K-Doe's catch phrases included "Burn, K-Doe, Burn!", "I'm a Charity Hospital Baby!" and (addressed to himself) "You just good, that's all!" For a time he billed himself as "Mister Naugahyde", until he was ordered to desist by the owners of the Naugahyde trademark. K-Doe then explained that it was a misunderstanding; he was actually referring to himself as "Mister M-Nauga-Ma-Hyde", a word he invented himself.

In the 1990s, K-Doe began billing himself as "The Emperor of the Universe" and, wearing a cape and crown, became a famous local eccentric in New Orleans. He continued performing and occasionally recording until shortly before his death. Always an elaborate showman, one of K-Doe's most notable later performances was at the Aquarium of the Americas, in New Orleans, where he performed at a benefit for a local group aiding people with disabilities. The show ended with K-Doe performing seven continuous renditions of "Mother In Law" while dancing in front of the Gulf of Mexico shark tank exhibit dressed in a green plumed cape.

The album is killer. When I immerse myself in it it's like an incredible southern gothic anthology film playing out in my head. But the closer is something extra and probably my favorite example of musical storytelling. The entire "it's been years now..." verse where the narrator's attempts to move on are undercut by this doomed descending motif that just keeps going unabated like some unresolvable trauma that'll ruin everything you'll ever touch. I get the chills every time I listen to it attentively.

The Mercy Seat is great too. This Bambara album has had me wondering if I'm a latent blues punk/gothic rock fan so I've checked out some Nick Cave/Birthday Party stuff but I can't say I've found an album that has clicked with me, but I do love that one song.

i think i'm ready to call that song better than 'the mercy seat' now tbh. genuinely haunted music. what i personally would really love is a graphic novel that feels like it, seems the perfect medium somehow. a short story collection, alternatively.
