Goth Talk

Sometimes when I travel and folks learn I currently hail from the Tampa Bay area, they point at me and announce with great enthusiasm, “Oh, oh - Goth Talk!”  And then there is a brief shared memory of the most obscure recurring SNL skit from the late 90′s.  Although many people wave a dismissive hand and declare that Goth Talk was merely a rip-off of Wayne’s World, I prefer to think of it this way: Wayne’s World was the prototype and proof of concept while Goth Talk was the polished, commercial product.  A niche product to be sure, but a well crafted niche product.

For those not familiar with this admittedly obscure bit of pop culture, Goth Talk was an SNL skit portraying a goth cable access show hosted by two high-school aged teens, Todd aka Azrael Abyss, the Prince of Sorrows (Chris Kattan), and Denise aka Circe Nightshade (Molly Shannon - looking really hot as a goth, btw), in Todd’s family’s garage.  Although the two are desperate to present themselves as living in a sinister and gothic world, they live in Tampa, Florida.  All that pesky sun, sand, and hockey - not exactly the stuff gothic dreams are made of - the real world of Tampa is constantly intruding upon their flimsily constructed dark world, to great hilarity.

My introduction to Goth Talk was totally random.  Brushing away the cobwebs in that corner of my memory brings me back to some small gathering of acquaintances in someone’s living room while the TV was tuned in to SNL for background noise, barely audible over our music.  Suddenly, everyone’s attention was grabbed by the TV faintly playing ‘Bella Lugosi’s Dead’ by Bauhaus - so incongruous an event that it demanded one’s attention, even if for only a momentary glance.  On the screen was presented the title card, in gothic font Goth Talk.  Conversation ceased and somehow our music faded and the TV volume increased.  

We sat transfixed by a skit that seemed to have been written specifically for us.  Sitting in bewildered amusement, we chuckled and smiled for the brief 6 minute skit.  This particular episode featured guest host Rob Lowe and a god-awful video he had shot in a park, but only part of it since volumes 1-3 had been taped over.  When the skit ended and reality started back up, there was a moment of silence from our little group, then one of the girls gave voice to the thought running through all our minds, “Did...did that really just happen?”

We instantly became die-hard SNL fans and religiously tuned in week after week awaiting the return of our new distraction, but it took quite a few weeks before our TV friends returned for another visit.  Only then did we catch the beginning of the skit with the Sunshine State Cable Access gag we hadn’t noticed the first time.  Jeff Goldblum was the guest on this segment, and this one was just as hilarious as the first.

Unfortunately, the segments were not a regular enough occurrence to keep us watching for them and I only finally saw the segments I’d missed while I was doing what passes for research on this little blog.  I’d seen the Sarah Michelle Gellar episode where they argue whether Tampa or Orlando is more sinister (spoiler - the answer is neither) and I’d seen the Christina Ricci one where Todd, excuse me, Azrael Abyss, the Prince of Sorrows, has a ‘living’ funeral.  However, I’d never seen the ones with Lucy Lawless, Steve Buscemi, or Charlize Theron until recently.  On the one hand, it’s sad that only 7 segments were made but on the other hand, it’s amazing that 7 segments were made considering the target audience is so tiny.  

Details of the sketch’s origin are, well, sketchy.  Apparently the idea was conceived by Chris Kattan, but it was left to SNL writer Dennis McNicholas to flesh it out into a full skit.  McNicholas being from Tampa, knew of the local goth scene and, appreciating the dichotomy of goths baking under the Florida sun, decided to set the skit in Tampa.  The rest, as they say, is History Channel.

One might think after watching all 7 Goth Talk segments, that Tampa must only have 4 or 5 goths in the whole city, but in an ironic twist, it actually has quite a few.  Difficult to lock down numbers for any nocturnal species, but you can get an idea of population at The Castle goth club in Tampa’s Ybor City neighborhood.  Friday and Saturday nights find The Castle filling with scores to hundreds of the darkly inclined.  All these goths in the same sunny Tampa Todd and Denise seemed so alone in?  Who’d have thunk it?

Will we be blessed (cursed) with a Goth Talk revival of some sort?  Hell, they made a Mary Katherine Gallagher movie, after all. Sadly, even within the deepest, darkest servers of the interwebs there is nary a whisper of a revisit to Todd’s parent’s garage, but one can always hope.  Perhaps a Super Bowl commercial?  Perhaps a skit on Jimmy Fallon?  A cheap one-of 6 page graphic novel?  The cards are silent for now, but one never knows what the next shuffle will reveal.  As I’m an incurable optimist, I like to think Azrael and Circe will visit us again.  I’ll keep an eye out for them at The Castle, just in case.

