This dog I'm watching is named Louie, but "Gooey" and "Goo' are also common nicknames I call him so it probably goes without saying that every now and then I'll sing a snippet of Goo Goo Muck by The Cramps for him.

Finally got around and fixed the new-ish #Mastodon author attribution on wetphoto as well. Admittedly, it's a bit on the heavy side of my regular ego stroking - as if anybody other than me would repost links to my gig ramblings.
Oh well

The Cramps infamously also decided to build on Johnny Cash's recording of performances at prisons by playing the Napa Valley Mental Hospital in 1978. Mental Hospitals were still pretty rough back then, but this is clearly a welcome bit of fun and liveliness for the patients, as they dance and even join onstage, and Lux and Ivy seem to be having a blast with them all. I think things like this endeared them to outsiders, weirdos, and folks living with mental illnesses like myself.

Thing is, Lux and Ivy were brilliant and unapologetically transgressive, while also deeply loving art. One of my favorite examples of this is one of the only songs I know about a Dada/Cubist painting. "Naked Girl Falling Down the Stairs" is about encountering Marcel Duchamp's "Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nude_Descending_a_Staircase,_No._2) in a museum. The music video also highlights once more Lux's amazing ability to perform in stiletto heels and a latex jumpsuit:

Artist: The Cramps
Where to start?
My first encounter with the Cramps was the music video for "Garbageman." While this is a cover, it was an invitation into music that coins the idea of "punkabilly" and if Lux's extreme vocals and Ivy's groundbreaking guitar don't put a spell on you, I don't know what will.

"Ultratwist" will give you a taste of how they developed their style and sound with one of their later ablums. It also features all the wonderful campy horror vibes in the music video that define their aesthetic.

Artist: The Cramps (Lux Interior, he/him; Poison Ivy, she/her)
Why?
For Halloween, I decided to do something a bit different. The artists today never identified as trans as far as I know, but were so campy in queering gender and aggressively gender non-conforming that they embody the wider meaning of transgressing the gender binary.
Today, I am going to give you a crash course in THE CRAMPS!
The lead singer, Lux Interior (he/him), and lead guitar, Poison Ivy (she/her), fell in love over their shared passion as record collectors of classic blues and rock-n-roll, as well as a love for B-movie horror films. This led them to get married and form a band that basically created the genre of "psychobilly," also cementing other subgenres like "punkabilly." I think it's also fair to credit them with inspiring the aesthetics of later goth and emo scenes, as well.
I saw this guy when I visited Graceland in Memphis. He let me take his photo. I swear it’s Kim Nekroman from the Nekromantix #graceland #nekromantix #psychobilly #punk #rockandroll #steptoeedwall #nikonD200
It seems there a thing going on here on Mastodon: folk are sharing hashtags of what makes 'em tick in order find like-minded weirdos. Here I go. Stand back...
