This photo that came up in today’s Memories is from when the Hollywood, California band that I was in, The Loafin' Hyenas, played our first club gig at Raji’s, the epicenter of Hollywood underground bands at the time. I think this was 1988. At that point the band consisted of myself on vocals, former Cramps guitarist Click Mort, a wild cajun gal from Beaumont named Dionne Sparks (now Neva Trejo) on fiddle, & the former rhythm section from the band Blood on the Saddle, Ron Botelho on bass & Hermann Senac on drums. This is the lineup that recorded our first single “Scatter” (about Elvis’ chimpanzee) b/w “Move It!” (a reworking of one of my earlier songs from Tex & the Saddletramps days) that was one of the early releases from Long Gone John’s Sympathy For The Record Industry label (SFTRI 008).

And what a night it was. I don’t remember much from our performance, but I do remember who was there in the audience that night. In the second photo just to the left of the speaker cabinet (& darkly in the first photo) you can see original Gun Club bassist Rob "Graves" Ritter in sunglasses (yes, after dark AND indoors) sitting on the floor with his friend Tim Farris from the band Celebrity Skin. Rob was our favorite & the first bass player Click & I recruited for The Loafin' Hyenas & he jammed with us once when we were in the early stages of writing songs & putting the band together. But Rob was too busy at the time playing reunion gigs with 45 Grave & soon joining the band Thelonious Monster, to have enough time to devote to our project. He did return toward the end of The Loafin' Hyenas & contributed some beautiful bass lines to our only album, THE LOAFIN’ HYENAS on Patrick Mathè’s New Rose label out of France.

Also that night Click had invited his old bosses from The Cramps, Lux Interior & Poison Ivy Rorschach, who surprisingly showed up & crowded into the stuffy basement room at Raji’s where the bands played. I remember Lux pointing out in conversation afterwards in his humorous goofy manner, “Hey, we’re both lead singers with three letter names that end in ‘x’  Lux & Tex!”. I had invited Chip Kinman from Rank and File, a band that I admired & had opened shows for a couple of times back in Dallas at The Hot Klub, who also showed up.

The third photo is my still sweetie Karen Kritter & I in one of Raji’s booths. The final image is a flyer by Click Mort. Don't remember if this was the same night. But it would make sense since Lux produced the first Mad Daddy's LP...

Dc x dp idea: kill yourself

Listen, I firmly believe that Danny and any of the bats would flirt like fucked up little animals, disgusting little creatures.

I’m using Damian as an example because take a wild guess based on literally fucking anything I’ve ever posted on who my favourite is.

Danny, if ghosted for long enough, would probably just say kill yourself, not as in ‘go die whore’ but ‘let’s be immortalised together forever’. Even better if it’s ghost queen or king or whatever Danny because he’s basically just offering a green card to the afterlife and that funny as fuck.

And Damian would bring him skulls and poisonous mushrooms and keep several tabs on his location at all times and points because he is his mother’s son after all. He’d kill Freakshow or something and put a bunch of flowers into his hollowed out bones for decoration and hand it to him because love.

This doesn’t even have to be dc x dp, I just firmly believe that literally any of the characters from Batman or Danny Phantom would flirt like serial killers.

something morbidly funny about crozier leaving behind excess food supplies for the mutineers in ep 9 and then later burying jfj instead of eating him only for the mutineers to find (and presumably eat) him anyway. "i will not take away any chance for them to survive." <<should not have said this where the camera could hear you

#the terror #genuinely something really interesting going on with ''as an offering'' vs ''hide him in the landscape'' #especially since /fitzjames/ meant to leave himself as an offering #but also. the jfj grave robbing event of 1848 will always be funny to me unfortunately

One thing about Dr. Daniel Cain is that he’s gonna be positively shit at his job

#That’s not how you do fucking cpr #How the fuck are you off midline at a point where he is presumed to be revered by his colleagues #What the fuck do you mean you got emotionally attached to your patient how do you even have the fucking time #All we see Dan’s patients do is fucking die #we don’t even get to see a close case no if you’re assigned Dan just write your fucking will now #The again a conventionally attractive friendly white guy getting way too much praise for a job he isn’t good at seems par for the course #I’m just saying say what you want about Herbert West but the man is a professional #Realistically with his perfectionism and god complex he probably will not afford himself the ability to not be a good doctor #Like neither is exactly a good choice since I’ll probably be graverobbed if things go south #But my chances of being in a grave to be robbed would increase greatly with Dan #reanimator #dan cain #herbert west #bride of reanimator #dan Cain Please get better at your job lives are at stake

So back when I was much younger and much newer, I took a class at UChicago on ancient Egypt. This was so exciting for me, especially because UChicago has an extensive collection of artifacts from the ancient Near East -- which meant that we got to learn using actual artifacts.

It wasn’t that unusual for us to be sent off to the Oriental Institute to translate something as homework, and one of the things I remember vividly was this (partially restored) fragment of a tomb wall.

In ancient Egypt, names were important, and so was memory. The continued existence of the soul was associated with the continued existence and memory of a person’s name, which is one reason why we have all of these beautiful carved monuments to this day. They wanted to write their names down. They wanted to be remembered. They knew that they could live forever as long as they lived in one person’s memory.

But tombs are expensive. They take a lot of time, a lot of resources, a lot of work. It’s a lot easier to just scratch out one person’s name and replace it with your own. A lot of memorials were repurposed in this way, sometimes because they were actively trying to erase one person’s memory and sometimes simply in an effort to maintain their own. So there was a very real anxiety about tomb desecration and name erasure that comes up again and again and again.

That was what we’d learned about in class that day, but I didn’t know why this wall fragment was our homework until I finished translating it.

I remember sitting there, huddled over my notebook as I crouched on the floor of the OI, sixteen years old and just beginning to learn the world. I remember painstakingly copying the inscription and then translating it to the best of my ability. And then I remember giggling as quietly as I could, not wanting to bother the other guests, when I realized it basically said, “HAHA, I MADE IT SO YOU CAN’T ERASE THIS.”

You see, he’d invented a technique that involved filling the carvings with a certain kind of colored paste. It was very, very difficult to completely remove -- and he was right. No one had managed to do it.

I remember sitting there on the floor and laughing and thinking to myself that humans don’t change, not really. We don’t ever, ever change. Our beliefs might and our goals might, but people? Our souls can traverse millennia.

Because over four thousand years had passed but I still felt this odd connection to a man whose pride in his own ingenuity had made me laugh. 

This all happened around fifteen years ago and I no longer remember how to read this wall. But you know what I do remember? His name.

I remember you, Nefermaat.

#I FOUND HIM #I found a site that talked about this exact wall fragment #so I decided to turn it into a post and share it with you #so you can remember him too #and his wife Itet at that #I ended up switching majors because I realized that I had ethical concerns with the discipline #and I felt complicit in things like imperialism and grave robbing #but I still remember this guy :) #ancient egypt

Digging up and robbing the grave of Lambert's mother might not have been the most romantic thing Aiden has ever done with his wolf, but it definitely made it's way into his top 5 when Lambert got on one knee and proposed to Aiden with a slightly muddy ring.
