#1950s punk

“Rockabilly bombshell Sparkle Moore was born Barbara Morgan in Omaha in 1939. The quintessential bad girl, she dressed in leather (and often in men's clothes), with her short blonde hair greased back in an Elvis Presley-styled pompadour. Dubbed "Sparkle" in honour of a supporting character in the Dick Tracy comic strip, she signed to the Cincinnati-based Fraternity label to issue her debut single, the hiccupping "Rock-a-Bop," in late 1956, and though still just 17 years old she toured the US in support of the record, even opening for Gene Vincent at the peak of his fame. (A planned appearance on radio's Grand Ol' Opry was cancelled due to a bout with laryngitis, however.) The sultry yet sinister "Killer" followed in 1957, but soon after Moore learned she was pregnant and abruptly quit performing to focus on raising a family. No subsequent recordings are known to exist, although an unreleased Fraternity ballad called "Flower of My Heart" subsequently appeared on several compilations, most notable among them 2004's Good Girls Gone Bad: Weird, Wild & Wanted, the first to assemble her complete recorded output in one disc (including a handful of alternate takes).”

Happy 84th birthday to enigmatic platinum blonde rockabilly icon - and perennial Lobotomy Room favourite - Sparkle Moore (born 6 November 1939)! Now sing along with me: “You should be labelled with a skull and a-crossbones / You're a jinx to my soul, oh yeah …”

“I saw Elvis for the first time on Ed Sullivan, when they wouldn't show him from the waist down. When I first saw Elvis, it did change my life. If you look at those early films, he was like an alien – you can’t imagine in the fifties how horrifying he was to people. People have this idea now that the fifties must have been great, like Happy Days. It was horrible – everybody had to be like everybody else. It was the most conformist – that’s why rock’n’roll happened: this explosion of rebellion, which certainly did influence me heavily. My parents were uptight – all parents were uptight about rock’n’roll, that’s why it worked! All music should get on your parents’ nerves, even now if you have very cool parents. Whatever the next music is gonna be, they should hate, or it doesn't work.”

/ From my 2010 interview with John Waters in Nude magazine /

Happy 89th birthday to the King, Elvis Presley (8 January 1935 – 16 August 1977).

Hello! My name is Freddy. I was born in Denver but currently reside in Louisville, Colorado.

I am quite eclectic. I post vintage things, spooky shit, horror, western, rockabilly, punk, goth, and many other alt stuff. I also might post photography and nature or just aesthetic things.

Details about me:

I am straight edge

I clean carpets and sweep chimneys (I'm serious, this is not code or a euphenism for sex 😂)

I like shitboxes and hot rods. I try to work on them with varying success

I play guitar and used to play upright bass (amateur)

I collect vintage menswear

I used Tumblr a lot until I was about 20. I took a long hiatus but now I am back. Things have changed! Glad some mutuals are still around here. Unfortunately, there are a lot of deactivated blogs that are lost to time.

I got off almost all other social media because I felt like it was a lot of bullshit. It wasn't good for my mental health. Therefore, any friends, groups, and circles I interacted with have dried up. I am looking for community and connections again.

Message me or ask me things. I'm very open to it. If you're a mutual, don't be afraid to reach out!

Here is my cat, Dean Martin .
