From my conversations with the kids who run the register at my local pharmacy (years of living a rock ‘n’ roll tour lifestyle to catch up with you), this is more than a fashion trend. Lyrics matter.

There may just be some salvation in punk rock

It’s often hard to see any hope in the current shit show.

But, over the last few months I’ve noticed trend (at least in my part of Westchester, NY).

15 to 20-year-olds are sporting infamous Milo descendants shirts.

#memorialday

How does an AV / Event Staging company kick off a long weekend after weeks of back-to-back shows?

By kicking it out with Grilling, Karaoke, and a live jam session.

Evidently it is international Goth Day

While any pictures be of me in my 20s were ‘disposed of’ by an ex, I do revisit it from time to time

My kids, boys, 18 and 20, have no interest in the look -yet I have a closet full of clothes

It would appear that after our NV 1 van’s last delivery, it turned straight edge

(actually this was to warn us that the van was full to the doors and not to open both at once (beware intend that may have shifted!))

It’s a week of dive bar T-Shirts for me,
(Wife got me the gift of these for a year- new one every month. I love dive bars)

Today- Bob & Barbara’s Lounge - shirt is replete with the infamous Shure SM-55 (Aka Elvis /Rockabilly mic). It’s also really soft and fits well.

Today we have 4 big shows going out (busy season in the Event Staging biz)

Shirt today is from my company’s annual Pirate University - where we provide three days of free training in audio, video, lighting, and networking to students and entry level techs.

All are welcome

Today’s Band Shirt (adjacent )

Good Morn gentle Blue-Skylers

On my 3rd cuppa coffee and listening to the latest episode of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Manifesto.

Today’s shirt is a limited run by a friend - in response to the repug claim that NYC is pure anarchy

The film, the soundtrack truly changed my outlook after catching it on a late nite HBO in 1981/82

Lene Lovich ~ No Man’s Land

This album predates her Famous hit ‘Lucky Number’.

While the songs have elements of her later, more avant its mellower /more pop-centric.

Lush, sensual and sentimental. The tone fits the grey drizzly day here in Westchester NY.

Gooooooood Morning
Listening to KEXP & shipping out shows

My shirt reads ‘HD BaseT expert’
While I have not installed custom home theater or whole home automation in years - I still work on smaller systems ( on occasion)

But, AL used to buy records from Leo Mintz’s Record Rendezvous- telling AL the kids would be rocking in a Rolling in the aisles to the songs he played in the shop

(it is very likely that LM heard the term from a Trixie Brown song)

TuckerTues @tuckertues.bsky.social · May 14

Rock Concert ~ Marc Myers

Some further insight into the origins of the term Rock n’ Roll.

We have all heard that Alan Freed used the term in his Cleveland based ‘Moondog’ show quite liberally. (Then used it as part of his NYC based WINS show)

Album Of The Day

AOD (Redux)
Les Rita Mitsouko

French pop duo blending traditional sounds with classic 80s synth, brilliant vocal cycles, and clever, poignant lyrics.

Far too many alt-pop and '90s dance tracks owe a debt to this duo.