“So until next time, beware the daylight.”

Our Favorite Queer Books for Children

Many members of Duck Prints Press have young children, so we got to talking about what our favorite queer children’s stories are. These are all picture books - aimed at children under 8. This list doesn’t include any middle grade or young adult books.

Note that, regarding any individual book, we’re not saying, “this is flawless,” “this is perfect rep,” or “this is the right book for everyone/every situation/every family.” I’ve included a few notes about each book, to give a general idea of the representation it incorporates, but we always recommend that you read the full descriptions at the links provided (which are to Bookshop.org whenever possible), assess the book, borrow it from the library - basically, give it a read, and assess for yourself, and always pick with your own situation and sensibilities in mind when buying books for the young children in your life!

So I saw Wicked

Where: Apollo Victoria Theatre in London

Out of 10: 10!! (I’m kinda biase because it’s my fave musical oof)

Who I saw:

Elphie: Alice Fearn (I’m probably biased but I think she’s the best Elphie ever. Her voice is beautifully pointed and no other Elphie gets the same feel as her in my opinion, not even Idina)

Glinda: Sophie Evans (I saw her on a TV show and on a movie before. She is gorgeous and Definately looks the part of Shiz Glinda, but I’d say she’s kinda too young for older Glinda. She does a good job still)

Fiyero: Bradley Jayden (Smoking hot. Fiyero and Glinda are a hot couple. His voice is smooth as butter. I still kinda have a problem with the whitewashing of Fiyero but that’s another story)

Morrible: Melanie la Barrie (she is hilarious. The character never really appealed to me but she did a great job)

Wizard: Any Hockley (He was great as a bumbling old dude. Nothing breathtaking but he did good)

Dillamond: Martin Ball (the dude’s been doing this for like ten years! That’s crazy! He was clearly experienced as hell in the part)

Bick: Jack Lansbury (he’s adorable! I’d’ve had him if Glinda didn’t want him.)

Nessa: Sarah McNicholas (she is really stunning! I thought the part might’ve been a little too small as she felt like a big presence though)

I love Wicked with all my heart. It’s my favourite show ever and if it didn’t exist, I might not even care a dash about theatre. I hope it lives a long life.

Favourite song: No Good Deed

Problems?: I can’t actually think of any with this production. I can think of tiny little problems with Wicked as a script but the performance of it was faultless

Your Shot Series: Breaking Barriers

March is Women's History Month and to honor the women in our community and around the globe, Your Shot Associate Photo Editor, Kristen McNicholas, will be curating one image a day from the Your Shot community that celebrates women. Each day in March the photographs will be shared on the @natgeoyourshot Instagram account.

"Alison, mother of eight, breastfeeds her youngest daughter, Sarah, 2, at the kitchen table in their two-bedroom cabin on a commune in the redwood forest. Past a gate marked, ‘Private Property—Keep Out’, the Murphy family lives with no plumbing, indoor bathroom, heat or central air. While their close to off-grid living conditions make normal chores difficult at times, Alison still manages to keep her children homeschooled, playing games, fed, and integrated with outside activities," writes Your Shot Photographer Rachel Bujalski. Rachel brilliantly demonstrates a photographer's ability to build trust with a mother to document her life and the complexity of motherhood. This trust is crucial to making frames that best tell the story of a character in photographs.

The images I chose to feature this month celebrate female-identifying Your Shot photographers telling a visual story of empowerment, the freedom and flexibility of womanhood, photographers and their images #BreakingBarriers whether it's identifying women's issues in their images or a beautiful landscape or underwater image. — Your Shot Associate Photo Editor, Kristen McNicholas

The Potential of the PRO Act

“Nearly half (48%) of all nonunion workers surveyed say they would vote for a union if given the opportunity—a roughly 50% higher share than when a similar survey was taken 40 years earlier. ... If so many workers want union representation, why don’t they have it? The fact is that our current labor law—which is supposed to protect the right of workers in the private sector to organize—actually makes it very difficult for workers to win union representation. Workers face multiple hurdles when they try to organize and employers have too much leeway to interfere with workers’ free choice. Employers have many legal ways to intimidate and coerce workers, and when employers resort to illegal tactics such as firing workers for organizing, they incur no monetary penalties.”

“The Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act addresses many of the major shortcomings with our current law. Passing the PRO Act would help restore workers’ ability to organize with their co-workers and negotiate for better pay, benefits, and fairness on the job. Passing the PRO Act would also promote greater racial economic justice because unions and collective bargaining help shrink the Black–white wage gap and bring greater fairness to the workplace.”

