Happy Easter! Pictured: joyous, undisputed Ambassador of Mid-20th Century Americana Charles Phoenix. The annual Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender usually falls over the Easter weekend (but confusingly, not always! This year it’s 18 – 21 April). I’ve been attending off and on since 2007 and for years Phoenix’s riotous ultra-kitsch retro slideshows have been a highlight, so for me he’s synonymous with Easter. (For one thing, the effervescent Phoenix routinely took the stage wearing bunny ears). I’m going to Viva Las Vegas for the first time since 2019 in a few weeks and gutted that for the first time I can recall, Phoenix isn’t on the bill this year! What a colossal misjudgment! Let’s hope it’s an unfortunate blip.

not about the post i just reblogged but it reminded me of the post i saw while i was having my morning coffee on reddit. and many such other posts of people complaining that ts1 is apparently too hard and not cozy. that's the point. it's not meant to be cozy and you cannot expect a game that was made 25 years ago to conform to your expectations based on its sequels that have been heavily defanged (3 and 4 especially, but even 2)

1950s Peg Leg Bates Catskills Country Club Sign by Vinnie DeVille Via Flickr: Vintage image of a highway sign for the Peg Leg Bates Country Club in the Catskills Mountain Borscht Belt in Upstate New York. At the time this was the only black owned hotel for people of color in the Jewish Alps. From a different time - indeed. This found photograph is from the private collection of an unknown and/or unknowing art collector. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!

i’ve had an itch to make a video essay (?????) for like three months now (i have never made a video in my life). and if school wasn’t starting on monday i would literally take time to write and create one. i feel like id be good at it. i think id turn it into art.
