30 Boing-Boing Posts That Are Clogging Up My Bloglines

I keep bookmarking things on Boing Boing but then I never get around to blogging them 'cause I figure, everybody that reads this blog, probably reads that one too, and EVERYBODY rips them off already. But it is an awesome site, and all of these posts are so cool that I had to collect them here.

"Ron's Place" Archive

"Ron's Place" was THE Punk Rock club in New Haven in the late 70's/early 80's. I saw alotta great local bands there (Hot Bodies, Saucers, October Days, The Fixations, The Snotz etc) as well as national acts including Human Switchboard, G.G. Allin and R.E.M, on a Tuesday night, back when all they had out was the "Radio Free Europe" single and Pete Buck was using my guitar as his had just been stolen. (Oddly enough, I just bumped into him the other day at my local record store)

Someone has put up a "Ron's Place" Archive page (no contact info or credits). There's flyers from a bunch of other local CT. punk/new wave clubs as well. Link.

The lead singer/songwriter of October Days was Blake Nelson who wrote Gus Van Sant's recent film "Paranoid Park"

I posted a set of Ron's Place flyers to my flickr page a while back...

Alvin Stardust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Moving to Mansfield, Nottinghamshire at a young age, he made his stage debut in pantomime at the age of four. In the early 1960s he became known as Shane Fenton, and with his backing group, The Fentones, had a handful of hits in the UK singles chart. His band based their sound on that of The Shadows. He also appeared in Billy Fury's movie, Play It Cool.

During the early 1970s, he became Alvin Stardust, as he tried to cash in on the Glam Rock bandwagon. His biggest hit was "My Coo-Ca-Choo" in 1973; and he had four other chart successes with the hits - "Jealous Mind", "You, You, You", "Red Dress" and "Good Love". In total, he amassed seven Top Ten entries, in a chart span lasting almost 25 years."

"The Music of Lennon & McCartney was a show about The Beatles' music. Starring John Lennon and Paul McCartney, they show us other artists that covered their songs, hear them in different languages, hear the lyrics straight into dialogue, and best of all, hear them (along with George Harrison and Ringo Starr) sing their greatest songs!"
