What fresh hell will I find here today?

Eldergoth, seen a lot of bands, will continue to see a lot of bands.
"Pick any year you like... one song per day from that year."
I thought about all the songs I love from 1980, and decided to go with a song I loved *in* 1980.
I was 7 that year, and this is still a jam

In 2 weeks, I'm going to see The Tear Garden live in front of my face.
I've seen Edward and his various Pink Dots ~15 times; I got to see Skinny Puppy 5 times.
I'm about to see Ed and cEv and Randall and it's too bad Ryan Moore wont be there to drum. youtu.be/v2kxvOBqOZI?...

Mitch McConnell is so dead that Giant Sea Turtles pass him washed up on the shore and go "damn, he dead, shouldn't happen to a youngster"
Mitch McConnell is so dead he wrote five new novels with James Patterson and three with V. C. Andrews.

Upon the death of Gloria Steinem:

My working mother in the 70's bitched about the "Women's Libbers" and not once saw the irony that she was a (women's Catholic) college educated, professional woman who got cancer from the Defense Industry she did chemistry for.

*pencils in on my time machine list right behind seeing The Clash in a small club*
When Amadeus first transferred from London to Broadway in 1980 the Broadway production starred Tim Curry as Mozart and Ian McKellen as Salieri and I would like to go back in time and watch that.

Do not fear the night.
You and your cat hair covered T-shirt, red wine buzz, and deep sense of cosmic dread belong to the darkness.

This is wonderful and exactly how I've felt all these years.
I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea.
But I'm 100% with its message.

When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me.

Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

I would put down a $5 bet that Mitch McConnell is announced dead today and expect to receive $5 in return.
Yes. Mitch can fend for himself.🤨 The real turtles still need you. 🐢 🐢

One time in the 90's I saw Moby and the Shamen at a rave in the Spruce Goose dome. Somebody was shaking their butt up on a wing and security was confused.

My point is, somebody fucked inside this whale and somebody else fucked inside the Spruce Goose which is about the same size.
The only taxidermied blue whale in the world, 1865 CE, now housed at the Natural History Museum in Sweden.

The public was allowed to enter the whale up until a couple was found having sex inside it.

Now the whale’s jaws are opened only for special occasions, such as Swedish election days.

Now Playing: Venom: Let There Be Carnage happens to be on a streamer I have and I've kinda been waiting for that.

This movie is powerful stupid, but kinda charming. Just what the doctor ordered.
