Interesting article on the Muscle Shoals sound here. Check it out. “Most Jimmy Cliff fans would assume “Sitting in Limbo” from The Harder They Come soundtrack was recorded in Kingston. Nope. Like other “secret” Shoals sessions, it was never officially credited on liner notes because Cliff was not properly papered to “work” (i.e. record) while…

I don’t know who is behind this site, Bandtoband.com…but I think it’s pretty interesting. They even have me in there. And you can draw less than six degrees of separation between me and GWAR. I think that’s pretty cool.

Some interesting coincidences in the past couple of weeks. I started reading about chess and how to play the day before Bobby Fischer dies. And I recently watched some classic Twilight Zone episodes, most notably the great 1961 offering Midnight Sun…only to learn that the show’s star — the incredibly talented and kinda hot (pun…

You can check out a bunch more of these Garfield…eh, interpretations…on the Lasagna Cat website (and in much better resolution).

Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans, take heart. The cast-crew of the original series have reunited in what could be a fun new project titled CINEMATIC TITANIC. Joel, Trace, Frank, Josh and Mary Jo will silhouette themselves once more in a direct-to-DVD release of the Al Adamson classic Brain of Blood. The group performed for the…

Man, sorry it’s been so long. Too long. The holidays have come and gone. New Years has come and gone and here we are — seven days into 2008 (dang, the years are starting to accelerate out of control!) and here’s my first post. For those of you who caught me, thanks for your hospitality…

Recently was turned on to virtually unknown comics genius Fletcher Hanks thanks to the wonderful Fantagraphics compilation, I Shall Destroy All the Civilized Planets: The Comics of Fletcher Hanks. Hanks, by all accounts a vicious drunk who regularly beat his wife and son before abandoning them sometime in the ’30s, was one of the unsung…

Media Blasters recently packaged together all of their Ray Dennis Steckler DVD releases into two box sets unimaginatively titled Midnight Movies 1 and 2. The sets’ price point ($13 from Deep Discount) was enough to make me double dip on a couple of previously owned titles and finally allowed me to watch, for the first…

Evel Knievel made the news two times in the past two days…unfortunately the last time was news regarding his death. The man the Snake River Canyon couldn’t kill was finally felled by a pernicious cocktail of diabetes, pulmonary fibrosis and hepatitis C today (11/30). He was 69. Joel Muskovich has created a suitably tasteful salute…

The new web setup has necessitated a purge of sorts, for yours truly. I had a backlog of “stuff” to shove out onto the site…and then I was basically barred from my domain due to technical issues… But anyway, I just wanted to apologize to my readers about the sloppiness in the last couple of…
