Rip Off [Remake] The Old Block...





I want to post pictures of the Haworthia I have. Lee made me a planter box a while back and I planted a little haworthia, aloe, and gasteria garden in it. The original cutting is from the artist Mike Kelly's yard which makes me really happy. A friend of mine was doing some yard work for him, so naturally the cutting was procured [My rip off and reamake]. I didn't have the cutting in the right part of my yard/ correct watering situation at first and almost lost it. The plant is doing really in a partial sun and light watering twice a week when it's hot. Left is a picture of the plant earlier this year right before it bloomed a beautiful red flower. Below is the box and the a picture of the plant and all it's pups taken recently.

Amongst his awesome sculptural and video work, Mike Kelly did the album cover for Sonic Youth's Dirty album [pictured above]. Theresa's Soundworld is a great song off Dirty. Personally, I think Murray Street might be my favorite Sonic Youth album.

Speaking of rip offs and remakes... I have to share two of the best tributes/covers which are Sonic Youth's of Kim Fowley's Bubblegum [1969] and Ciccone Youth's cover of Madonna's Into the Groove.
