Embrocated Hot Links

In My Gremlin, The Rave-Ups (1985) The Rave-Ups formed in 1979 at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After some lineup changes and a relocation to Los Angeles, they hit the indie rock scene of the 1980s with some success. Their appearance in the 1986 movie Pretty In Pink gave them nationwide exposure, but problems with record company promotion and distribution stifled their career.

The .Gif Friday Post No. 842 – Dancing The Radioactive Flesh, Vintage Tagger & Jake Blues’ Brows

[Found here, here and I messed with Joliet Jake’s mugshots just because.]

More about the top one: From Mexican surrealist producer Luis Buñuel’s film Simón del Desierto (1965), the final scene in a nightclub (Café Milleti). Saint Simon Stylites is present, and so is the Devil. St. Simon asks “her” for the name of the dance, and the Devil replies, “Radioactive Flesh.”
The band is Los Sinners. [Scene starts at 41:18.]

Saturday Matinee – The World’s Largest Laser Gun, Oorutaichi, The Heavy Heavy, and St. Paul & The Broken Bones

World’s Largest Laser Gun (2018) by Corridor.

Oorutaichi is a “free-form, improvisational electropop artist from Osaka. Inspired by The Doors and The Residents,” he once had a band called Urichipang, and the Utoob description (via Google Translate) doesn’t help much:

PV of “Atlantis” from the album “Giant Club” by Urichipan-gun, which has been well received by UA, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Seiichi Yamamoto, and many other people as one of the masterpieces in J-POP history.

What a laid-back groovy groove. The Heavy Heavy is “a reverb-drenched collision of psychedelia and blues, acid rock and sunshine pop” based in Brighton, UK.

Jake’s and Elwood’s long lost nephew.
Paul Janeway of St. Paul & The Broken Bones nails the Stax/Volt soul sound, while Janelle Issis makes the video even better.

Might get a haircut tomorrow before someone starts calling me “mulletman” – again. See you back here for popcicles and beer.

Saturday Matinee – ZeFrank, Yoann & Marie Bourgeois, Little Walter (w/ Hound Dog Taylor, Dillard Crume & Odie Payne) and GA-20

ZeFrank educates because it’s what he does, behbeh.

Yoann and Marie Bourgeois – The One Who Falls
Performances presented on October 22, 2022 on the occasion of the pre-opening of Hangar Y, the new cultural and event center of the city of Meudon.
Amazing dance / performing artists [h/t Memo Of The Air].

Walter’s Blues (1967).
Little Walter – Harp
Hound Dog Taylor – Guitar
Dillard Crume – Bass
Odie Payne – Drums

Straight Outta Loveland:
GA-20 covers Hound Dog Taylor & The House Rockers. Great authentic electric blues with respect, these guys ain’t posers.

Lotsa stuff to do: stuff that I need to do, stuff that I probably oughta do, and stuff that’s a total waste of time.  Seems I’m doing a lot of the third type of stuff these days, but at least it’s fun. Have a Superbowl weekend, and we’ll be back tomorrow. For stuff.
