I’ve always been a horror movie/book fan, but more
so a few years back. I have a whole bunch of Stephen
Kink books and some cult DVDs (American Werewolf in
London anyone?) but its not like I actively search
or add to my wishlist this type of stuff.

But after a discussion a few days ago with some friends
about B series movies (like Atack of the Killer Tomatoes),
I was reminded of 2 items that I had to search for and
earmark for future acquisition.

The Groovie Ghoulies
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groovie_Goolies

My favorite cartoons on Saturday TV, back in the
late 70s, early 80s. I was about 12 and the penchant
for geeky stuff already shown through.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_Klowns_from_Outer_Space
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095444/

A hilarious horror movie from the middle 80s. I remember
seeing it on TV and getting hooked both on the inane scenes
and the theme song.

Its not often that you find an album with 5 hit singles
and 5 videoclips taken out of it. “Bridge of Spies” by
T’Pau is one of the few examples. With beautiful songs and
a redhead singing them, its a must.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_Of_Spies

These are the 5 videos:

T’pau – Heart and Soul
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJK7dMSd31k

T’pau – Bridge Of Spies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EARm7TkZj8

T’pau – Valentine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c9UwwhIkTM

T’Pau. China In Your Hand
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvElWJJS6po

T’pau – I Will Be With You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99uh6WZRR0Y

Plus you also have the live promo for “Sex Talk”:

T’pau – Sex Talk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxbPotK9_pY

Its almost the complete album right there.
Oh, and guess what year it was released? You bet, 1987…

Quando for grande quero saber tocar assim:

Yngwie Malmsteen – Far Beyond the Sun
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij8QaLytHCg

E se alguem e menos rock oriented e duvida do
virtuosismo do sujeito, e ve-lo aqui com a Filarmonica
Japonesa:

Yngwie Malmsteen – Far Beyond The Sun
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbHc5i4O2tc

Da vontade de um gajo passsar a usar a guitarra como
mesa para servir cafe.

Ah e note-se: ele chama-se “Yngwie J. Malmsteen” (e como
vem no album), que e para se distinguir dos muitos outros
guitarristas chamados Yngwie e que tocam bue…
