Is that a sign for Yvonne De Car!o in Hot Legs (1952)?

Arthur Rimbaud, "The Seekers of Lice"

He hears their black eyelashes beating in the perfumed
Silence; and their gentle electric fingers
Make in his half-drunken indolence the death of the little lice
Crackle under their royal nails.

Then the wine of Sloth rises in him,
The sigh of an harmonica which could bring on delirium

And the video! Impressive.

Gong lives! I saw their 25th anniversary tour long ago, with most of the original lineup.

This is a particularly comforting version, thanks.

OMG OMG OMG!!! I just won the inaugural Empty Bottle of Whiskey Peace Prize! I don't know what to say. This award took me totally by surprise, and it is such an honor. Remember, if I can do it, anyone can. Let's save this planet one empty whiskey bottle at a time.

I love this band. Their first three albums all deserve a listen, and this is from their second, which has several more bangers as well.

I'd heard the recording before, but never seen the footage 😄

YouTube video by I. Zurutuza TV Personalities - Magnificent Dreams

Token 2 was a hard pick, I often turn to music to find some happiness. But I don't think I could choose better than Television Personalities, with "Magnificent Dreams" off of Mummy You're Not Watching Me (1982).

Back in the days before automatic payments, I would listen to this album (or Solid Air) every month as I wrote a stack of checks. It really helped keep me calm.

A celebratory image showcasing an assortment of people dressed in diverse costumes, raising glasses and bottles of Scotch whisky. It suggests the product is perfect for festive occasions and is appreciated by people of all kinds. Packaging for the advertised product is displayed with Christmas-themed gift wrapping. Park the reindeer. Just bring the White Horse. Then watch the party rip. White Horse is the Scotch worth celebrating. Smooth. Subtle. Persuasive. Good guys take it along when they're guests. Serve it when they're hosts. Leave plenty under Christmas trees, in its come-hither gift wrap. Why? Because they're good guys, and- The Good Guys are always on the White Horse FOR A SET OF 4 GOOD GUYS GLASSES (WHERE LEGAL) SEND $3. TO WHITE HORSE, DEPT. L-12, BOX 170.

I'm still listening to The Fall.

the tonic salesman, the used car salesman, the diet fad people and always having a new schtick, the vaporware tech guys in silicon valley spouting a fresh set of buzzwords every year - america is cruel, yes, but in the heart of that cruelty: it is also cheap, and it is tacky.

Documenting Deportation Flights at MSP Airport - UNICORN RIOT Over the past several months, an "aviation geek" in Minnesota who goes by ottergoose on reddit has been tracking, photographing, and posting his documentation of deportation flights online.

“A convoy of DHS vans will arrive” and unload people before shackling and inspecting them and directing them “to hobble up the steps onto the aircraft.”

12/5/95 Other Music opens its doors for the first time, selling $362.98 worth of merchandise on its first day in business 30 years ago today 🧡💙 thanks to Josh Madell and Chris Vanderloo for creating one of the most significant communities in my and so many New Yorkers’ lives

I mean, they labeled me as Boca Syndrome for some reason, which is a lower respiratory virus. Yes, it's most common in children. Is this some point their ai is trying to make? 😂

These posts ate awesome, and well worth looking into. But I'm talking about the ridiculous labeler I subscribed to, which has done this to all of us. 😁

Not sure how much longer I can deal with this, will probably unsubscribe soon.

A new rabbit hole for me

Let's all join hands and walk into the traffic.
