I've got several posts in the works that I'm really excited about -- one about a lost hardcore punk record shop in the East Village circa 1987, a couple of other photo quizzes (notably one about a King Crimson gig in Central Park in 1974), and a long-coming rumination about songs of the summer, but who knows if I'll get to that one in time.
In any case, I had grand designs of bringing one or more of those to fruition this evening, but it just didn't happen. It's too hot, I guess.
In the short term, however, I was going to post an enjoyably skewed slice of Lower East Side skronk circa 1989, namely "Lydia's Black Lung" from the great Alice Donut, taken from their excellently-named LP, Bucketfulls of Sickness and Horror in an Otherwise Meaningless Life. I'm still waiting to see their movie.
But because life is shitty, the ability to embed the video for "Lydia's Black Lung" has been "disabled by request," which is lame. Click here to watch it. Not only is it an outstanding `choon, but it features lots of grainy, gritty and grimey footage of the NYC of the era. Cranketh accordingly.
