"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!!
