Here is a clutch of seemingly random photos that have been languishing on my desktop, mostly for no readily apparent reason.....
Cait O'Riordan of the Pogues. No idea who took it. Cait was invariably the coolest member of the band.
A still from Scorsese's "Mean Streets." I walk this strip whenever I head to the office. It's no longer this grotty.
A shot of the Strokes, although I have no clue who took it. I was fleetingly inspired to write another post about the band, based on their actually not-bad, new material, but lost interest, probably because of this picture. I mean, really...
Another shot of long-gone First Avenue favorite, Downtown Beirut. Renowned for their stellar jukebox. Note the unfinished Missing Foundation insignia near the door.
Another age-old Rock Hotel flyer. I set this to one side not because I ever cared about Cycle Sluts from Hell (I didn't), but because the venue in question is Downtown, the spot on Bond Street I spent some time researching some years back.
A great action shot of Tod and Natz from my beloved Cop Shoot Cop. No idea where this picture was taken, when or who took it.
Snapped by one David Vega in 1985, here's an amazing shot of the since-razed corner of St. Marks Place at Third Avenue, replete with also since-vanished Gringo mural.
Spotted this on Instagram. This is someone's shower curtain. I approve.
A lovely family portrait of the Sex Pistols after their fabled, final performance at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. No idea who took it.
A outtake from Pennie Smith sessions for the cover of Sandinista! by The Clash.
...and there you have it.
