Utterly cosmic… The week I finally get my hands on this CD, Joe Trohman is on Turned Out A Punk and mentions how his “friend Danny, who I haven’t talked to in years but I’d love to see him again, had a band called Danny & the Ketch-ups.” And, I am posting while between tutoring gigs in Kenilworth…

I can cross off one of the items on this list! I have the DANNY and The KETCH-UPS "Walkin' the Dog" CD in my possession. But I need *your* help. The main reason I wanted this album so badly is because of the song "Spoiled Rotten." Can you help me with the lyrics? (check next post or the YT link).

Though he doesn’t play on this track, DANNY and The KETCHUPS also featured Chris Cox on keyboards. You may know him as the inventor of the News Feed on Facebook.

On trumpet is the late Jaimie Branch. Jaimie and I were in class together a few years later. I remember we thought it was funny that her Brooklyn Brewery shirt had the same logo as my INDECISION shirt, which said Brooklyn Hardcore instead. (Yes, the band with NYC councilmember Justin Brannan).

So who are some of those members of this band? The drummer is Sean O’Keefe, who later produced FALL OUT BOY’s “Take This To Your Grave,” which eventually got them on to a major label and to be a household name.

Please let me know if you have any of these zines or recordings. We can work out a trade.

I have never said this about anyone before but I wish this guy would quit his job and go back to playing ska

For your enjoyment and perusal, here’s a whole thread of books, pictures, records, and thoughts about Amy Winehouse, who left Earth 15 years ago this past week.

Amy Winehouse died 15 years ago today. I watched 2021’s ‘Reclaiming Amy’ this week to learn more about her career, artistry, and life. This documentary is wonderful because it focuses on the people who knew her best and gives context to this “complex, incredible” person. Read 👇🏻

It’s the 22nd here and the 23rd across the pond, so might as well send this image out as a bridge between Ozzy’s and Amy’s death anniversaries.

We interrupt this week of AMY WINEHOUSE remembrance to bring you a solemn reminder of the death of OZZY OSBOURNE one year ago today. This copy of “Vol 4” was the best dollar I ever spent. (Yes that is @scottythered.bsky.social ‘s glam zine peeking out from under the cover.)

Shipping notice: any orders before 7 PM PST today will ship tomorrow morning. After that point, all shipping will be on hold until August 4th (when I return from a brief holiday, and the comic officially releases). So, if you are interested in an early copy… johnny-damm.square.site/product/-i-m...

In this blog post, I attempt to explain a theory of literacy that might explain these issues. (Actual article in next post.) Is it decoding? Interpretation? Social practices? Power analysis? Each role we take as readers may result in confusion when engaging in the social practice of reading.

Im annoyed with the literacy crisis because im finding that sometimes you can explain something to someone in heavy detail and provide them with reference material and all that will do is make them angrier because they cant comprehend what they were told or read what they were provided.

So this is a bit of a plea. If you fancy the sound of my two early self published books please check them out. Share them. Tell your friends. Buy a copy maybe? Review them? They’re 90s set dark comedies with an alt music backdrop and themes of mental health and recovery…
