St. Valentine's Day Happy Ending!

Blue Moon is once again taking its finery out of the locked cabinet, lighting candles, and giving their stage over to a wondrous line-up of early swing gypsy jazzers Mouce Manouche, streetrat Sinatras Velveteen Lotharios, practicing organists The Dirty Church Ladies, and the pinch of Slap and Tickle.

If you're looking for dark laughs, you simply cannot do better than Doug Stanhope. Deadbeat Hero, the hour embedded above, pokes fun at killing babies, democracy, and terrorism. And other things I'd rather not have google search attach to my name while I'm looking for a job. Plus, it was recorded live here in Seattle, so there's a nice bit of hometown flavor there too. Hit play and listen.

READER: Houdini speaks

Houdini speaks:

In this recording from 1914, Harry Houdini talks about his Water Torture Cell trick.

The audio was recorded on an Edison wax cylinder; one of six used that day by Houdini and now the only known recordings of his voice to exist.

The Blue Moon, that is. We join Twitch and The Januariez for an evening of rock and roll, attitude, and general debauchery. You should join us. We might make you King of the Moon!

Tonight Blues & Bluster gets to hustling with songs of professions, labor, and love.
