• Rosa's Photo Corner: Secret Prostitutes, Southmore House Circle Pit, Todo Moto Motorcycle Club and El Desmadre

  [Rocks Off asked local music photographess supreme and Mutant Hardcore Flower Hour co-host Rosa Guerrero if she'd be willing to periodically open up her vast archives for our readers' enjoyment, and she graciously agreed. Here are her first submissions.] "The Secret Prostitutes perform at a warehouse on Commerce Street: This show was busted up by the cops pretty early on. Pity. It was a beautiful, cold, clear October night. They are performing tonight at Boondocks."

• Rosa's Photo Corner: Gay Marriage, the Quarentines, Golden Axe and Born Liars

  Photos by Rosa Guerrero "Gay Marriage in my "studio". Uh, that would be Rudyard's men's room before the hideous striped paint job. The band returns to Rudz (and the bathroom) tomorrow night. Nikon FA, available light, 1/30 of a second, 20mm lens." "Part of the Southmore House series. For me this photograph is all about that tattered wool jacket - this is as close as I get to fashion photography. The Quarentines will be performing as part of the 'Punxmas Fest' at White Swan F

• Rosa's Photo Corner: Pierced Arrows, Six Organs of Admittance, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings and X

  "Tri-X 400. Nikon FA, F1.4 at 1/60 of a second. I accidentally overcooked the negative in a D76 soup that was too hot to begin with, but the resulting effect really illuminates the experience even with the scance information in the composition - his closed eyes, the microphone camouflaging his gaping mouth. "Nonetheless, what we have here is Fred Cole, lead singer of the Pierced Arrows, who prior to the Arrows formed the legendary Dead Moon along with his wife Toody Cole (also in Pierced Arrow

• Rosa's Photo Corner: Obama's Pals Extra Golden, and a Shopping Cart of Hope

  Photos by Rosa Guerrero "When the band Extra Golden, which includes two Americans and two Kenyans, approached Barack Obama for help guiding them through the Visa process, the then-senator with Kenyan ancestry was kind enough to help them out. The band was then to able to tour and subsequently record the album Hera Ma Nono, which includes the song "Obama." Extra Golden played The Orange Show last fall."
