60's Flashback

If you've never seen it, do yourself a favor this Halloween season and check out "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" It's a trip.

Jesus is a Friend of Mine!

Cause when I think ska, I think Christians.

Stoned out of their gourd, goofy grinning, rasta loving Christians.

I love the piano that no one is playing in the middle of the group.

Saturday Morning Flashback

On my latest fall into a YouTube hole, I've rediscovered the commercials I watched every Saturday as a kid. And then traveled back in time to see what Saturday mornings were like even before I was born. As fun as it was, listening to all the exciting music and seeing the flashing imagery, I think I know why my parents always sent me outside to play by about 11 or 12 o clock each Saturday :P. If I've done this right, the clips below should be in chronoglogical order, starting from the early 70's. It's like listening to my Pure Disco cds in commercial form! Enjoy!

This Made My Brain Hurt

This is worse than the Weezer video below.

To set the scene, the soundtrack is the original We Are The World recording. It's NOT the original performers. It's primarily American 80's stars filmed by a Scandanavian tv channel some time in the rather recent past. For some reason.

A few things heard uttered when watching this:
"When did Irene Cara get old?"
"the first time I saw Rick Springfield in his 50's I knew I wasn't a kid anymore"
"I'm sorry, my brain just oozed out my ear"
"AHHHH...it's Madam Mim from Sword and the Stone...oh wait...it's just Bonnie Tyler"
"god damn this song goes on...this...there's no words"
"I wonder how many kids starved to death while this song played"
" like they were standing off camera and the Pointer Sisters were all holding sandwhiches going "nooo, you can't have any"
"not until the song is OVER!"
