New Hat !!

I bought a hat. It came with instructions, and an overview of its performance.



My favorite part is the new design for recycling they came up with. Delightfully meaningless.

WET Magazine: July/August 1981

Here's another copy of WET, this time with a story about a New York potter's field, an agonizing study of artists in real estate, some wacky exercises (I did 'em!)....



....an at length interview with David Lynch,



and a story about music women, featuring possibly the best photo of Debra Harry ever:



I can remember being not so sure about LA, at the time, but now, I'd go tomorrow.

Jack White - Rockin' It

My Older daughter was fortunate enough to see The White Stripes live recently. I asked her to get me just one good shot of Jack playing, and she could use my camera.

Mission accomplished. This is a girl who, as a baby could communicate clearly without words. First baby I ever saw that always wanted to wear a hat. She'd go into a drugstore with me and organize all the items on the lowest shelves perfectly. She also had weird baby mojo that, whenever she walked up to a soda machine, she'd get a free soda just by pressing the buttons.

Here's the pic- it's also a link to a wallpaper:

1983 Japanese TV Show

SHINSHUN KAKUSHIGEI TAIKAI which, as far as I can tell is "Left Pig Team vs. Right Pig Team Talent Show" It probably has an elegant translation, but if you watch it you'll see what I mean: one act after another representing two teams. Ice xylophone players, kettle drum trios, square log rolling, E.T. mini-dramas, new wave magicians, and tons of commercials.

I had a friend who taught English as a Second Language and I asked him if he had any students who were Japanese and did they have any Japanese TV shows, because they were, like the U.S. on the NTSC color standard. He did, he asked and I was given this tape.

I didn't really edit it, so there's one or two glitches, and no beginning but it's like turning on the wayback machine and tuning in a 1983 Japanese TV to see what's on. Unadulterated. Wacky. Compelling.

It runs 1 hour and 47 minutes so if you pause for a while and let it load you can skip around. Conversely, if you watch it, you'll find it pretty mesmerizing at times.

Keeeee-rist!

Going Friday- the pic of tix - hicks...... and HERE's a taste
