled down on the homophobia...but yrs after Bangs was gone, Eno was cited as a genius.

Ornamental Hermits Were 18th-Century England's Must-Have Garden Accessory Wealthy landowners hired men who agreed to live in isolation on their estates for as long as seven years

@stevehacketthq.bsky.social I've just learned of the Ornamental Hermit era in Britain and how did that the interesting character not show-up on SEBTP or earlier recordings!? What a classic-Genesis sort of figure! Also, a great band name!

Two cuts above.

He is Deznat. Look it up.

Lived in the last building, with the three windows, in 1982-3.

Please please please make me the assistant to the branch manager.

Unbridled greed, insular life, narcissism and drug addiction?

June began here with this auspicious sign.

and I have pursued experiences to catalyze artistic output.

45 yrs later to the day, button is still with me, sitting there to remind me to be creative/original/experimental. I remember where I was when I first heard Games without Frontiers playing loudly from a passing car with its top down. I bought the cassette that day. @itspetergabriel.bsky.social

Spoken like a true mob boss, or cult leader, or pathetic friendless skin sack.

Being a deep fan of a period of a band that I never saw is a bit of an aching mystery. This ramshackle bldg. is a place where Genesis, early 1972, learned the Italians loved the band's music. Imagining that amazing long-ago experience fuels my imagination! @stevehacketthq.bsky.social

Happy to see Supper's Ready is on the playlist. Thanks, Steve.

The captain leads his dance right on through the night, join the dance.

I've always wondered....all of the protective mystical charms put in place, and a believing population (I thought), didn't/doesn't discourage looting.

New level of masculinity attained!

For your Friday & wknd ahead...not flowers nor sunsets but hopeful and encouraging... @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

Recent travels took me by these scenes of resistance. All on a weekdays. Not part of national organized protests. The first is rural New England afternoon, 2nd overpass in MD morning, & 3rd scene-no pic-at least 100 protestors in front of Tesla dealership, Mawa NJ, rt. 17, Wednesday afternoon.

Wish I had been there. Is this the show that Richard MacPhail spoke about in one of his interviews, noting how amazingly powerful the Musical Box is so many decades later? On the other side of the planet, these described events are like remarkable dreams.
