lydia lunch worship thread

I listened to one episode of this, had Wolf Eyes on. Yeah, it was kinda just uncomfortable and cringe-y more than anything. The repeated horndog come-on’s directed to the band were blech. Show might be unlistenable if it weren’t for the cohost mediating and directing things along. But… it’s Lydia Lunch, so I guess none of that’s surprising.

I enjoyed her set when she came through a few years ago.

She was a bit like that in the Thirlwell interview and she's lived with him for 7 years

The best episodes of her podcast are the ones where the guest knows how to work with her and throw back, otherwise she'll just steamroller through it all until she gets bored. I recall that episodes with Byron Coley, Martin Rev, and Jerry Stahl were great.

Ran across this interview with her on the Women of Rock Oral History Project YT channel. It's worth the time, especially if you thought The War Is Never Over doc was good, but not great. She's more funny, honest and open here than I've seen in other interviews.

Unexpected line-up of Lydia Lunch and David J at the Monty Bar in downtown LA last night. Difficult and mostly negative vibes - the guitarist backing LL wasn't really paying attention to her words and playing the wrong kind of riffs. She was getting pissed (in both meanings), but from out of nowhere she broke into Bowie's "Time" and when she got to the "Time, he flexes like a whore" verse it was kinda brilliant and transcendent in a fractured way. She should record it.

David J came on with a band and played two songs: a destructo cover of The Birthday Party's "Deep In The Woods" and a straight-up glam cabaret version of "Alabama Song." Thank you good night?
