Mistress of Serpents... Vintage Photos of Snake Charmers

One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies was the music video shoot in Wayne’s World, the one where near-naked Tia Carrare plays guitar with a python writhing around her. I was a 12 year old crushing on a babe in 1992, but the “hot woman handling a large snake”...

One Chord Wonders... Looking Through The Adverts Eyes

I was late on The Adverts. They somehow got lost in my initial exploration of the 70’s punk era. Bad move. They existed in such a small window of time. They did all the regular punk rock stuff. They did Top of the Pops and Old Grey Whistle Test. They had chart success early on. Their members...

NSFW! BITCHCRAFT: Occult Themed 60s & 70s Men's Magazines

From the socially rigid pre-WWII era came the post war, free loving, society-rejecting era of the 1960s and 1970s, and the rise of Satanism as a part of popular culture saw the occult seeping into the mainstream. It only made sense that the smut mag industry would capitalize on a theme that was...

Slayer, Goths, Sleaze Bags, Metal Heads... Take a Journey Into The INTERNET K-HOLE

Why do I love the Internet K-Hole site so much? I love this site because it shows what it was like to grow up in the 70’s & 80’s before computers, tablets and smart phones ruled our lives! I love looking at all of the different tribes of youth culture that it reps, from from...

Arachnophobia... Living with 1,500 Pet Tarantulas

Since fear is an emotion that a lot of the music and art we cover here channels, this post seemed like something that would trigger the same level of unsettling, hair-raising terror that a The Body show does. Ming Cu is an Indonesian woman who breeds tarantulas for a living. As a result, she...

The Art of the Vintage Baseball Tee

One of my life’s passions is collecting band tees. A running joke in my family is that our legacy to our children will be vinyl, posters and t-shirts; and we don’t care how broke they are when we die, they better not sell them. In my vast collection, I have a few vintage tees, but...
