"Come play the machines at Caesar's! We're MAKING IT RAIN!"

Now do Planet Hollywood.

The last time I was in Vegas (for 2 weeks) I crapped out, got a bottle and started walking down the strip, buying stupid stuff as it was cheaper than continuing to throw my money in the shitter.

I now have an Simpson’s bootleg Escobart t-shirt, though that isn’t stupid.

Anyways, I wandered into Planet Hollywood and won that days losses back.

Still think I won more money the two weeks I spent in Reno right after that. More money in Reno? Unpossible.

I’m thinking the Luxor fared better than others, even though it’s sinking on a normal day.

I have a sports journalist sibling who also wrote for a gambling institution among other such things.
They won a contest where you had to come up with an outgoing message pertaining to Vegas (or something like that).

It was a free stay at Aria or Vdara... one of those soulless city center boxes (and came with cash).

Uh... duh they were gonna win.

I’ll ask them what they wrote on our next birthday(s) or Kentucky Derby Day.

A music video for Gretta Garbage And The Trashcans' "The Girl With The Luminous Brain"
https://www.instagram.com/reel/CmCYmTpA ... FkMDk4Zjk=

That's pre-Radiators Steve Averill, Pete Holidai, and the late Billy Morley. Making a video in 1988 for a song from 1974 of a band that disbanded in 1975. Steve writes:

Before the Radiators landed from Space, Peter Jet Holidai, Billy Morley and myself gathered under the moniker of ‘Greta Garbage and the Trash Cans’ to dream about
world domination in the era of glam. Photos were taken, logo designed, some cover songs were attempted and one original track was written.

‘The Girl With The Luminous Brain’.

GG&TTC’s existence would be short-lived, as punk took hold and The Radiators From Space stepped forward.

In 1988, over a decade later, a call came from someone in RTE, the national broadcaster, wondering did we have any video material from this long defunct band. The source of this request and exact purpose for the footage is a little unclear. Pete recalls it being for a show called ‘TV Gaga’. Nonetheless we saw an opportunity to have some fun with this strange request. We hastily committed our only song to tape on our Tascam Portastudio. We then found ourselves in the boiler room of RTE with director Declan Lowney (Father Ted, Alan Partridge) and we performed below the now iconic towers of Ringsend.

I should note that the release of steam during the outlandish guitar solo was fortuitous and not a special effect!

We were joined by Paul Wynn on drums(brother of the Radiator’s drummer Jimmy Crashe) and Conor Leonard from ‘The Press’ on bass.

This particular airing was from the popular kids show ‘Dempsey’s Den’ with Ian Dempsey and Zig and Zag.

Looking back it’s a strange mix of glam and new wave, stretched across a decade with hints of the different musical eras.

A fascinating 30 min history of the trans woman behind the icon, including how she chased US televangelist Billy Graham out of London's Soho district one night in 1966.
