David Austin passed this along to me. I don’t remember this but I love the fact that it’s a time capsule of what was going on in my life back then. Just because I don’t remember a lot of this doesn’t mean that I can’t tell you that this was made in both Gordo’s and…
Tomorrowpeople – Rare Videos
I wasn’t aware that these existed but they’re kind of cool. This is probably the only known footage of the original Tomorrowpeople (or the tomorrowpeople as we were sometimes known) live that I know of. Seems to have been taken at a couple of different shows from around the same era, probably early 1997. The first…

FRANCO NERO PRESENTS: Rocksteady and Roots Mix
I’ve gotten a few requests for reggae mixes over the past couple of years and for one reason or another never got around to it. Well…that’s changed. I’ve just created two mixes — count ’em — and I’m offering them for download until the authorities shut me down. FRANCO NERO PRESENTS: ROCKSTEADY SESSION VOL 1. Right…
THE JOKERS(1967)Dir: Michael WinnerStarring: Michael Crawford, Oliver Reed, Harry Andrews——————————Been reading the late Oliver Reed‘s authorized (by family, natch) bio, What Fresh Lunacy Is This? I’m mesmerized by the outrageous tales about this whale of a man…England’s pure film actor from the ’60s and ’70s, a star in his time. Ollie got his start in Hammer horrors…
Drop It
Fat Freddy’s Drop are not a band that command a lot of bandwidth in American media circles. First off, they’re from New Zealand. They rarely play the States and their 7 to 9 min song cycles aren’t what economy-minded programmers here would consider “radio friendly”. Their latest release, Blackbird actually came out last summer but thanks…
