Recently watched: strange and obscure neo-noir Union City (1980). Tagline: “In 1953, Russia exploded the H-bomb. Hollywood discovered Marilyn Monroe. Washington reeled under McCarthyism. While something was about to happen in … Union City!” The sole feature film directed by Mark Reichert, Union City has a bad reputation (when it’s remembered at all) but it’s of interest – especially for admirers of the band Blondie: Deborah Harry stars and Chris Stein composed the soundtrack. Having said that, I can imagine Blondie fans feeling nonplussed by Reichert’s deliberately unglamorous presentation. When we’re first introduced to Harry as frustrated housewife Lilian, she is filmed from behind, with brown hair and wearing an apron, frying pork chops and sauerkraut. Of course, she’s not truly “mousey” – it IS Harry, after all. And Lilian gets a lingerie-clad boudoir scene later and towards the end, bleaches her hair blonde. Anyway, Union City is adapted from the 1937 Cornell Woolrich short story “The Corpse Next Door”. (The action is updated here to the early fifties. The period costumes and décor have an interesting R W Fassbinder vibe). Synopsis: neurotic businessman Harlan (Dennis Lipscomb) becomes fixated on uncovering who is stealing the milk bottles from outside his front door early every morning, thus ignoring the womanly needs of wife Lilian, who begins an affair with their apartment building’s hunky superintendent Larry Longacre (heartbreakingly handsome young Everett McGill aka "Big" Ed Hurley on Twin Peaks). Union City unfolds in an alienated, deadpan way, sharing the same underground New York sensibility as the cinema of, say, Scott and Beth B. Everyone delivers their lines in a detached, benumbed manner, except for the panic-stricken Harlan and Irina Maleeva as deranged neighbour The Contessa, whose bizarre delivery is operatic. Interestingly, 1980s rock diva Pat Benatar (who was frequently dismissed in some quarters as an ersatz Deborah Harry) crops up in a small role and is surprisingly effective (in her close-ups, Benatar possesses an almost Shelley Duvall quality). Union City is weird. Claustrophobic. Alienating. Arty. All qualities I happen to like! Union City is on YouTube.

"...ALL TOPPED WITH THE MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH CREAM-BITCH CROON OF DEBBIE HARRY."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Debbie Harry in the now iconic zebra print dress, first published in "CREEM" magazine, c. 1976, later repurposed for cover art to the UK's "ZigZag" magazine for their February/March 1978 issue. 📸: Chris Stein.

"So suddenly it’s in to have fun. The very same self-styled prophets who fell over their spanking new bondage strides last year to tell the world that Dole Queue Rock was the only Music for Today are now coughing with a sideward glance and proclaiming Power Pop is The Sound of ’78, conveniently forgetting that they were among the miserable bunch slagging off the prime purveyors of Power Pop, Blondie, on their debut UK tour last spring."

-- "ZIG ZAG" Magazine, "Plastic Love: A Day with BLONDIE," c. February 1978

From ‘Underground Railroad’ Quilt Weaves Black Liberation History:

The African American Quilt Circle of San Antonio is preserving personal, political, and historical narratives through the ancestral practice of quiltmaking.

“There’s a determination not to tell the true history, because no one wants to admit to the evilness of the people we celebrate as heroes,” said Deborah Moore Harris, the president of the quilt circle. The group’s latest body of work is currently on view at the Carver Community Cultural Center Gallery through December 16.

Moore Harris is an artist, retired Army veteran and one of the quilt circle’s four founding members. She works part-time at a craft store. About 20 years ago, she decided to make her first quilt after watching an episode of The Carol Duvall Show, an arts and crafts program that ran on HGTV from 1994 through the early 2000s. The quilt was a gift for her mother and  stitched together the genealogical details of her ancestral tree.

“It is definitely not straight, but it is colorful and tells the story of my family.”
