Quickies (Tall Dwarfs, Soviet punks, Dolly Partons patches)

Chris Knox of the New Zealand band Tall Dwarfs had a stroke. This is very sad news and I wish him a speedy recovery.

• This photo of Soviet-era punks is on Boing Boing.

• Yrfriendmatthew shot a video of this dude/band Bosco Delrey at the Pogo in Togo party.

• I was yet to hear Gavin Russom's (formerly (?) of Delia and Gavin) project Black Meteoric Star until I made my weekly journey over to 20jazzfunkgreats, and now I am happy to report that it sounds like the theme to Knight Rider. He deserves to make a million off this.

• Did you know the Girl Scouts named a badge after a Dolly Parton song? I didn't either -- until now!
