OPEN POST: Oasis Actually Made it to the Stage!

Image
Source: Angus Jenner Well I'll be damned, they actually performed together. After a 16-year hiatus, Oasis took to the stage in Cardiff, Wales, yesterday to perform many of their old classics to a cheering crowd. When they originally announced their plans for a tour back in August 2024, many were rightfully dubious as to whether this would actually materialize. Liam Gallagher jokingly asked fans if it was worth the £40,000 they spent to see the band play. The Gallagher brothers ended the show with their fan favourite song, Champagne Supernova , and embraced each other in a warm hug. Awww! Do you think they will make it through all 41 scheduled shows?

It's like totally muggy today, so after school lets out, let's hit the beach. I'm driving! You girls can flirt with the shirtless boys on the beach while me and Chad disappear for a while in the shrubbery to, uh, spelunk. Hey, it's 1972 and this is the #1 song in the country, so let's have a blast ALL SUMMER LONG!

It's hard to believe we've been debauching here in the Manor for two whole years now! You're all cordially invited to the parlour for some cake and sing-a-longs. The live entertainment arrives at 9!

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Fabulously Fierce Barbara Dane!

Image
Greetings, favored whores, and welcome to another kicky edition of Music Manor Monday, today with extra social protest 'n such. What do I mean by that? Find out tonight at the Manor's "Sloppy Sausage" after hours club. There, DJ Li'l Scratch will be playing tunes by one of the best white blues singers ever. No, for reals. She was a genuine blues and jazz legend whose abilities are as "rare as a 20 karat diamond," according to no less that Louis Armstrong. Jazz critic Leonard Feather called her “Bessie Smith in stereo.”  In other words, Barbara Dane is the real deal. A fervent fighter for social justice - when that meant more than tickling a keyboard - Barbara's career took off when she moved to San Francisco in the late 1940s. There, she caught the eyes (and ears) of blues devotees all 'round town. Even Ebony , in what was said to be the magazine’s first profile of a white woman, was impressed by both her music and her no-holds barred advocacy f...

OPEN POST: These Things!

Tired of your feline overlord using your legs as a clawing post? Too bad! You have a cat and you're fucked! But not totally - lucky for you there's this shit! I don't know what you call it, but if your legs are looking like they belong to a used-up dummy from Zorro's practicing lair, you should get some!

OPEN POST: Pete "Dreamboat" Doherty at Glastonbury

Image
  What a blast from the past! I was reading about Glastonbury 2025 and came across this image of Pete Doherty, who will be performing on the Greenpeace stage today with his band, The Libertines. Doherty claims that his Glastonbury experience will be a bit different this year as he is with his 2-year old daughter and will be searching out "playgrounds and ice creams." He told reporter Charlotte Gallagher (pictured above) that he loves the magic of Glastonbury and it will always be special to him. Source: BBC News

OPEN POST: Summer Snacks

For many of us around here, it's hotter than Satan's taint in a wool jockstrap - and with that, we tend to prefer fare on the lighter side when it's time to stuff our empty maws. So Peckerdears, what are some of your favorite summer dishes that get the job done without giving you the meat sweats? I'll go first! Macaroni Salad While this one's a pretty standard recipe I like and found at  Macaroni Salad - Sugar Spun Run , it does the trick when you want a little light, cold pasta to sate your hunger: Ingredients: 8 oz macaroni noodles 1/2 cup diced sweet pickles 3/4 cup diced red bell pepper 1/3 cup sliced celery 1/3 cup diced red onion 2 large hard boiled eggs, diced Macaroni Salad Dressing: 3/4 cup mayo 1/4 cup sour cream (you could use nonfat plain greek yogurt if you wanna be low cal) 2 tbsp sweet pickle juice 1 tbsp red wine vinegar 1 tbsp sugar 2 tsp stone-ground mustard (or dijon if you nasty) 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 1/8 tsp garlic powder 1/8 tsp cru...

OPEN POST: Hosted By The Schlocktacular 1982 TV Movie, "Fantasies!"

