↳ The Oscar @1:32

You are correct!   1:34pm
Jeremy: You had to see Caroliner to really experience their thing, it was a whole theater with insane costumes with extra limbs and full backlight backdrops. Hard to follow the narratives but they did have stories. I saw some copies of Bababafush at Record Grouch a few weeks ago, I’d wager they are still there… 🎸 ♥ 1:34pm
joe mulligan: Caroliner is one of my alltime favorites. I saw them in the early 90s in philly at the khyber pass. it was on good friday before easter so they cut angry faces on the bottom of easter baskets and made them into masks 🎸 ♥ 1:35pm

those were my top 2 sources for sound!   1:51pm
tranewreck: “banana fish” is/was a regional slang for a used condom and growing up in NY/NJ in the 60’s it was a common-enough beach term that I assumed it was the Salinger reference and that subsequent usage was referencing this slang. 🎸 ♥ 1:52pm
joe mulligan:

↳ Song: "Broken Fence Of The Battered And Buried" by "Eeyo...
