Grotto of Miracles on Viva Radio - Saturday @ Noon




GoM slipped a playlist to Dave R. for his Deadheat Radio Program this week. It "airs" tomorrow @ noon (EST) on Viva Radio, then gets the archive treatment so you can listen (or relisten) whenever you like.

Noon is still a little early, at least for me, on a Saturday. So in aniticipation of my hazy, lazy state of mind here's a slightly shaky, somewhat spacey and kinda mellow set to help calm brittle nerves and speed you toward a full recovery.

You Gotta Live Until You're Dead. You Gotta Rock 'Til You See Red

LUX INTERIOR (1948 - 2009)


Official Statement (from Girlie Action)
For Immediate Release: February 4, 2009

Lux Interior, lead singer of The Cramps, passed away this morning due to an existing heart condition at Glendale Memorial Hospital in Glendale, California at 4:30 AM PST today. Lux has been an inspiration and influence to millions of artists and fans around the world. He and wife Poison Ivy’s contributions with The Cramps have had an immeasurable impact on modern music.

The Cramps emerged from the original New York punk scene of CBGB and Max’s Kansas City, with a singular sound and iconography. Their distinct take on rockabilly and surf along with their midnight movie imagery reminded us all just how exciting, dangerous, vital and sexy rock and roll should be and has spawned entire subcultures. Lux was a fearless frontman who transformed every stage he stepped on into a place of passion, abandon, and true freedom. He is a rare icon who will be missed dearly.

The family requests that you respect their privacy during this difficult time.
