hahaha I know! I'm like, "And then, Regurgitating Aardvark was like 'no you're great,' and then SonOfSam Has Christmas Cheer said, 'reverse cowgirl is overrated' and I was like, "OH YOU TWO!"

80s Music - STARCK CLUB

@starckclub.bsky.social

Members of experimental UK #AltElectro band #SonOfSam often laid riffs, beats & vocals on a central melody independent from each other before joining forces to mix a song together- their 1985 track “Not A Second Wasted”was a Starck fave

@tftunderworld.bsky.social

For over a year in the late 1970s, an unknown gunman targeted and shot young women and couples seemingly at random. The senseless violence gripped New York City in fear 🌆 #SonOfSam #truecrime #serialkiller

Book 6 - #SonOfSam by Jimmy Breslin and Dick Schaap. A novelisation of the true crime that clearly feels like something written nearly immediately after the arrest of #DavidBerkowitz. #TrueCrime

@tftunderworld.bsky.social

On August 10, 1977, David Berkowitz was captured by police and he was holding his signature .44 caliber Bulldog in a brown paper bag. He allegedly told the police, “Well, you got me. How come it took you such a long time?” #SonofSam

#DavidBerkowitz acted alone. There was not a Satanic cult involved with the #SonOfSam killings. Maury Terry is and was full of shit and just spreading #Satanicpanic paranoia.

The state of Georgia does NOT have the #SonOfSam law so she CAN profit from #QuintonSimon death since there are no fines. #LeilaniSimon Wow, just wow.