Amazon’s Anti-Union Campaign and the PRO Act

“If Amazon’s efforts at union avoidance prove successful, the election will serve as the most recent example of employers thwarting workers’ efforts to organize a union. Regardless of the outcome of the election, the coercion, intimidation, and retaliation workers at Amazon’s Bessemer facility have endured reveal a broken union election system.”

“The Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act addresses many of the major shortcomings with our current law. Specifically, it would institute meaningful penalties for private-sector employers that coerce and intimidate workers seeking to unionize—as has been clearly documented in the Amazon organizing campaign in Bessemer. ... The workers at Amazon’s Bessemer fulfillment center have performed essential services during the pandemic. At the very least, policymakers owe them a union election system that is fair and free of employer coercion and intimidation.”

Economic Policy Institute, March 29, 2021: “Amazon’s anti-union campaign is part of a long history of employer opposition to organizing,” by Celine McNicholas

2. Song you’d blast from the top of a skyscraper?

fittingly it’s Defying Gravity which I’m pretty sure has been sung from the tops of buildings before on many occasions.

3. Song that never fails to make you cry?

Slipping Through My Fingers - it always makes my mother and I both cry. (It’s banned from the car.) Also, the Wicked finale, which varies from “a small handful of tears” to “embarrassing myself”.

5. If you were to make a your own production of your favorite musical with complete creative rights, what would you change?

Wicked’s gay now sorry don’t make the rules. And Fiyero has had some of his book personality restored, and he is black with the blue tattoos. We’re ditching the lift, Elphaba is flying on cables and a harness now, like in the Finnish production, so that she can keep moving more than just going up - not necessarily into the auditorium, but a bit more around the stage. Elphaba is also going to be a lot more reluctant to leave at the end - “We can never go back to Oz” is being cut.

But seriously, Elphaba and Galinda are going to be pretty heavily indicated to be in a relationship.

14. If you were to write a musical, which composer/writer would you like to team up with?

Either Kunze & Levay (see: Elisabeth) or Benny & Bjorn from ABBA (see: Chess & Kristina). Depends on the sort of musical I’m writing, probably.

31. Dream cast your favorite musical.

Is it cheating to say that the current and previous West End casts of Wicked suit me just fine? So either Willemijn Verkaik as Elphaba, Suzie Mathers as Glinda, and Oliver Savile as Fiyero, or Alice Fearn as Elphaba, Sophie Evans as Glinda, and Bradley Jaden as Fiyero (long hair and all).

However, getting more specific… I’d prefer Melanie la Barrie as Madame Morrible, Martin Ball as Doctor Dillamond, and Mark Curry as the Wizard. Then Daniel Hope and Idriss Kargbo were both great as Boq, and either Sarah McNicholas or Rosa O’Reilly as Nessarose - the Boq and Nessa really depend on how they play off each other and how they play off the rest of the cast.

Everything’s kicking off this February! Here’s a thank you gift : )

Logistical stuff/disclaimer: My former trading partner took two of these but was largely out of trading by then. I did all of the tracking, notes, and editing for them. There MIGHT be another copy of June 13, 2017, that exists, but these were all pretty much released by me. 

Wicked - London - June 12, 2017

Willemijn Verkaik (Elphaba), Suzie Mathers (Glinda), James Darch (u/s Fiyero), Sarah McNicholas (Nessarose), Idriss Kargbo (Boq), Sue Kelvin (Madame Morrible), Mark Curry (The Wizard), Martin Ball (Doctor Dillamond)

My Notes: A bit more of a run-of-the-mill performance considering it was the start of the week and you can kinda hear it. Suzie is on top form as well, but iirc she would call out the next day.

Notes: Rosa’s first performance with Willemijn. 

My Notes: NOW THIS. One of the best performances I’ve ever heard. It’s also a better quality audio. :) I’ll let you find out everything she does yourself but I absolutely FREAKED OUT when I first heard this. This is the stuff you hear at final performances. IIRC the review I got was that it almost seemed like she was ‘trying harder to pull some of Rosa’s weight’ which I don’t think/know to be true, but that was the opinion. The things she does are just mindblowing. And it was a Tuesday!!!!

Notes: Alice’s first performance with Sue and Sarah. My (frei-und-schwerelos’) master.

My Notes: Of course I jinxed myself and this had to be the first show that Wil would call out on when she came back, but it was still mega good. Alice is different, and that’s a really good thing. Her Elphie is simmering, more frustrated, drier, and not as awkward. Suzie’s act 2 also almost made me cry, she absolutely excels at Glinda’s anguish in Thank Goodness. Plus, she goes nuts during Popular.
