Reruns

So now it's a number of months since the previous post.

There's been laughter and tears and I did the thing that is the driving force behind this exercise. I digitized a fuck load of records. I made them into 320k mp3s, tagged them appropriately , scanned sleeves and generally organized things in my own peculiar, but anal retentive way. It was fabulous.

All of which is meaningless to you, dear reader, because time doesn't exist for you in the same way on the intertubes. There are no gaps. There is only now and a continuous stream of the eternal Now-ness of this rambling piss stream of forgotten music.

Meanwhile, I'm beginning afresh with a newly minted stack of things penciled in to slide out uncontrollably like so many half squelched farts in a crowded elevator. They're currently set to silently but deadly the blogosphere until the end of next February.

Or at least will as soon as I type this shit out which will take for-fucking-ever if I keep babbling.

Let us begin in earnest:


Angel & the Reruns (1983)

Yeah, a couple of Nu-Wave musical tributes to those ancient TV shows that played in endless syndication during one's formative years as a young child. (Well, for me perhaps. I'm old as fuck.)
Bring on the camp of Angel and the Reruns

One side about Leave It To Beaver about as white bread a sitcom as the 50's ever churned out and the other side a sad tribute to the late Anissa Jones former clean cut child star of the innocuous Family Affair sitcom. It was a sad tale.

But if you're Angel and the Reruns, you can certainly count yourself as a music biz success if you managed to get one of your songs onto the soundtrack of a Tom Hanks movie.

Even if it's the one where his costars are Tawny Kitaen, best known for writhing on a car hood in that Whitesnake video and Adrian Zmed, best known for his starring roles in TJ Hooker with William Shatner and his unforgettable turn in the internationally acclaimed "Grease 2".

It was still a fucking Tom Hanks movie, dammit.





Another Pretty Face. Another fucking single. Here's the second one to go with the one I posted like two years ago. You're welcome.
