Me as Dracula, Halloween circa 1979, scaring the crap out of my little brother so that I might be bereft in deathly bloom (alone in a darkened room.)

Finally, someone else with my diet
“There was never a time when I was not refined-sugar-centric,” he said flatly. “I was always appalled by almost all other foods; I could not understand why anyone wanted them. I did not like the taste, the smell, the concept.” (thanks Ana!)

Micah P Hinson - ‘In The Pines’ (purchase)
This is an interesting new cover of an old Southern classic. It’s got an appropriate Southern-gothic-wall-of-sound-death-dirge-waltz vibe.
Also covered as ‘Black Girl’ by Leadbelly, and famously ‘Where Did You Sleep Last Night’ by Nirvana.

Debora Drower, Har Mar Theatre on the night before its demolition, Roseville Minnesota, 2006

“In the center of all this commotion there are these two kids, one of them is pummeling the other. And all around in a circle there are kids focusing their fake cameras on the fight, with their fake microphones in front of the fake cameras, breathlessly reporting on the fight that’s happening, and meanwhile, this kid’s getting the stuffing beaten out of him.
And nobody’s stepping in to help him?
Not a soul.” (via)

“Then this blonde, about 19, with rimless glasses and a smile walked up. The smile never left. “I want to fuck you,” she said. “It’s your face.”
“What about my face?”
“It’s magnificent. I want to destroy your face with my cunt.”
“It might be the other way around.”
“Don’t bet on it.”
“You’re right. Cunts are indestructable.”
“ She had sat on his gun, an article of apparel that in Louisiana is considered as essential as a zipper.
AJ Liebling, from ‘The Earl Of Louisiana’ 1960
