R.I.P. Lux Interior
The Cramps were a huge part of my Jersey teen years, a band who’s sound and aesthetic paved the way for the legion of rockbilly disciples that exists today. They did it way back when this kind of retro was just not cool, and they did it with their own psychotic edge. Unfortunately Lux Interior passed away last night of a pre-existing heart condition in California. I have a lot of fond memories of him in a vinyl cat suit and a pair of stilettos destroying himself at City Gardens (Shitty Gardens for those in the know) and though I haven’t seen them play in years I will miss his warped and fearless spirit. The world needs more Lux Interiors.

Hello, I was reading something else about this on another blog. Interesting. Your perspective on it is diametrically contradicted to what I read earlier. I am still pondering over the opposite points of view, but I’m leaning to a great extent toward yours. And irrespective, that’s what is so great about modern-day democracy and the marketplace of ideas online.

i didn’t realize i had expressed enough of an opinion to have diametrically opposed one.
that’s the coolest thing that has happened all day.
