All I remember was trying to hide. I got really panicked when Tim Harrington announced, “This next song is dangerous.” In retrospect, I am unsure if the song prior Harrington was crowd surfing on a chair, lassoing the audience with his mic cable, or just generally tearing about terrorizing the fans, all in good fun of course, but terrorizing them nonetheless.

The Futurists
Psychocrystal
I love this. It appears (along with a number of other tunes) in the Galaxy Rangers episode, “The Battle of the Bandits.”
Rejected Signs
I was asked to design some signs with a “Spring Cleaning” theme for a record sale we are having at work. Several of the signs I did got rejected.
One of the librarians didn’t understand what this one had to do with Brahms. In all honesty, nothing. I just liked the idea of a man with a fez washing bird crap off his car.
Galaxy Rangers – “The Goose Clip”
Galaxy Rangers was a wild-west space cartoon that ran in the mid- to late-80s in the US. A US-created cartoon, its anime-styling, steampunk tendencies and gritty storylines make it one well worth checking out. The series is to get a nice repackaging this coming May1.
Now more in keeping with the usual bunk we post here on Protozoic, I give you the following clip from the “Heart of Tarkon” episode. Whatever is actually occurring here, it seems to me the writers missed a good joke of not having the incident occur to the character Shane Gooseman (the character to whom it happens in the clip is Walter “Doc” Hartford).
- Currently only 4 DVDs, containing 16 of the 65 total shows, are available. If you are really keen to get watching some Galaxy Rangers, you can get them from Netflix. ↩

Mr. Quintron and Miss Pussycat & The Black Lips – 3.14.08, Johnny Brenda’s, Philadelphia, PA
I’ve been a Quintron fan for a long time. While Quintron has always sounded great on albums, nothing compares to the live Quintron experience. Mr. Quintron’s self-constructed Drum Buddy1 and his operation of it while simultaneously playing the organ and percussion, was a feat unto itself to watch.
The crowd at Johnny Brenda’s unfortunately may not have felt so. Miss Pussycat would suggest as much, comparing Johnny Brenda’s to the Olive Garden. Mr. Quintron would end the set by saying, “I know I seem like an asshole, or a comedian, but I’m not. We love this, and we love that sound.”2 In the early 90s when Mr. Quintron first appeared on the scene, it might have been difficult to hear a similar statement as one that was sincere. Over a decade later, and with countless albums behind him, all exploring a similar swamp funk sonic, it is impossible not to believe the man or see him as anything but a visionary. While the fans may not have recognized this, Quintron played like a prophet, his sheer energy doing the impossible of upstaging The Black Lips performance.

As the ad implores, “Look.”
Advertisements
The following advertisements are from a Life Magazine that was withdrawn from the library. I don’t know what the exact issue is, because the front page was removed.
The individual ads appealed to me for different reasons.
I’m not saying why though.
I have some more ads I’ll be posting in the next couple days.
