As a mature adult I am willing and able to confront the psychic damage done to my fashion sense by the costumes of 1970s TV sci-fi. Top perpetrators include Space 1999, Battlestar Galactica, and Ark II.

The Coathangers The Coathangers. Atlanta, Georgia.

Footnote 1, obviously that band name is too good not to exist: thecoathangers.bandcamp.com
Footnote 2, that fear isn't real but Torschlusspanik (fear that time is running out) is a thing. Very, VERY a thing

Excellent! As a reissue producer I've been hoping for years someone would release the full soundtrack, so we could finally hear all of "Hot Dogs & Sushi", but I'm not holding my breath. Still, "My Name Is Mok" b/w "Triumph" would make a pretty great 7".

I had to fight my computer for an hour to defeat the useless DJVU-formatted images files in my "Rolling Stone Cover to Cover" data DVD set, so I can't not share! Here's Michael Azerrad's 1988 review of @negativlandland.bsky.social 's "Escape from Noise".

fake rock fact: Van Halen were commissioned to write and record the theme song for the TV show Manimal. unfortunately, their song was rejected, but, needing material for their next album, they made lemonade out of lemons by changing the lyrics. and that's the story of how we got "Panama".

"No Santa Claus...no Tooth Fairy...and NO UNCLE MIKEY"

And no "Hot Dogs and Sushi" either. Apparently the master burned up.

We single-issue archival obsessives can be annoying.

Image restoration for the brilliant new "Network" 4K Blu-ray from @criterion.bsky.social was by Prasad Corporation in Burbank. They're practically on my way home from work! Why don't I work for them? Oh, I remember, because I have no skills.

Arvo PΓ€rt and Orville Peck walk into the Urval Pub next to the R.V. park. They tell the barman "Irving! Port!" Suddenly the Consonance police burst in saying "Sir we're going to have to ask you to abandon this joke immediately"

And "Revolution 9" is the gateway drug to 100,000 of the best bands that ever melted a curious mind on a free-format radio station late at night, so I'm ignoring its streaming stats and electing it Weirdo Pope.

Going to access a 45-year-old first impression of the movie right now and guess that this guy's dialogue consisted entirely of the phrase "Kommt...kommtla"
