UNTITLED (GETTING ME OUT THE DOOR)

I’d rather have this one on a cake.

Goo

Continuing the Goo theme, here’s the photograph of the whirlwind, heat, and flash that served as the inspiration for Raymond Pettibon’s Sonic Youth album artwork.

It’s a photograph Myra Hindley and Ian Brady, the couple responsible for the Moors Murders.

It’s actually a photo of Maureen Hindley and her husband, David Smith. Maureen was Myra’s younger sister, and the two were close with her and Ian. David was a witness to the last murder, and was responsible for turning them in to the police. (Thanks to Garrison for setting us straight).
