It's kinda silly I care so much. They were such a small band, they had one demo
dupagecountyhardcore.bandcamp.com/album/mary-t...
and one split cd
open.spotify.com/album/26lR2p...
But they were so good at a time when EVERY SHOW I went to was important cuz I was a teen with NO MONEY for shows
Found a set by one of my favorite local punk bands from when I was in high school in the Aadam Jacobs collection on @archive.org !!
Mary Tyler Morphine at Lounge Ax in 1999.

RIP Ursula from MTM. RIP Lounge Ax.
On an escalator to the gym behind a guy with the thiccest thighs and a gal with the fattest ass (complimentary not derogatory)
Gonna tap em on the shoulders and tell em to stop skipping arm day, the upper body is important too!
📻 🗯 We're playing a nonstop block of HARD ROCK for all of you thrashers and smashers out there with the HARDEST HEADS and the HARDEST DICKS. Don't blame us if the neighbors CALL THE COPS cuz the KIDS like their music LOUD!
Next up—from their 1996 self-titled album—here's Sublime with "What I Got"
*I do not consider any of the generative models I've heard of to be artistically ethical as they've all been "trained" on stolen material, but if there is a model solely trained on what's in the public domain, I wouldn't have much objection**
**Artistically. Environmental concerns remain
Kind of nuts that I haven't seen any of the people who believe in the (current, not future) viability of generative AI to make quality films, aren't feeding their engines scripts, casting notes, set photos, and any other materials related to old films that have become lost media.*

Some #GlitterGuts pics from the DEAD CITY ODDITIES MARKET at Logan Square Auditorium
Some day! I don't know why it's taking so long for the universe to bring me there!
Took some #GlitterGuts pics at Salt Shed's ELSTON SKATE CLUB rollerskating party and an Elvis impersonator wandered in. Good times
"And Moby? You can get stomped by Obie
blow me
You don't know me, you're too old, let go
It's over, nobody listens to techno"
— Dave Davies (The Kinks)
I can't believe that both of the creators of Sandman are dead. RIP Sam Kieth
Having the worst string of luck the last couple weeks BUT
it's St Patrick's Day, and a beautiful ginger just gave me a smile and some extended direct eye contact for what bordered on a creepy amount of time, so maybe my luck's about to change ☘️ 💰 🌈
It’s not a plot hole that Elmo has been 3 years old for 50 years. He was bitten by The Count, willingly. Elmo asked for the Dark Gift
THAT ENDS IN THE DESTRUCTION OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER
Two cement playground turtles in front of an abandoned school by my house. "STOP THE VIOLANCE" is spraypainted on a boarded window behind them
STOP THE VIOLANCE 🗨🐢
One goose on a rooftop planter, hissing with its tongue out
Two geese on a rooftop planter, one hissing and one prancing
Failing to make friends with some parking lot geese.
Did you know that they can hiss defensively?
When I do it right, it's like "oh wow it's insane that you remember that but also flattering that you do and you care"
I think I was on the charming side of "insane autistic" me at a party last week.
I told one friend that I ran into her Loyola college roommate from 20+ years ago, and another person that I remembered him from his band that broke up like 15 years ago.
A 3x3 grid of beautiful goths. 8 of the 9 have clown/The Crow/classic white pancake makeup, and the 9th has elf ears
Some GlitterGuts portraits from last month's Nocturna at the Metro
Great exchange at the neighborhood liquor store:
SECURITY GUARD: This ain't a church, so y'all can't be congregating.
GUY WITH NO CHILL: I'm not a fuckin Christian, bitch!
SECURITY GUARD: You...... still gotta go.

PINEAL VENTANA - Malpractice
I love when the internet works the way it's supposed to. Got reminded of a noise band I saw ONCE in the basement of a coffee shop* when I was in high school and now I'm listening to them for the first time in [jesus fuck] 25 years
✅️ STILL BANGS
* RIP Nervous Center
There's no polite way to ask but I really wanna know if the guy loading groceries into the back of an ATV is the funnest motherfucker on the block... or just some guy with too many DUIs to drive a regular car.
Four firetrucks and assorted police just swarmed my block and they were NOT pleased that the emergency turned out to be my neighbors burning garbage in their yard
Listened to a couple of ✅️ BANGER italo disco albums by Pino D'Angiò. Lots of liquidy synth bass and frequent use if silly voices.
Favorite tracks:
TI REGALO DELLA MUSICA (1982)
- Hey, ciao..Tu..
...BALLA (1981)
- Signorina
- Donna in Construzione
Buckass naked Willem Defoe throwing tens of thousands of counterfeit bills in a fire because they're "tainted"
![Two sexy mimes? Circus strippers? Kabuki theatre?
Defoe's girlfriend is in a performance troupe of [whatever's going on here] and it's never explained, which is awesome](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kwzaokdebahpxtj7jpftyhhw/bafkreifbbzlej25axylw52r256p6wuhahibnaqlz2sqq4m7rk4fcu67iju)

A dirty cop putting pressure on an informant basked in strip club lobby lighting
A mustache cop driving through dusk sunset lighting before he gets killed
Watched TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA (1985) and it ✅️ STILL BANGS HARD.
Robby Müller with some of the most gorgeous cinematography I've ever seen, a surprisingly hard electronic score by Wang Chung, and Willem Defoe as a pretentious artist/counterfeiter/weird little freak.
Holy moly, that's rad!!
Vhs cover for Quackbusters. Daffy, Bugs, Porky, Sylvester and Tweety look out a window aghast as the shadow of a nosferatu descends upon them
The poster my great uncle Haishe had in his office from 1989 til he retired, remembering Mel Blanc. Several Looney Tunes stand with their head bowed as a spotlight illuminates a microphone stand all by itself, captioned SPEECHLESS
The concept of QUACKBUSTERS is kinda wild: a bunch of classic, supernatural-themed Looney Tunes shorts from the '40s-'60s, stitched together and remixed with two new shorts and a framing sequence about Daffy starting a Ghosbusting agency
Some of Mel Blanc's last voice work before his death.
Rented a copy of QUACKBUSTERS (1989) because something reminded me of the song "Monsters Lead Such Interesting Lives", sung by Daffy Duck with Mel Tormé's voice.
✅️ This sequence was such a BANGER, especially the recurring Human Fly bit

Driving west on 290 with flurries of snow falling on all the cars in my rearview, but none hitting my windshield or visible in front of me.
Thinking: I'm either slightly outrunning a stormcloud, and that's cool.... or I'm hallucinating, which would be concerning.
Some cool goths with black mohawks and white makeup staring straight I to your soul

(I love working with this fabric but I haven't for years because it's more expensive per yard than I can usually justify, and it needs a lot of steaming, but look how it catches light!)
