It has been over a month since I last had anything to say about anything from the Box of Mystery and Wonder or anything else. It was The Holidays and it was busy. I graduated with my Associate’s in Library Science, there was Christmas, I have seen The Force Awakens three times and my voice sounds like Tom Waits singing lullabies.
The box must have sensed the business of the season, I am beginning to suspect that it isn’t UN-like the Hellraiser puzzle box at times. The extremes of pleasure and pain were a part of that and I give you Hobo at one end of that spectrum and Gloria Lynne at the other.

And then there is this 12 inch single “Waiting for the Flood” by Love and Rockets off of their Earth, Sun, Moon album which isn’t on either end of the “Cenobite Pleasure & Pain Scale.” I try and nail down where it is on that scale. Humping in the middle? Grinding towards pleasure? Fondling itself towards pain?
I never listened too much of that emo, Goth stuff in the 80’s. I’m from Indiana and unless you were on a college campus that stuff wasn’t readily available which is good because I could see listening to them as girls would be into it and thus a guy would get into it for the girls who were into it. That is quite the run on sentence, much like the lyrics to the song.
See how I went on a little dissertation about Los Bros Hernandez and their seminal work Love and Rockets?
Go get some and read it and based on this one 12 inch single do not listen to the band Love and Rockets while doing so.
