"period costume" -- so, like, JNCOs?

Johnny "Guitar" Watson – Ain't That a Bitch [Intro] / Ooh, ooh, ooh, Lord have mercy / I can't get ahead no way I try / Everything is outta pocket / Somebody do something / The brother's situation is abstract / Listen, mmm

this was 50 years ago. 50!

current 'Mutiny After Midnight' thoughts: kind of disappointed that "Ain't That a Bitch" wasn't a Johnny Guitar Watson cover, but still happy to listen to an album where it'd make perfect sense if it was

converted to a Toto van after 'Kilroy Was Here'

all this stuff is to the actually interesting music of the era what late '80s VH1 was to contemporaneous MTV

finally, a lineup I can point to when anyone asks me why I spent the post-Nirvana '90s mainlining hip-hop and dance music

OP sounds like something I'd yell at the radio in 2002 before switching it off and putting on 'White Blood Cells'

if only Mad Magazine was still around to call them "100 Ecchs" we might not be having this issue

also 'Scanners' aside I've seen every one of his '80s movies and he had an absolutely unfuckwithable decade, just absurd

I finally saw it for the first time a couple years ago and while it was exactly as gross as I expected it was also significantly funnier. The line where Brundle cracked that maybe he could make his experiences into a book for kids had me dying

some days I think "everyone on Bluesky is 38" is a far meaner thing anyone can say about that generation than anything I could come up with

Yeah, compare who Gen X PoC voted for in the last three elections with who white millennials voted for

The flip side of this is that these people just refuse to recognize the reactionary tendencies in their own cohort, as if the zoomers just came up with the whole alt-right incel culture all by themselves

Gen Z Lives in the Archive Is cultural time actually continuous?

This piece explores something I've thought abt in relation to the kids and their instant access to all of pop culture before them. How awesome it is to have everything vs how there's no context or history to it. Can endless scrolling of the past lead to new art/culture?

I mean it could explain some of my neurodivergent tendencies but I have loathed all things conservative since I was in grade school, what are we even doing here

Progressive millennials can have a little ableism as a treat

this isn't a huge fave -- I actually think his mid '60s stuff is more my speed -- but "Turn Off the Lights" is golden

yeah but it wouldn't be a 777 for me unless this came into the equation

‘Messiah of Evil’ had moments like that, sort of like a proto ‘Dawn of the Dead’ but for a ‘70s California town

What are we going to do without our asses?

there's an account here that's been reuploading them over the past several months and I regret to report that they have aged very well

jealous of the crows in my backyard who have no idea what the government is doing and can't read headlines

(none of this is funny obv. yet so much of it begs to be laughed at.)

I appreciate this because it reminded me of one of the greatest compilation CDs ever made

what a dorque

reminds me of that epiphany I had when I read somewhere that all those clumsy slapstick "has this ever happened to you" scenarios in infomercials were there to obscure the fact that a lot of the products originated as assistance items for disabled folks
