Cruisin'

Can someone please tell me when and why ducktails ever went out of style?

-"Cruisin'" by The Stray Cats, first released in 1990, rereleased in 1992 on the compilation Runaway Boys (1992)

Glass Hotel

A long, long day gave way to a long and fulfilling evening. The highlight was probably when Stephin Merritt's boyfriend told me he liked my saddle shoes. Or when I got back to my room and got to cocoon myself away from the rain.


I will have to talk about my love for Robyn Hitchcock another day, but here is a nightcap for you. If you're reading this, thank you.

-Robyn Hitchcock, "Glass Hotel," from Eye (1990)
