Leave Me Alone, Nathaniel Mayer & The Fabulous Twilights (1962)Nathaniel “Nate Dog” Mayer was 18 when he recorded his first (and biggest) hit, Village of Love, in 1962. The members of The Fabulous Twlights are unknown. After a six year stint with Fortune Records, he disappeared into the East Detroit ghettos, only to resurface years later. Apparently he’d had a rough time, too – in 2009 he recorded The Puddle.

Saturday Matinee – Raoul Servais, Doo Rag, Flat Duo Jets & Raskahuele
Harpya, by Belgian animator and filmmaker Raoul Servais, is based upon C.L. Moore’s 1933 creepy short story Shambleau.
Music video for the song Trudge by Tucson, Arizona duo Doo Rag, shot on 35mm film. Pure roots blues industrial punk is kinda hard on the earballs, but I like it.
Flat Duo Jets performed a cover of Benny Joy’s Wild Wild Lover on Letterman in 1990, with backup by Paul Schaefer’s Late Night band. Don’t know how I missed these psychobillies. Dexter Romweber was/is an animal.
[h/t Gord S for both Doo Rag & FDJ.]
L.A.’s Raskahuele is tight My Spanish is too slow to translate, but sometimes I don’t need to know the words.
Have a great weekend, see you back here tomorrow, at least for a while.
