Silver Springs Submerged

My two very favorite types of vintage photographs (other than Weegee and dead Victorian babies) are monkeys wearing clothes riding in pedal cars (suck it, PETA) and staged shots of people doing stupid things underwater with moronic fixed grins on their faces. Today at work I visited the Smithsonian website (yes, I was that bored) and discovered a swell tribute to a noted underwater photographer named Bruce Mozert that not only showed some of his classic shots from the 40s through the 70s, but revealed some of his secrets--such as how he created the "smoke" in his underwater grill photo (condensed milk) so now I can create my OWN underwater tableaux! Which I will surely share with you all one day, as soon as I figure out how to teach pugs to hold their breath underwater.

True Norwegian Black Metal

'Kvitrafn of Wardruna'

"... In the last two decades a bizarre and violent musical subculture called Black Metal has emerged in Norway. It has its roots in a heady blend of splatter movies, heavy metal music, Satanism, Pagan mythology and adolescent angst. In the early-mid 1990's, members of this extremist underground committed murder, burned down medieval wooden churches, and desecrated graveyards. What started as juvenile frenzy came to symbolize the start of a war against Christianity, a return to the worship of the ancient Norse gods, and the complete rejection of mainstream society. .." (quoted from the Press Release)

Lily Tomlin

I don't always think Lily Tomlin is the funniest person ever, but sometimes she can really crack me up.

And here's Lily in a wet tee-shirt, "splashing on dazzle" in a real detergent commercial.

Salto!!!

Borrowed from Music For Maniacs from the 1965 Polish film Salto
"The dancers look groovy in their boss '60s suits and beehive hair-dos, but they move around like zombies performing some black magick ritual. Truly the reason why the letters "wtf" were invented." Amen

Everybody Do the Zombie Stomp!

No, not the Ozzy Osbourne version, the one by the Del-Aires as performed in the 1964 drive-in classic, Horror of Party Beach. You know, the movie with the undead atomic monster who has a mouth full of hot dogs.

Everybody do the Zombie Stomp
Just slam your foot down with an awful bomp
It's the livin' end!

Brunk 2

Hi people,

Yes, this is netlabel music and some of you are not supposed to like it because of that, so to annoy those I'm standing here at my rooftop shouting: HEY EVERYBODY!!! HEY!!! OOWAOOWAOOWAOOWA!!!! I LOVE THIS ALBUM!!! YEAH I KNOW IT'S 4 A.M. LOVE YOU TOO HONEY!!!



'none of the above', the follow-up to ' sept 2003 ', is a further exploration of the melancholic and more accessible side of brunk. It has a quiet vibe and mostly slow songs. Once again these songs are made of overdubbed and edited layers of cut-and-pasted guitars, softwaresynths, samples, beats etc; with at the same time lots of improvised elements and spontanuous aspects, uncorrected imperfections and a perhaps slightly naieve 'homerecording lo-fi' touch.

The fatal instincts of Gloria Grahame

" ... Once, when I was drunk in an attic in New Jersey, I flipped on the television, and there was Gloria Grahame in something called Naked Alibi (1954), lip-synching to a song and gyrating obscenely in a sleazy club, a taunting, creepy image that kept me from sleep and kept me watching as she played out another brutal film noir plot, raising her eyebrows and goading the men around her to violence, rough sex, and ruin. Most of Grahame's films have lurid titles: Blonde Fever (1944), Roughshod (1949), The Bad and the Beautiful, Sudden Fear (both 1952), The Good Die Young (1954), Blood and Lace (1970), and, my personal favorite, Mama's Dirty Girls (1974). Say her name out loud, and it even sounds like her: Gloria Grahame, fancy and earthy at once, tart, ungraspable. She generally makes her entrance on-screen accompanied by a wail of hot jazz, eating candy, applying lipstick to that puffy mouth, flipping her dirty hair and cheap hoop earrings, extending her toned legs so we can see her shapely feet tied up in ankle-strap high heels. Her perversity knows no limits on-screen; in life, she was capable of sleeping with the 13-year-old son of her second husband, Nicholas Ray (she later married this stepson and bore him sons). She could never deny her impulses, and her wantonness made and then destroyed an exciting career in movies. ...

... Gloria Grahame lived on the sidelines of her films because it was there that she could cause the most trouble; she might appear in any movie, young and sullen, aged and insistent, under a pound of make-up or plain-faced, fucking the pain away, putting out a cigarette in someone's eye, giggling for no reason. She's inescapable, a disruptive force, and when I hear her in my head, she seems to say, "C'mon, you know you want to . . ."
Dan Callahan tells us about the fatal instincts of Gloria Grahame for Bright Lights Film Journal.

A great clip with Gloria from Fritz Lang's The Big Heat:

The Successful Reintroduction of Men's Tights

My ever-thoughtful e-friend Battlecat knows how much I enjoy a scholarly essay and sent me a link to an important study "1968 - 1970 - The Successful Reintroduction of Men's Tights" on the German Hosiery Museum web site. Surely we can all benefit from knowing the history of what German men have going on inside their Lederhosen.
