Im quite chuffed to say Im going to hear the #RingCycle at #CarnegieHall in March 2027. I could only afford a balcony seat, and if youve ever been to CH you know thats like sitting on the edge of a steep mountain, whichll be oddly appropriate. Still, itll be fn brilliant. #Vertigo #RichardWagner

Mein Kvetch 02: The Devil in Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven," Baskmasking, and the Satanic Panic of the 1980's

A retooling of a spoken word piece that was a retooling of an essay for an aborted book project. Some will find this familiar, I hope. #StairwayToHeaven #Backmasking #Satan #HeresToMySweetSatan #LedZeppelin #LZIV #JimmyPage #RobertPlant #nevaeHoTyawriatS

Mein Kvetch 01: Is It Gin Yet? How to Drink Responsibly

Finally giving Substack a spin. All free, no paywall or subscription. I'll start taking tips in a while, not sure when. New column every week, each about a 10-minute read, which is about 85 times longer than the average orgasm.

Here's the first one. Enjoy!

I've been learning this whole Substack thing for the past month or so, and it's not as horrible as I imagined, although it'll still require lots of promotion and marketing myself, which I hate. It's a free read for all, but in a few weeks I'll put my mohl hat on and start taking tips. #MeinKvetch

Had a fantastic time seeing @tammyfayenyc.bsky.social bring her Marianne Faithfull show to @citywinery.bsky.social last Friday. Every bit as good as her Nico gig: funny af, a great band, and I got an Ulrike Meinhof quote to boot. Hopefully TFS does CW or @joespub.bsky.social again sometime soon!

#PeepShowDepot wants to thank the staff of the #WFMU Record Fair for a great day. We met lots of great folks, had a few laughs, and easily had the most photographed record bin there. And even tho we never got to speak w that adorable tall redhead, we call the day a big success.
