"This is a complete revamp of an alternative version of my 'Lucky Star' revision from 2013. Although I liked the groove, there was just not enough going on to make it work on its own, so I added sounds from the 'Burning Up' stems and just got creative as it's in a different key and tempo. The result is more like a new track than a basic mash-up. I love it and I hope you'll dig it too." — #TheReflex

"Roadrunner" (1976)
This LP came out the summer after my senior year in HS and was on absolutely no one's radar in Tinytown, North Carolina. But a friend, a young Vietnam vet/longhair who still wore his fatigue jacket, played the drums and smoked all the weed, loved the band to death and taught me to.
🎧 Listening to a #LennyKravitz playlist while I edit tonight's pictures. Mood: 🔥
"Are You Gonna Go My Way" (1993)
🎬 Mark Romanek directed the video.
🎧 RIP #JeanKnight — 1943-2023
In the summer of 1971, "Mr. Big Stuff" raced up the Top 40 and Soul charts, and was Billboard's #1 Soul Single that year. The record sold more than 2 million copies and was nominated for a Grammy.
"Mr. Big Stuff" was Knight's signature song, but she made many other soul and R&B records.

🎧 📺 THE WAR ON DISCO will air/stream Monday, October 30 at 9/8c on #PBS AMERICAN EXPERIENCE.
It's no secret that the backlash against Disco was racist and homophobic. People of Color and queer people came together to dance and have fun, in public, in a safe space, and the "Afraid Somebody Somewhere Might Be Having Fun" crowd hated us for it.

🎧 “Thursday 6th July, 1972, is said to be 'the day that invented the 80’s’ as so many musicians who went on to be household names saw the #DavidBowie performance of STARMAN on #TOTP and it changed their lives. Those watching that night included U2’s Bono, The Cure’s Robert Smith, Boy George, Adam Ant, Mick Jones of the Clash, Gary Kemp of Spandau Ballet, Morrissey and Johnny Marr of the Smiths, Siouxsie Sioux, Toyah Willcox..." etc.
🎧 Awake and grateful. Up at 4:30 and out to Circle K for coffee. A hundred pictures. Seems a trance now.

#Milwaukee | Yesterday, in the build-up to the GOP "debate" I thought about Milwaukee. About the time I visited my Uncle and Aunt in Waukesha in 1967, and Laverne & Shirley and Happy Days and Jeffrey Dahmer—finally The Violent Femmes and Trixie Mattel.
I did NOT know Ms. Trixie recorded "Blister in the Sun!" Well done :-)
That's the backstory to this post. 😂
I titled this picture "and the colour red" after the #Underworld track released last Spring. The clip footage is from their performance at Royal Albert Hall.

🎧 x 🎬 Forty years ago this month, "Eddie and the Cruisers" was one of my first freelance #PR gigs in Hollywood. Music-related marketing services—a new PR niche in the MTV-era.
The movie tanked and was yanked after a month, but when it was released on cable and home video, "On The Dark Side" got the respect it deserved.
#MichaelParé lip-syncs #JohnCafferty & #TheBeaverBrownBand's "On The Dark Side" in this scene.

I took a series of shots at the edge of a shuttered gas station.
Stood next to my car, door open and the FM played #TheHumanHeague.
The music makes the mood makes the pictures.
