Vale Lux Interior
Thursday February 5th 2009
I just heard that Lux Interior - founder of the Cramps - has passed away at the age of 60. Boo.
I've never really heard much of the Cramps, but I like what I have heard. Psycho-Billy is good stuff, even if it the name was invented as a marketing stunt.
My main memory of the Cramps is from when they appeared on some Andrew Denton program back in the early 90s. Denton managed the probably rather remarkable feat of rendering Lux speechless by informing him that in Australia "Lux" is a brand of dishwashing detergent. They then went on to perform Swing the Big Eyed Rabbit.
Farewell Lux!

Were it not a violation of God's law, I would marry Dresden Codak.

A Brief Update
Friday January 23rd 2009
It's not very often that I - in the modern parlance - 'LOL', let alone 'ROFL', however page three of tonight's Freakangels had me laughing out loud for several minutes.
That is all! :)

Any Poor Souls...
Thursday January 22nd 2009
Any pour souls who trespass against us,
Whether they be beast or man,
Will suffer the bite or be stung dead on sight,
By those who inhabit this land,
For their's is the power and this is their kingdom,
As sure as the sun does burn,
So enter this path, but heed these four words,
You shall never return...
(This has no relevance to anything whatsoever, but the song and the image are so inextricably linked in my head that I had to post it some time :)
