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?
