my dad would have liked this.

too cheesy and too 80s for me.

i bet their dads like it, though.

luge are weird enough to take note of in a list like this, but i'm not convinced that they're actually very compelling. it's more of an example of what happens when you're into being weird for the sake of being weird, and as a result end up both certifiably weird and overwhelmingly boring at the same time....

but, perhaps a more compelling criticism at this point is that it's actually more like it's Weird (tm), in the sense that it's actually not even that weird, but actually sort of cliched. i mean, this could have been released in 1982.

likewise, this was in ypsilanti, which is a suburb just outside of detroit city limits. i'd be planning an overnight,  clearly - and i'd at least need nicer weather for that.

so, i'm learning that there are interesting things happening around detroit still, it's just the downtown core that has gone to absolute boring bourgeois shit.

but, you'd think this would be a good match for trinosophes, if not for cliff's bells.

i wouldn't have gone out to hamtramck to see this on a rainy thursday night, knowing i'd get stuck overnight with nothing to do for hours, but it is the kind of punk i like, and would have gone if it was at the ufo factory or something.
