I love Rough Church, and they’re also friends of mine, which is the best combination. Some of this was shot at the Mt. Washington party on the 4th.

[witty comment regarding title of song]
1) Pretty good use for a fun one-hit song.
2) Wow. These are the whitest people ever.
HELLO, LOVELIES. WHO’S GOT THE BUMP UP FOR LORD FONDLEROY?
Feeling good today!
Really good, in fact, for the first time in a while. Rollin’ with that, if you please. Partly an accident of daily chemistry and partly Spring, but also I’m nearly off the #$(@)$ Vicodin, not more than a half pill a day.
This means that my digestive system is working again and I’m no longer laboring with the extra weight of a depressant. People who have abused the stuff tell me it’s no fun unless you take ten or more with a big glass of vodka. I’m going to trust them on that one because I want to reach age 50, and preferably without dialysis or unwanted prison tattoos.
I have been listening to a lot of Bowie, and Queen, and a lot of other very pinky music. I wonder if I’m slowly turning into a fey, bisexual 1970s Englishman? That would be more interesting in Orange County than being a left-wing nerd. To celebrate this, here’s a video of Bowie, Klaus Nomi, and Joey Arias doing “Boys Keep Swinging” on Saturday Night Live, on my 15th birthday: December 15, 1979 (thanks to torgo_x for the find!):

I blame mendel:
I like big embeds and that ain't
DOG POLICE!
I’m not sure where mendel found this. I never saw it back in the day, probably because I didn’t see much MTV until the end of ’83. Now I cannot stop watching it, and I pulled out the mp3 so I could listen to it. It’s.. Well, it’s the dog police.

Music video blows. Seen your video, we don’t wanna know. But sometimes…
The Members released this song in 1982 and it was a minor New Wave hit here. It’s been a mixtape regular for me since. Never did see the video. Now I’ve seen it and I like the song even more.
Effortless raffish charm from the singer. You can immediately tell he’s the kind of guy who makes everyone think “Oh, shit…” whenever he grins, and who shows up and spontaneously causes parties. Goofy overacting. New Wave Girls in 80s Power Suits. HUGE PHONES. The near total inability of anyone to keep a straight face. And in true punk fashion the whole thing dissolves into chaos and hilarity by the last third of the video: people stuffing food into their faces and pushing each other into pools and failing to keep a straight face for any reason whatsoever. I want to visit 1982 so I can party on the set of this video.
I dropped a flash video at http://www.masculinehygiene.com/d/m/workinggirl.html and you can probably find it on youtube also.

I direct your attention to Sondra Prill, the songbird of Tampa. Particularly to her interpretation of the classic Janet Jackson dance number “Nasty Boys“.
