Apparently there are pics of each of the guys from this sensationally sartorial Jetboy photo session. However, Rave-Up was only sent this one of Sami Yaffa. The details of how Hanoi Rocks' bassist came to join Jetboy are in this article from my old fanzine. devorahostrov.blogspot.com/2018/05/jetb...

Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go's at the Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center, Oakland, December 15, 1990, and my photo pass.

Due to overwhelming public demand* I have added some prints of this to my shop. They're available here... www.stuffbymark.co.uk/shop (*ie three people have politely asked me to)

Me paying my respects to the Gem Spa while visiting New York in 1984. Sadly, no New York Dolls were hanging around.

Our Molly doing her bit to promote #DogsAtPollingStations today. Our polling station (in Wales in case the signage isn't obvious) actually lets dogs come inside while their owners vote, which is lovely!

Wishing Lords drummer Nick Turner a very Happy Birthday today!!! Here's a photo of Nick (on the left) in the van after an afternoon spent at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. Also getting into the van are Grant Fleming and Alistair Symons (with his back to the camera).

Some of the less controlled areas of the garden where things just do whatever they want. #BloomScrolling #spring #flowers #garden

I can't make out the artist's name, but I love that someone created this drawing of Stiv based on this photo I took of him on a hotel rooftop in LA.

X bassist/vocalist John Doe. I (probably) took this photo in 1993 at a San Francisco radio station party. Colourization of the original B&W pic is more recent.

46 years ago Songs the Lord Taught Us is the first album by the American punk rock band The Cramps, released in May 1980 includes the single 'Garbageman. #punk #punks #punkrock #thecramps #songsthelordtaughtus #history #punkrockhistory

Hubby & I are celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary today! We met at an Ian Hunter gig in LA & got hitched six weeks later in SF (in between we went to NY where we saw Wreckless Eric & got engaged, then Mike had to go home to Manchester & pack).

And the man at the back said, "Everyone attack!” and it turned into a ballroom grift. And the girl in the corner said, "Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a ballroom grift."

Framed advertising poster using my 1985 photo (with beautiful artwork & colourization by guitarist Willie Orwonee) for Sybil's "Every Parent's Dream CD.

This morning a gorgeous Mallard duck couple (Domino at top of the pond & Daisy a bit better camouflaged on the right) took up residence in our garden! Hubby & I are now dedicating our lives to catering for their every need.

That time in 2005 when Mike & I bumped into Joe Elliott following an Ian Hunter show. Luckily, Joe didn't seem to remember me from our rather awkward meeting 25 years earlier!

Highly recommended!

Just a random photo I took of Joey Ramone & "Miami Vice" star Don Johnson hanging out together (I didn't ask why) at a benefit for Thunder Road in SF, 1997.

Hope everyone enjoyed Record Store Day! Hubby went to Rough Trade in Liverpool where he managed to acquire us each one coveted LP. Me: Lenny Kaye's "Nuggets - Live at the BBC." Hubby: Arcade Fire's "Open Your Heart or Die Trying." He didn't get: Gong's "Flying Teapot" or Rainbow's "Live from Köln."

Cool article about Richard Hell... www.poetryfoundation.org/articles/177...

Steven Tyler signed this sticker for me when I interviewed him for my old fanzine! You can read the interview on my blog page: devorahostrov.blogspot.com/2018/09/when...

When polls are published of great front men of bands, inexplicably, Freddie Mercury usually features. THIS is a front man. The Clash live was a force of nature.

Found these on a recent visit to our local used record store where they had a sale on 12" EPs - £5 each or 5 for £20. Can you guess which one I grabbed for my hubby?

Tower Records Welcomes The Alarm! I took this photo while the band signed autographs in the Tower Records parking lot, San Francisco, 1983.

Despite the almost daily rain, wind & cold here in North Wales, we've got tulips, bleeding hearts & a patch of cute blue flowers blooming away. Welcome to Spring!

The Generals are gone. The AG is gone. We started a war. Gas is up. Healthcare is up. Prescriptions are up. The rich are richer. The poor are poorer. Protesters have been killed. Service members have been killed. The law is a suggestion. The constitution is a memory. We. Are. Not. Okay.

That time (1984) when Kim McAuliffe from Girlschool took my friend Sara & I up all 311 steps to the top of London's Monument! She was an excellent tour guide.

Some backstage pics I took of Madness -- Chrissy Boy, Suggs & Woody -- at Day on the Green 3, September 10, 1983 at the Oakland Coliseum.

R.I.P. Ross. I took this photo of Ross at a long ago Dictators soundcheck at Bottom of the Hill in SF.

@punkpioneers.bsky.social Hi Jenny, found these pages from Sounds posted on Bluesky (@soundsclips.bsky.social). It's Darcy Diamond's article about the LA punk scene. Not sure if all the photos are yours. The one who posted this credits Kate Simon, but at least one page of them are yours.

An good breakdown of the warnings from Orwell's "1984" (compiled by Ageless Literature, a collectable book dealer). Orwell imagined a world where truth was malleable, language was a weapon, and privacy no longer existed. Here are seven lines from 1984 that no longer read like prophecy, but reality.

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Yesterday's peaceful (but noisy) demo in front of San Francisco's Tesla showroom was the biggest yet. Next weekend, on Sat. April 5 from 1 to 3 pm, there will be a rally against Trump, Musk + their minions at San Francisco Civic Center Plaza, 335 McAllister Street. Please come! #nokings #nomusk

BREAKING: Trump is having a full-blown meltdown on Truth Social—this time over a painting of him displayed at the Colorado State Capitol. He’s lashing out at the governor, claiming the portrait is “distorted.” It’d be a real shame if everyone saw it… and shared it.

Mr. James was the nicest guy on the planet, and I was privileged to call him a good friend for many years. I'm devastated. RIP Brian.

Hearing the devastating news that David Johansen has died. RIP David. 💔 Here's some pics I took at the Dolls after show party with American Heartbreak & friends at the Fillmore in 2004.

Missing my friend Roxy today, on what would have been his birthday. I'm not entirely sure what garden implement he was posing with for this photo, but I'm absolutely certain that no manual labour was being done.

Wishing Mr. Brian James a very Happy Birthday today!!! I took this photo of Brian at The Troubadour in London, where he was celebrating the release of his 2019 biography. #punk #thedamned #lordsofthenewchurch

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Some Kodak Instamatic pics I took of David Johansen at the Boarding House in San Francisco in 1979...

Here are a few colourful thoughts on AI in music (& other areas) - a crack at updating the Buggles’ magnificent “Video Killed the Radio Star” 👉 youtu.be/qDzFOl7ynNI?fe… In solidarity with others concerned by current 😩government proposals.

I'm currently obsessed with Jay Bastos and this video! It's absolutely brilliant!!! How had I never heard of him until a few days ago? Did any of you ever see him or buy his records? www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_hr...

Please share these facts: USAID buying US goods accounts for 13 percent of the US economy! (But costs less than 1% of US budget.) USAID buys from US farmers, US manufacturers, US suppliers to ship overseas. 1 in 5 US jobs benefit from USAID purchasing. www.usglc.org/media/2017/0...

This Japanese advert for instant noodles is the most metal (and mental) thing you will see today (or possibly ever)... www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zzz...

I realize I'm a dweeb and probably everybody has known about this forever ... but the B-side of Love's "7 and 7 Is" single is "No. Fourteen." How wonderful is that?
