A wild, eclectic & accomplished album that strides confidently thru genre after genre to deliver a delightful set of weird showtunes, skewed pop & electric dance music.

A new Other People's Music appears! This week, enter the Cabaret of the Bizarre with some no-input mixing, videogame dubstep, dystopian drone, a wild set of multi genre electro cabaret & a garage rock tribute to those boat-sinking orcas we all love.

Decades old #LiveMusic venue's existence threatened by inept bankrupt #Oakland city #bureaucracy.

Eli's #MileHigh club, which was started by late Eli Thornton in 70s (before he was murdered in the joint by his girlfriend ), has hosted live gigs in its late last quarter of the 20th century blues heyday when John Lee Hooker, #CharlieMusselwhite, Etta James, Lowell Fulson, Tommy Castro, James Cotton, Little Charlie & The Night Cats, and even James Brown might make the scene, as patrons feasted on giant burgers, gumbo, andouille sausage and fried shrimp made by the ol' lady in the back. More recently, after it's musician owner Troyce Key passed, new ownership fought for years to regain a #Cabaret permit to begin a 21st century phoenix rising era of mixing emergent #hardrock & punk band bookings including locals like Sleep, #HighOnFire and #Entombed in with local blues and barbq, but now in 2025, those days are over.

#WestOakland #DiveBar has been forced to cut staff and close their outdoor smoking & bar bq area portion. Long used by Eli's patrons for decades, but apparently a 'non permitted' backyard area (according to city), it has become an issue now after new neighbor complaints, including many from a recent #residential highrise that was built long after the bar was an #EastBay #nightlife fixture .

Mgmt is asking for support from patrons, and particularly seek photos over a decade old that hopefully show previous outdoor backyard activity.

"I think we get lost in the pink lipstick of Wicked or the fetish queer aesthetic of Cabaret, and whilst they might be fabulous, that novella gives us a window into the moment our world is sadly reliving."

Artist Marcia X · Wicked & Cabaret: Why We Need Them…A rambleThoughts, essays, music and ideas.

"In early February, Adam Lambert made waves after he stopped mid-show to admonish audience members who laughed inappropriately during a performance of “#Cabaret” on #Broadway. Lambert explained his position during a Monday interview on “The View,” arguing that the themes of #antisemitism within the classic #musical are nothing to laugh at today."

TheWrap · Adam Lambert Explains Why He Shushes Broadway-Goers Who Laugh at 'Cabaret' Jew Joke"I just looked at the audience, and said, 'No, no, no, no, This isn't comedy. Pay attention," he tells "The View"

Musical Interlude: OK, to add something bizarre and macabre to Valentine's Day....This started as a work by Edward Gorey that he meant to illustrate, but never got around. He sent a bunch of his writings to the group The Tiger Lillies, of which he was fond, and allowed them to set them to music. (The Gorey estate, I understand, is none too happy about this....) And this became a show, and later album, "The Gorey End."

The Tiger Lillies aren't for everyone, and while I like them, I don't expose them to all and sundry because they can be a bit off-putting. This is one of the more accessible albums, and my personal favorite track.

"The Weeping Chandelier," performed by the Tiger Lillies with the Kronos Quartet.
