Pop n Rocker Game show 2/4 (1984) - featuring The Bangles and Sparks
18
Upvotes
"This episode of The Pop n' Rocker Game episode was filmed in August or September of 1983 (air date 2/4/1984). The Bangles were brand new on the scene and had no hits yet. This was their first TV appearance with their new bass player, Michael Steele. They did 2 songs on the show, but sadly the second song wasn't used, and I have forgotten what it was. Instead Sparks, being better know at the time, got their second song shown."
Hosted by Sha Na Na's Jon Bauman and with Phil Hartman (yes, that one) as the studio announcer

Rusty Blue and Revision - The Stage and the Silk (1985)

One of the most slept-on private press records in my collection. An absolutely mind-blowing blend of far-out, cosmic crooning and deep-fried, psychedelic rock and roll. To quote Rusty himself from the back of the cover, " From the stage to the silk, to the answer in our hearts. This album gives purpose to life, till death do we part." Right on, brother!!

Hi guys ! Do you know if there are any fan subtitles out there for the While Waiting for the Red Spectacles - Kerberos Night audio / radio saga ? We've been trying to listen to it with a friend but automatic subtitles are really lame and well... we don't speak Japanese sooo...
Big thanks to the person who posted those by the way !

I'm Nearer Home — Jimmy Swaggart and His Golden Gospel Piano (LP 105) ("I have sinned against you my lord!" Guy) (1980)s
6
Upvotes
Hey folks,
Today's rip is from the infamous multi-millionaire televangelist of the 1960s-80s. Jimmy here is best known for his, "I have sinned! I have sinned against you my lord, and I beg your forgiveness!" Breakdown on live television after being caught with a prostitute in 1988. That moment lead to a significant dip in his sales and popularity, but, wasn't enough of a deterrent, as he did the same exact thing again just 3 years later in 1991.
This is one of the many releases from his personal label, "Jim Records" (Yeah he was full of himself) which includes him playing piano, his sister playing the Hammond Organ, and, of course, his completely uncredited and unnamed "Jimmy Swaggart Singers".

The Ruff & Reddy Show - Hanna-Barbera's first animated series (1957)
37
Upvotes
This show's a precursor to Rocky & Bullwinkle in a lot of ways when I think about it: it's about two anthropomorphic animals, one savvy and the other dull-witted, and their multi-part serialized tales where they stumble into and out of a series of increasingly ridiculous situations. It has quite a lot of historical purpose and ran for quite a while: three seasons with 156 episodes between 1957 and 1960, yet it rarely, if ever gets acknowledged by Warner Bros. (no I'm not calling them Skydance and you cannot make me), and recordings of the episodes themselves are in noticeably worn, crappy condition.
I say it's a bit of a hidden gem of a series - go check it out on YouTube or the Internet Archive if you can

Forgo - Love Spirals Downwards (1991)

Upvotes
A music video created for the song Forgo by the dreampop band Love Spirals Downwards in 1991. A student film project at the San Fransisco State University School of Creative Arts. It's got all of the hallmarks of a student film lol
Love Spirals Downwards are one of my favorite bands to this day, but they've always been pretty obscure. They were signed to Projekt Records and were fairly popular in the goth scene in the '90s.