Image
In 1982, I was a poor, yet simple, boy of 8 or 9, and I watched everything. We had 3 networks and 2 PBS stations, as well as 2 local stations that showed bowling, farm reports and some sort of stupid puppet show - as well as a really awesome show on Saturday nights that had old black-and-white, scary (but not really scary) movies. "Fantasies" was not among those, though it was a major, prime-time network movie, and it concerned the stars of "a very sexy soap opera" being murdered by a psycho stalker killer, the hook being that it starred ACTUAL SOAP OPERA STARS (!), the main one being the delightful Miss Robin Mattson from "General Hospital" and that dude from "All My Children" who's most famous for the commercial in which he muttered those immortal words, "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV." "Fantasies" is on Youtube, and I just watched the first scene in which a self-absorbed, pervy asshole actor gets killed pre...

27 years after the original I Know What You Did Last Summer was released, the film's sequel is coming out next month. The promotional posters have been released, and I must say FPJ could do with some posing lessons. Jennifer Love Hewitt also got her own poster: Will you be checking out this summer slasher? It's in theatres July 18th! Source: Columbia Pictures

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday Presents a Twofer With Lula Reed And Tiny Topsy!

Image
Greetings, ham-handers, and welcome to another edition of Manor Music Monday, today with two, count 'em, two, fabulous artists, plus a ginsu knife, free shipping and consensual tickles 'n kisses. Both artists, dont'cha know, were very early practitioners of rockabilly, blues and R&B. Intrigued? You really should be. Their music is perfect for anyone's summer playlist and pair quite well with mojitos, mint juleps or Bellini cocktails on the porch or by the pool. They're excellent for barbeques and backyard parties, too, especially the ones that get sloppy and last till the early yawning hours. Tonight, if you head over to the Manor's "Tooty Booty After Hours Lounge And Pizzeria," DJ Li'l Scratch will be laying down their tracks, so make sure you stop by. But first, take two steps back (at least) for Miss Lula Reed: Imposing, isn't she? Mentored in her hometown as a youth by Professor Harold Bogs , a blind Ohio pastor and gospel singing recor...

OPEN POST: With A Classic Chevy Pickup And Judy-Judy-Judy!

Just saw this beauty and as best I can figure it's a modified 1946 AK series Chevrolet Suburban truck. In 1946, the U.S. was feeling optimistic because WWII was finally over, our servicemen and servicewomen were back home and the G.I. Bill was helping members of our armed forces buy their own homes and get access to higher education for the first time. So toss the kids in the flatbed and go to the drive-in, there's a big new MGM musical called "Till The Clouds Roll By" and it's got JUDY GARLAND, and it's in TECHNICOLOR! Happy Wednesday, darlings!

OPEN POST: Paging Joan Rivers!

Image
  The Jurassic World Rebirth photocall took place in London yesterday and all I could think after seeing these photos is "what would Joan Rivers say?" Scarlett Johansson looked uncomfortable in a Schiaparelli dress. Mahershala Ali opted for double denim. Jonathan Bailey wore a horrendous sweater and FLIP FLOPS. Rupert Friend also sported dubious footwear (but at least he was serving face). And the director, Gareth Edwards, opted for a stretched-out t-shirt and Dad Shoes™. What a fashion disaster!

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Mysterious Paula Castle!

Image
  Welcome, music sluts and slutinos to another edition of Manor Music Monday, today with several dollops of mystery, intrigue and wait, what? Let me explain. As you may know, there are countless jazz vocalists from the mid-to-late 1950s who are lost to time, and I'm not talking about the already-established, like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday or Peggy Lee. I'm talking about the up-and-comers who were inspired as children by those giants of jazz, and come the 1950s, were at last ready to make their own mark.  Many didn't get the chance, and others, who released one or two LPs, suddenly had the plug pulled, their dreams abruptly dashed. The cause of all this? The rise of rock n' roll, a force so sensational, so overwhelmingly popular, that it changed the music landscape overnight. And forever. Who wants to hear the new jazz vocalist, the record companies figured, when you can sign that rising rock 'n roller who's firing up all the kids at the club?   Newbie jazz...
