The Cramps were one of the greatest rock’n’roll bands ever. They played B-Movies inspired psychedelic rockabilly mixed with blues, punk and surf. It was founded by Lux Interior and Poison Ivy in New York in 1976.

Lux: First time I saw her she was walking down the street, hitchhiking, and she was wearing a halter-top and short shorts with a big hole in the ass with red panties showing through. I was with this other guy, a friend of mine, and we both just went, “Who-o-o-oh!” We pulled over and I think I had a hard-on about three seconds after I saw her. It was 1972, and we were at Sacramento State College.

Ivy: I’d just started college, and one day I was hitchhiking back from the campus to my apartment, when Lux and a friend of his gave me a ride. I’d seen him around the campus, and I thought he was extremely exotic. He would have these pants and each leg of the pants was a different colour. (…) Lux seemed like a creature from another world, with one foot already out of this dimension. (…) We were both studying art at Sacramento State College in the early Seventies. It was a very strange art department in Sacramento at that time, too, because the whole student population was made up of hippies, and they were into witchcraft and metaphysics and everything else. We met up in a class called Art and Shamanism. The textbook for that class was called ‘The Sacred Mushroom and The Cross’, and the subject of that book is how the real topic of the Bible is the Amanita muscaria mushroom and that Christ is a metaphor for this magic mushroom.

Lux: Rock ’n’ roll has absolutely nothing to do with music. It’s much more than music. Rock ’n’ roll is who you are. You can’t call the Cramps music. It’s noise, rockin’ noise.

塞翁失馬  > pron: Sāi Wēng Shī Mǎ

During the Han Dynasty, in the third century B.C., one day an old Chinese man named Sai Weng, lost his horse. His neighbors all said what terrible luck that was, and sympathized with the old man. But Mister Weng said: “I don’t know, maybe losing my horse is not a bad thing after all.”
The next day the old man’s horse returned, together with a beautiful female horse alongside him. All the neighbors exclaimed: “What great luck!” But the old man responded: “Maybe this is not such good luck after all.”
Old man Sai Weng also had a strong, young son. The boy fell in love with the new horse and rode her every day. One day the new horse got spooked by a wild animal in the forest and threw the boy from her back. He broke his leg very badly and was permanently crippled.
All Mister Weng’s neighbors said: “What a tragedy, your strong son will never walk without pain again.” But the old man again said: “Maybe this is not such a bad thing after all.”
And so it went that when the New Year came, the Emperor’s army passed through the region and recruited all able young men to fight in the frontier war. Because the old man’s son was crippled he could not fight and was left in the village to farm with his father. Sai Weng said to his neighbors: “You see, it all turned out OK in the end. Being thrown from the new horse and breaking his leg saved my son from fighting in the war and almost certain death. So it was in the end a lucky thing after all.”

Whenever bad thing happens in China, someone will say “Sai Weng Shi Ma” ( “The Old Man Who Lost His Horse”) to remind themselves and others that apparently bad things sometimes have a silver lining.

Happy Chinese New Year for Everybody in Year of The Horse

DETROIT   The SROS Lords don’t spare their instruments. They are hard on them. In this raw romance they unite in pleasure of the garage synth punk. During the listening I have written these: Screamers, Madness, Mummies, Rancid Hell Spawn, Terrible Twos, Human Eye. If you know about these bands, that’s just enough.

„people come to the show get crazy, jump around, fucking throw my drums around, I don’t give a fuck. I was just want to get fucking wild.  Eat food, drink beer, smoke weed, get fucking crazy. That’s all I want people to know.”
