Can't quite get this song outta my head today... Pere Ubu, from The Modern Dance, 1978.

Rumors had gone around Cleveland at the time that due to strange atmospheric patterns, fallout from Chinese H-Bomb tests was coming down specifically on that city.

South Brooklyn, NYC, is bright yellow/orange today. Berit took this from the subway platform on their way to work:

And as they were doing so I was in the building at right looking at a window:

Hoping the smoke passes soon...

The Modern Dance - Pere Ubu

Pere Ubu's first album is a fantastic and kinda weird post punk album. The song Laughing has what I believe is one of the most American lyrics to a song, "if the devil comes, we'll shoot him with a gun." My favorite song is Modern Dance.

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu: why you need it in your collection | Louder

Truly a brilliant album. I count myself fortunate to have seen them a few times back around the Dub Housing era. This never got far from the turntable back in the day.

My children. My screams. I could not save you, little ones. Such pain. And yet, still, still I am not brave enough to die, to let go of this wretched life. I will endure, but no more babies. I cannot, will not, suffer such heartbreak again. From now on, it's me against the world.

Not gonna lie I actually love the idea of big Brother Nezha!

Big brother Nezha your honor✨

While Tav and Karlach are being dipshits at karaoke, Wyll and Lae'zel absolutely CRUSH it at Dance Rush at the arcade in the same center (I think the two of them would absolutely kill it at rhythm games - Wyll has more flourish and flow but Lae'zel has laser precision.)
