Divine or not, a seizure's a seizure.

Came back to check out and see who’s still rummaging around Tumblr.  Here’s an old song performed live, stripped down, like they used to do back when this sort of thing still happened.

-F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Dream pop lives.

Jesus, Billy Corgan is 50.  This is what it sounds like.

New St. Vincent is brilliant.  This a torch song worthy of Waits.

The place where I fit.

And PS:  As a religious person, I hate when they mix God up in their nonsense.

Adlai Stevenson.  Speech to the American Legion convention, New York City (27 August 1952); as quoted in "Democratic Candidate Adlai Stevenson Defines the Nature of Patriotism" in Lend Me Your Ears : Great Speeches In History (2004) by William Safire, p. 79 - 80

This is dark stuff, surely.   I almost didn’t share it.  But I can count the people who might read this on one hand, as most of my (hundreds of) followers are bots.

The Beastie Boys live on the Joan Rivers Show, 1987:  Here’s proof that Mike D holds his liquor much better than MCA or Ad-rock.  Joan Rivers, to her credit, was just an uncivilized as them, though unlike the boys, she didn’t bring her own strippers.
