No correspondence will be entered into
This is NOT just your daily 'AWWW'!The best cat in the world who has accompanied me from pillar to post these past 5 or 6 years.
Originally found as a wild kitten across the road from where my kids lived, she is very much a one person cat, but she knows ALL my secrets!
Named Jade for her green eyes and is overall just SO damn beautiful.

Kathy Acker interviews William S. Burroughs (c. late 80's)
The late, great Kathy Acker interviews the late, great William S. Burroughs.
Alongside the late, great J.G. Ballard they were to me the holy trinity of "writers/artists/observers who understood our evolving modern world (and its dark, deep gutsy soul) far better than most." *
"They talk about many things: Word as Virus, Scientology, Jesus and the legion of apocryphal stories that followed Burroughs around like carrion crows. This took place in the late ’80s, and both had less than a decade to live, passing away within a few months of each other in 1997. We will not see their like again."**

Mindless Musings in the Mundane
May I draw your attention to this blog.
'anothernic' has commented at this blog before but it took me a while to work out that I knew him from elsewhere.
We are both members of a group that discusses anything and everything but that usually involves cheese, beer, dope and the GOGD.
No - that is not true anything can be discussed there as the current thread of why we want to be lesbians (in the manner of Loudon Wainwright (and note that is not L-U-D-I-N- W-E-I-N-R-I-G-H-T) will attest.

The Drones (Off The Record) @ 'Aquarium Drunkard'
Over at 'Aquarium Drunkard' The Drones reflect on their city of residence (Melbourne in this case) and choose a handful of places they could not live without — be them bookstores, bars, restaurants or vistas."The Weather :: Though the summers get pretty warm, the other three seasons are more or less on the mild to freezing side, which means I get to rug up. I hate wearing shorts...
Joe’s Shoe Store :: This is my local bar. Everyone needs to have a local. Life is not complete without one. I can go into that place, not even open my mouth and still be served exactly what I was feeling like at the time. Also, the folks that run the place are as unruly as the unruliest of customers, so the mood is always right. One minute you’re talking to them about the middle-east crisis, the next you’re trying to talk them down off the bar and to put their clothes back on. How I miss it, when I’m away."
(One of my locals!)

REPOST - The Kid With The Replaceable Head
Photograph by David Shankbone
Here are 'The Kid With The Replaceable Head' and 'I'm your Man' by Richard Hell & the Voidoids as produced by Nick Lowe and released on Radar Records in 1979.
If anyone has a copy of the piece Richard Hell wrote on David Johansen for Lisa Robinson's 'Hit Parader' back in 1975/6 could they please get in touch with me.
It is almost Hell's manifesto about giving not 100 or 200% to rock'n'roll but 400%!
It was not reprinted in 'Hot & Cold'.
