No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: Tura Satana in Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill!

It is Tura’s portrait of Varla in Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! that stopped the clock forever. With her trademark Germaine Monteil eyeliner and Max Factor pancake, a Frederick’s of Hollywood bra with specially made cups that ensured even cleavage with no unexpected pop-outs, and leather gloves—one of which inevitably holds a slim Nat Sherman cigarette—Varla’s a gender-bending femme fatale who still packs a wallop nearly forty years later. Tura didn’t have to do any research for the part. The tragic events of her childhood gave her a grim insight into the role that couldn’t be begged, borrowed, or stolen. “Varla is the most honest, maybe the one honest portrayal in the Meyer canon,” writes critic Richard Corliss. “Certainly the scariest.”

It’s still warm down on Brush St., and no one feels this more inside the Purple Bat Lounge than its DJ — the one  permanently sewn into a fur coat. Lee-Roy continues to seek relief on the bar’s Outdoor Patio™, where sizzling bug carcasses provide a soundtrack nearly as interesting as the three dozen tunes spun by our canine selector and his partner & appointed guardian, Reeshard. In an effort to locate a lighter, Lee-Roy spent some of his time indoors rooting around within bartender LaWanda’s purse, the latter crammed with the tools of her trade. Our dog found the much needed implement immediately prior to Uncle Morty’s arrival. Which was good, as on this particular Saturday, Morty came bearing some of his private reserve. And what would that be? To learn this and so much more, just click on the arrow immediately below. And then, to borrow from Lowell Thomas, you are there…

Summer…will it never end? Lee-Roy, that most estimable DJ at the Purple Bat Lounge, probably hopes it won’t. He so enjoys the spectacle served up in the alley behind the bar every Saturday evening when the temperature approaches three digits. What spectacle, you ask? (You can’t have listened to this show very often.) I reference, of course, the perversely entertaining summertime ritual enacted on the bar’s Outdoor Patio™, wherein local pimp Lotsa Poppa tosses fistfuls of whatever insects are available at the carriage lamp-styled bug zapper…for the benefit of those psychopaths who consider such things amusing. And Lee-Roy, much to the chagrin of his co-host Reeshard, is definitely amused. Of course, lots of great music plays indoors. We learn of another weird late summer double-feature at The Madison, and Uncle Morty delivers the goods as usual. If you’re interested, just click a few pixels south of here and let that Brush St. magic wash over you…in the comparative safety of your own home…

Owing to technological difficulties, we now join the program well after its initial broadcast. No need for concern, though: The complete experience, everything it takes to make the Purple Bat Lounge a place to be on a Saturday night, is contained herein. You’ll hear roughly three dozen great tunes. The irrepressible Lee-Roy needles his human co-host as only he can. Uncle Morty pops by mid-show with a selection of delicacies stashed within his grisly-looking former ice cream truck. The Madison Theater hosts a twin-bill of dubious moral value, entirely appropriate to local temperature and humidity. And all this — and more — can be yours, once you hit that <PLAY> arrow just south of these words…

It didn’t start well, that much was obvious. DJ Lee-Roy stormed into the booth as last Saturday’s show commenced, hurling all manner of imprecations at his long-suffering legal guardian (and occasional bail bondsman) Reeshard. Was it just the bar’s noteworthy lack of air conditioning? Oh, hell no. Our favorite pit bull thought that his dedicated human was hiding the latest issue of Paws’n’Gravy, a curious dog fetish mag to which Lee-Roy subscribes. Once Reeshard pointed out that his co-host was sitting on the periodical in question, all was forgiven and it was off to the races: Over three dozen storming tunes played, while news arrived of another ultra-sleazy double bill screening at the Madison…and Uncle Morty’s truck arrived as well, the latter none too soon for one over-heated canine DJ. So much more happened — with action galore transpiring on the bar’s Outdoor Patio™ — but you’ll have to listen to get the full picture. Click right down there and the Purple Bat Lounge’s unique ambiance will materialize in the comparative safety of your own home…

Simply put, it was too freaking hot. Which went a long ways to explaining the comparative torpor at the Purple Bat Lounge last Saturday night. It was too hot for scams, too hot for violence, too hot for inappropriate propositions and certainly too hot for dancing. But that didn’t stop DJ’s Reeshard & Lee-Roy from doing their level best to encourage the bar’s patrons to get out on the floor. Later, as the temperature dropped a few degrees and after Uncle Morty’s truck appeared, some rhythmic motion could be detected among the assembled throng. There’s probably decent A/C at your place, so why not try dancing there? At least you won’t get anything on your outfit, which probably would have happened if you’d been with us on Saturday.

After a work-related hiatus lasting the better part of a month, DJ’s Reeshard & Lee-Roy returned to the DJ booth in the Purple Bat Lounge to find…that nothing had changed appreciably. Sure, the temperature had ramped up significantly. It was now July, after all, which meant the Outdoor Patio — being some folding chairs set outside the bar’s back door near the trash cans — was now the place to hang. Especially if your idea of a good time comprised watching local ‘entrepreneur’ Lotsa Poppa throw cockroaches at the bug zapper hanging above said Patio. The sound of three dozen great tunes, played at lease-breaking levels, entertained the under-the-stars set, as did the sound of that warped tape loop of “Für Elise” announcing the mid-evening arrival of Uncle Morty’s truck. So much more happened and so much could have been forgotten, were it not all recorded for posterity. And now you can hear it, too, just by clicking the big arrow…right…down…there…

The assembled fathers within The Purple Bat Lounge celebrated their special day this past Saturday evening. You could justly accuse them of jumping the gun, but were you there, the collective Dad impatience was understandable. There was great music, selected with verve and esprit de corps by the bar’s DJ’s, Reeshard & Lee-Roy. There were intriguing transactions made just outside the door to the alley. Cocktails were served in quantity, despite bartender LaWanda being ostensibly M.I.A. throughout the festivities. Uncle Morty turned up in his ‘distressed finish’ truck, bearing party favors that couldn’t be ignored. And when all was said and done, what did the Dads in attendance have to show for their pre-Father’s Day bash? Some empty Wippets containers rolling down the staircase to the basement, the occasional discarded condom wrapper, a persistent ringing in the ears…and the feeling that one had truly been somewhere. We can at very least impart this last takeaway to you, dear listeners. Simply click where you’re supposed to, a few pixels south of this sentence…

Spring proceeds apace at the Purple Bat Lounge, as climbing temperatures prompt the regulars into something resembling liveliness, only to see them slump face-first on the bar top a few moments later. Bartender LaWanda is still MIA for the most part, indicating that she’s doing a brisk business with tech sector clients in her Port-A-Dungeon™, down in the bar’s basement. Upstairs, DJ’s Reeshard & Lee-Roy spin four storming sets of transgressive music from all over the place. And, as always, our favorite deliveryman Uncle Morty makes his requisite mid-show appearance. (When Lee-Roy takes receipt of a small can labeled Ruben & The Jets, he gets a pocket history lesson from his owner.) Refreshing noise curated for discriminating palates, delivered in a subtly narcotic atmosphere…what more do you want? Go on, it’s…just…down…there…
