It may seem I’m being a bit irreverent about Easter in these posts. Far from it – I have a lot of respect for any holiday whose central theme is a guy being gruesomely murdered for upsetting the status quo only to come back from the dead.

Of course, you don’t need to be the Son of God to do that. All you need is a good necromancer, and off you go.

Let’s listen to the Coffinshakers sing about it.



FULL DISCLOSURE: Okay, maybe I am being irreverent about this. But you would be too if you were an agnostic and a little tired of people sending you Easter greetings proclaiming “He is risen!” as if this meant anything to anyone besides the True Believers. Preaching to the choir, you might say.

Bring out yr dead,

Now THIS is an Easter song.

And now, Throat Culture will perform "Easter Island Head" for yr pleasure.




Well, I did say these posts would be barely related to Easter.

And Easter Island is called Easter Island because it was discovered on Easter Sunday, so this is probably the closest I’ve ever come to a “proper” Easter post.

Sorry about that. The next two will be less relevant, I promise.
Mysterious and always left alone,

It’s a four-day weekend for us in Hong Kong, thanks to the Easter holiday. Which means four days of barely-related-to-Easter posts for you.

Starting with this song that sums up my favorite things about Easter:



Devil bunnies,

And that’s all I got for Easter 2010. Must sleep now.

Because it’s not Easter without bunnies.



SPECIAL COMMENTARY: While I’ve made no secret of my love for retro cheesecake on this blog, I confess that I always found the Playboy Bunny concept more camp than sexy. And I also think that while Hugh Hefner may have a lot to advance sexual liberation in America, he usually did it in a way that ensured the sexist lifestyle of well-off single men remained firmly unchanged (or at least unthreatened).

That said, watching this footage, it occurs to me that Hefner might also have been an avant garde comedian of sorts.

Consider the commercial success and pop-culture phenomenon of the Playboy Club, the success of which hinged entirely on convincing as many women as possible to dress up like sexy rabbits.

Tell me that’s not one of the greatest mass practical jokes ever.

Hippity hop hop,

Happy Easter, by the way. Bill Hicks sums up my thoughts from beyond the grave.

Well, of course, as the headline suggests, this series was always an excuse to eventually post a 13th Floor Elevators song at the end.

And here it is.


Nothing to do with Easter, of course. But then the same could be said for Playmate pinball machines and Jessica Rabbit in bondage (if not Cthulhu).

Anyway, to keep some level of bunny consistency, I’ll add this cute yet disturbing picture which, now that I think of it, goes rather well with influential Texas psychedelica.

Okay, and that’s all I’ve got for Easter. Next year I’ll try to work in some obscure Mitch Easter jokes.

As long as we’re celebrating a holiday about a god that died, yet lives and now millions of worshipers await his return ...

Spare a thought for Cthulhu Bunny.

Which appears to be homemade variation of My Little Cthulhu.

Also available: a heartwarming picture of a little girl playing with her pet rabbit and a Cthulhu hand puppet.



Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.....

FUN FACT:
Easter, like many Christian holidays, began as a pagan holiday. In this case, worshipers of Cybele, the Phrygian fertility goddess, would also pay respects to her lover, Attis, who was born via a virgin birth, and would die and come back from the dead EVERY YEAR.

Born again and again and again,

I don’t know about you, but here in Hong Kong we’re kicking off a four-day weekend for the Easter holiday today. And I needs me a four-day weekend. So to celebrate, here’s the first of four daily Easter-related posts: a Playboy Bunny with a pinball machine.



And yes, that’s about as close to actual Easter imagery as this series is going to get.

Unless you’d rather I post Zombie Jesus stuff all weekend.

BONUS TRACK: a Playboy Bunny with Soupy Sales.
