Happy Birthday Long Gone John!

This week contained a load of election gloom. One way to beat it is by spinning one of the records that came out on the great Sympathy for the Record Industry label, headed by Birthday boy, Long Gone John Mermis! (November 13, to be exact.)

Long Gone was one of the first indie imprint moguls that offered New Bomb Turks a hoot, and he ended up releasing three 7" singles and included us on everyone's favorite trashy Xmas compilation, Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus (1993).

It was an honor to be on a label that has released a mountain of wild, weird, wacky, and wonderful trash-rock since 1988, and sorta kinda still does sometimes...

I did a lengthy interview with Long Gone in my book, We Never Learn, as his import to the 1990s underground R'n'R milieu cannot be overstated. But I recently stumbled on this quickie article I did about him for the April, 2007 issue of CMJ New Music Monthly, when John was on the precipice of finally moving out of his beloved L.A., back in 2007.

I was Associate Editor at CMJ (College Music Journal) at the time, and this was for the monthly mag we were still producing. Since the whole company went kaput in 2017 and the website disappeared, you'll have to scroll down to page 9 here to see the story. But it's also kinda interesting to see what was going on in the indie world around then while scrolling through the whole issue. (My 2006 Best Of list is in there somewhere…).

Happy Birthday, Long Gone, and thanks!!

DEATHROCK IN THE EARLY '60s? PROTO-DEATHPUNK? HORROR PUNK? PROTO-MONSTER KIDS?

When the SCREAMING LORD SUTCH [AND THE SAVAGES] underground music scene of the early '60s hits you too hard -- this is what happens. Tastefully spooky stuff indeed!

He's so ❤️

The images following are two stills taken directly before, of Mercutio loafing and puffing his shiny throat pouch happily. [End ID]

I love the idea of Cale getting flirted with and it just absolutely flying over his head. Regardless of whether he's aroace, aro, ace or neither, at his core Cale is OBLIVIOUS to how people view him.

It gets even better if his protective family knows EXACTLY what's going on, and are determined to keep everyone away.

Some visiting noble at a gala spends a few hours chatting him up, and the whole time, Cale thinks they're just trying to use him to get to his friends. Either by making a good impression by being friendly, or he's trying to manipulate Cale into giving away secrets. Jokes on him, Cale would never reveal their secrets and plans so easily, and definitely not for free! Meanwhile, Choi Han, Alberu and Eruhaben are just glaring this man down, and keep interrupting their conversation when they can. Alberu makes sure he isn't invited back.

Some lady tries to trap Cale in a scandal but Roslyn just pops up and demands to know how she could ever even think the Young Master wants her when Roslyn is right there. Cale of course thinks this means the young lady is trying to replace Roslyn as Owner of the Magic Tower, and sends her off before she can get another word in. He worked way too hard to get Roslyn her tower and position, no way is he going to let some random person steal it. The next day rumours float around that Cale will only consider eligible young ladies who are extremely proficient in magic. The Roan Kingdom's number of mages grows exponentially in a few months.

As Cale grows older, more people approach him expressing a desire to "have his children". The first time Cale hears this, he grabs Raon, On and Hong and books it out of there before these kidnappers can make their move. How prepared were they to take the kids if they had the guts to tell him to his face?! The kids aren't allowed out of sight for a week, and enjoy the extra pampering, even as the others hunt down anyone who might consider blatantly propositioning Cale.

Cale gets tired of people approaching him with their weird questions and asks Raon to keep a permanent shield around him so that no one can get too close unless allowed. To the public and many of his family, however, this just looks like Cale is so worried and stressed that he's had to keep his shield up just to have some peace. The people band together to defend their hero, and soon no one approaches Cale unless he approaches them first. Children are given a free pass, but anyone else who tries is quickly intercepted by random passerbys. Cale believes people are nervous, intimidated, or have finally stopped considering him to be a major hero.

One would think he'd have learnt his lesson by now but no, this man just cannot stop raising flags for himself left and right.
