My sibling is at the Punk Rock Museum in Vegas and while I'm skeptical about a lot of it from the founders to some bands involved, I'm glad that someone is archiving this sort of thing.

She said I should go again with her when I get married in their horrible chapel. I said only if I can get married by a Joey Ramone impersonator and they have a variety backdrops screens you can pull down like the front of CBGB, an alley, a brick wall, a wall of flyers, a crowd shot, or the stage at Gilman.

Then I suggested they have one of those plywood things they have at carnivals where you can stick your face in the hole of the picture on the front. The picture on the front would be that Minor Threat photo of them on the porch.

I love Pennywise. I can only recall seeing them 4 times, Warped Tour, Smoke Out Fest? (w/Cypress Hill, NoFX), another show with Generic/Mistermeaner around the time of From the Ashes, and that one time at Republik where they opened up with Fight till You Die. No pictures at those shows, only memories.

🥺 I just miss you 🖤 𝐗 ∞ 𝐗

I wanna go when Don Bolles is hosting.

"Right when you get in, they hit you with that smell—like Funyun-flavored malt liquor. There are shoes and filthy socks all over the place and the VR headsets all have some kind of sticky shit all over them. The van and gear getting stolen in Philly really gives you the full experience. I mean, we got our shit stolen twice in Philly, and once we were just passing through to DC. That town does not fuck around.”

Some of the exhibits from The Punk Rock Museum I captured on digital film yesterday.

“The bats have left the bell tower / The victims have been bled / Red velvet lines the black box …” 

Yes! Grab the black liquid eyeliner, hair crimpers and can of AquaNet! Last Sunday afternoon we visited the Museum of Youth Culture’s exhibit commemorating The Batcave, the weekly club night at 69 Dean Street which became the epicentre of the Goth subculture between 1982 - 1985. Make no mistake: the exhibit is tiny but crammed with memorabilia and gritty portraits of the cadaverous clubbers via Mick Mercer and Derek Ridgers. Reading that The Batcave’s habitués included the likes of Siouxsie Sioux, Marc Almond, Nick Cave, Foetus, Danielle Dax, Lydia Lunch and Nina Hagen made me yearn for a time machine. And it reminded me that I interviewed Alien Sex Fiend (one of The Batcave’s resident bands) for my university paper back in the late eighties when they performed in Ottawa, Ontario. I still have the article in my archives and should post it online. (Alien Sex Fiends’ 1986 anthem “I Walk the Line” was a staple at the weekly “alternative night” at Oliver’s pub at Carleton University!). The exhibit was meant to close 29 March but apparently it’s been extended until 4 April. And recognise this moody coffin cutie?  It’s a young pre-fame Liz Hurley (yes, THAT Liz Hurley) photographed at The Batcave by Derek Ridgers.
