Exploring my new terrain. Avoiding obnoxious, self absorbed erudition..?? Here's hoping.
Tuesday Weld and Jordan Crane.
Wayne County, T.Rex, Turbonegro, Rose Tattoo, Shangr-la's, Ronettes, &; pretty much all the 60's girl groups excluding the Supremes,Cockney Rejects, Hank Williams Sr., Ernest Tubb, Rolling Stones,Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, the Cramps, Teenage Head, Bizet & operas in general, AC/DC, School Girls,Motley Crue, Guns n Roses, Hellacopters, New York Dolls, the Cult, Plasmatics, Minor Threat, Prince, Thin Lizzy, Johnny Thunders, Carl Perkins, Darkness,Tex Ritter, Sonic's Rendezvous Band, MC5,Wanda Jackson, Charlie Feathers, Buzzcocks, Deadboys, Electric Frankenstein, T.I., Dictators, MC5, Stooges, Slade,The Saints, Alice Cooper and more.
BASKETCASE!!!! Night of the hunter, anything with Jayne Mansfield, John Waters films (crybaby and prior), Pedro Almodovar. I kinda like Nick Zedd too. Oh and Clay Pidgeons and definitely Angel. Tim Burton's films pre Nightmare before Christmas and excluding Mars attacks...except for when his hot ex-girlfriend is in it. And Willy Wonka. Brigitte Bardot films too. Marat/Sade, the silent film about Napoleon who's name I often forget-it sounds pretentious but that was a grade school favorite,thanks Ma. Ghostbusters and re-animator. Most horror films. Things I can transfer into gay porn later. Can't wait to see Grindhouse!!...still haven't seen Grindhouse.
Finally got a tv but only because I won a dvd player. Cheapest flatscreen they had, that's me...Bootleg-Bougois!. I can't watch T.V. on it, I don't know how. If I did I would just want to watch Nick at Nite The many loves of Dobie Gillis, Beverly Hillbillies and the Andy Griffith show. Ernest T. Bass is the best! Get Smart and Batman too.
Gem of the prairie, Barbary Coast, the French Quater: an informal crime history, Gangs of New York, Cruddy,Truman Capote, Tennesee Williams, Mostly I like crime histories or biographies. If it's not violent and dingy it's fey and wistful. Or fey and bittersweet. Oscar Wilde's childrens stories are a damp handkercheif weakness. Pretty standard martyr complex b.s.
Gallus Mag, Ada & Minna Everleigh, Lili st. Cyr, the Shangri-la's, Gypsy Rose Lee, Jayne Mansfield, Robert Mitchum, Vincent Price, THE COCKETTES!! Basically people who are their art. Whether they try to be or not.
