“In four months, Keith would appear in court for his drug trial, and some remnant of the feeling he had now would come back to him then. He would tell the court what he thought of five policemen invading his house, peering into his privacy. He would wear one of Anita’s scarves around his neck. During the recesses, he would order expensive lunches from his cell and get drunk on wine. When they asked him about the naked girl in the upstairs bedroom, he would say that he was not an old man and did not share their petty moral outrage, that the girl had just been taking a nap and that in any case she was his friend. When it was over, he would emerge from the trial transformed, a swaggering outlaw figure, no longer a lone misfit, no longer the shy dreamer who had been preyed upon at school by older boys who called him a faggot and a girl. He didn’t know that the next night the police would raid Brian’s flat, the flat in Earl’s Court he had shared with Anita, and frame him for possession of cocaine. When he thought of Brian now — leaving Brian by himself in the hotel — he couldn’t picture Brian himself, only the empty room.” — Zachary Lazar, Sway.
Per the usual, it’s right down there…

It’s a bit embarrassing, so we might as well get it out of the way now: DJ Reeshard was walking Lee-Roy the other day when the latter, always mindful of his neighborhood enemies list, bolted for the gate containing an especially annoying Malamute. In the course of his spontaneous attack, Lee-Roy managed to flip his human pal end over end, with the end result of Reeshard landing on — and breaking — his little finger. The damaged digit is now in a splint. While this makes cuing records difficult, both DJ’s rocked the Purple Bat Lounge this past Saturday. Though, truth be told, Reeshard did most of the heavy lifting in this regard. Lee-Roy was too busy laughing at his injured companion’s aluminum accessory. Movies at the Madison, Uncle Morty and other expected benefits of an evening spent in a bad part of town — all present and accounted for. Now you can hear it too. Just click a few pixels to the south of this sentence…

No one could be more surprised at having made it to 2020 that the co-hosts of No Condition Is Permanent, DJ’s Reeshard & Lee-Roy. The new year arrived at the Purple Bat Lounge accompanied by three dozen tunes, any one among them capable of lifting the paint from old car fenders. Of course Uncle Morty stopped by, goods in hand. (What? You thought he wouldn’t?) And the programmers at The Madison stepped up to the plate as well, screening a seasonal-yet-creepy double feature.

“Eddie Romero made a series of awful ‘Blood Island’ films in the Philippines. The producers decided those weren’t bad enough, so they hired Al Adamson to direct a similar mad scientist film. Sure enough, it’s worse than the others. Al manages to do everything wrong again. Kent Taylor stars as the nut whose brain transplant experiments produce Gor (John Bloom), a big ugly monster who gets to carry Regina Carrol around. Dwarf assistant Angelo Rossitto laughs a lot and pokes at chained women.”

We held off from putting last Saturday’s pre-Thanksgiving revels online, though not owing to the usual allegations of libel and character assassination nor sundry other threats of litigation. Rather, we decided to offer our unique form of distraction to the indolent souls comprising our audience, on the day they could appreciate it the most: Black Friday.

Well, that was anything but your normal-formal Saturday evening at the Purple Bat Lounge. DJ Lee-Roy stated his case, straight out of the gate, that he belonged to the exploited underclass and wanted his co-host (and legal guardian AND the guy who pays for whatever it is that Uncle Morty brings to the front curb every week) Reeshard to do something about it. The source of the dog’s umbrage and newly politicized outlook? Why the Little Red Book, of course. Though as the evening proceeded, the tome in question was not the red book authored by Chairman Mao. It was, instead, this one, as provided by bartender LaWanda. And it did show Lee-Roy a lot that he hadn’t been getting. All this, as more than 30 stormin’ tunes played, The Madison staged a Dolomite double feature and the most famous pit bull on Brush Street searched for a Rasta date for the movies, with questionable success. It’s a lot to take in, we’ll admit, but listening makes it go down that much more easily. So click just down there and hear for yourself…

After the last pumpkin has burnt out and begun to shrivel and liquefy; after the last costumed reveler has been apprehended; and after the last crack house set ablaze on Devil’s Night is reduced to a heap of smoking embers, something like normalcy returns to The Purple Bat Lounge. Wait! Did we say that the last blaze was extinguished? Far from it, Group! Why, one of the bar’s own DJ’s — yes, it was Lee-Roy, as though you had to ask — managed to ignite the audio mixer as last Saturday’s first set concluded. Anything after that might seem anti-climactic, but only to those unfamiliar with the innate potential within a Saturday evening on Brush Street. Blaxploitation movies playing at The Madison, a visit from Uncle Morty and the ever-escalating war of words between DJ Reeshard and his canine charge…well, it all goes toward ‘upping the FUN quotient,’ as the dog would have it. Find out how, simply by clicking on the big arrow, a few pixels south of here…

HERE IT IS: The episode commemorating the 6th Anniversary of No Condition Is Permanent‘s debut as part of Luxuria Music’s Saturday evening line-up. That the show began on Halloween seemed to augur well for its future. At any rate, that’s our story and we’re sticking to it. We — being DJ’s Reeshard & Lee-Roy — spun a lot of spooky novelty singles over the course of last Saturday evening, during which the Purple Bat Lounge staged its annual costume competition. The bar offers a bottle of Kentucky Owl as the yearly prize, though no one can remember anyone ever winning. (The collective recall of The Purple Bat’s patrons is often challenged by issues just such as these.) That bartender LaWanda dusted off the bottle in question as the competition began, left many wondering…but that’s neither here nor there. Halloween is our favorite time of year and, as always, it wouldn’t be the same without you. Hit that arrow-thing down there, and get your witch on…
