Here’s a picture of Toody Cole of the band Dead Moon that I took in October, 2004 in New Orleans. With Dead Moon, you either got it or you didn’t – I didn’t understand, and then a friend showed me, and then I did.

U900 are a Japanese bunny and bear who play ukulele covers of surf tunes — in this version of The Ventures’ Diamond Head, Bear takes a melodica solo.
Takumi Suetsugu was my guitar tech for a big chunk of my time in White zombie. Here’s a photo of him with a guitar belonging to a subsequent employer.
Well, that’s fun. Go here to spell your name in 1974 Topps monster sticker letters.
I bought this tape from The Crucifucks at a show in Chicago in 1983. The Lansing, MI punk band would go on to release a couple of well-regarded albums in the mid-80s and were noted for the antics of frontman Doc Dart — significant also, the drummer on these recordings is Steve Shelley, who has been in Sonic Youth for the past 25 years.

I recently found a stash of 1970s publicity photos from a defunct talent agency. The Wonder Show Of The Universe!
T-Bone Burnett is an enigmatic, eccentric, hugely successful producer and musician who doesn’t give a lot of interviews, but when he does ( there’s a good one in Howard Massey’s excellent Behind The Glass Vol.2, which is a must-read for anyone who wants to make records ), he has me shaking my head and going ” this fucking guy, gee whiz ” .. here’s his recent NPR interview.

I recently managed to score a mint vinyl copy of a classic bounce track – UNLV’s seminal 6th & Baronne. It was one of the very first releases from Cash Money Records, and remains a crowd-moving favorite in New Orleans. Here’s what bounce scholar Ballzack has to say about it :
” This song is great for many reasons… the piano is really dramatic and immediately draws you in, UNLV’s sing- song delivery is hypnotizing, it sounds like it was recorded on a 4 track, and Mannie Fresh’s production is all heart. It’s a great song that gets you bucked up as soon it starts. If they released it now, it would still be great. It’s simply New Orleans punk rock at its finest. ”
