No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: A Chet Atkins model Gretsch guitar, circa 1960.

Halloween is approaching, which is not only our favorite holiday but also represents the 6th anniversary of No Condition Is Permanent taking over the weekly Saturday evening shift at Luxuria Music. In the run-up to the big day, The Madison is showing yet another sleazy-yet-spooky twin-bill. DJ Lee-Roy is also gearing up for the occasion, planning a most special costume (which may upset sensitive souls and/or residents of Georgia). He and co-host Reeshard colored the atmosphere within the Purple Bat Lounge with three dozen tracks selected for their suitability to rattle windows in the neighborhood. Check it out, all of it, simply by clicking immediately below…

As late summer doldrums disappear in the rear-view mirror, even the narcotic-positive patrons of the Purple Bat Lounge sense Father Time dropping his foot on the accelerator. Why, in the space of a single Saturday evening they witnessed: Lee-Roy diving into a new special issue of Paws’n’Gravy magazine (to the extent that he nearly forgot about the show); DJ Reeshard and the aforementioned pit bull selecting nearly three dozen tunes and playing same at lease-breaking volume; Uncle Morty turning up with a small canister whose label spelled ‘trouble’ (though using different letters to accomplish as much); and the beginning of Halloween programming at The Madison. It’s all there to be heard, in whatever you consider as linear time, simply by clicking immediately below…

Lady June (w. Kevin Ayers & Brian Eno) — “Tunion” — Lady June’s Linguistic Leprosy

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…

Were you to drop by the Purple Bat Lounge on a given Saturday evening, you’d stand a good chance of hearing at least a few of these characters, all of them favorites of ours. Co-host Lee-Roy thought this was a good idea, to let people know what they were getting into. As usual, I indulged him. Will probably live to regret that…
