Violent Love (live), Oingo Boingo (1983) Ska cover of Willie Dixon’s 1951 classic. From the Utoobage comments:
“Fun fact: In the early 80’s when they performed this song, during the sax solo Danny Elfman would grab a random person from the audience and take them backstage. When they returned Danny would be zipping up his fly and the other person’s hair would be all messed up (and yes he did this with male audience members too).”

Every two weeks I take a photo of Moss Toshi and the offspring moss balls Toshita, Microtosh & Nanotosh. Related post with more photos and story here.

Those pictures also represent an important milestone for me. I’ve completed a fourth year of chemo, one every two weeks, 104 in total since May 2020. All is well, side effects are tolerable, and the dosage has been reduced twice. We’re just keeping a couple inoperable little bastards from waking up and messing around.
