Kiss Me Kate

Several weeks ago at Lance Mannion’s there was a mention of The Taming of the Shrew and a pointing to Self Styled Siren’s review of “Kiss Me Kate”, the 1953 movie with Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson. When I saw it was VIEW NOW at Netflix, I thought it might be fun to watch with…

He was never on any pedastal for me anyway…

Well this possibly explains why I never read Ray Bradbury after I was fifteen years old. By the time I was in tenth grade I’d already decided there was something not right there (I don’t recall what, since I’ve not read him since I was fifteen). In an August 2001 interview with Salon, Bradbury said…

Mean Mister Mustard-Polythene Pam-She Came in Through the Bathroom Window and You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away – covers by Catastrophic Audio

The last of the circa 1995 messy unauthorized covers, by Catastrophic Audio, of Beatles tunes. Particularly bodacious, messy, and best listened to aggravatingly loud… #11. Mean Mister Mustard – Polythene Pam – She Came In Through The Bathroom Window. And lastly (always better than last)… #12. You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away. Vocals by…

The Blues

There’s so little in the world that manages to take my breath away. Many things I find beautiful, many things inspire awe, but little that takes the breath away. I was listening to Bach’s Violin Concerto in A when I clicked on a link in my NASA Science News talking about a spacecraft heading to…

Goofus and Gallant Gordon and Innocent Bystander Talk About The White House's Lack of Luv for Satellites Used For Gathering Data on Global Warming

Innocent Bystander: Help! Will, someone not help us?! The White House has arranged it so we are scaling way back monitoring climate change from space which means a perilous loss of data!

The Night Before – another Catastrophic Audio cover

Wasn’t going to post this one but Marty convinced me to. I like the chorus but when I hear what else I did to it, especially at the end there, I feel like our ever reincarnating cockroach, Fred, scuttling as the light hits. Except for last night, finally caught in the bathroom, on the rug…

When Worlds Collide (a plodding movie deserves a plodding blog, I guess)

The credits to “When Worlds Collide” are backed by flames, lots of flames, then smoke, blue streams of it against black, looking suspiciously like lurking under the bottom of the screen are positioned a number of special effects techs puffing away on packs of Camels. And for some reason, donâ€™t ask me why, I wonder…

Flash Gordon

“Mom, look what I found!” H.o.p., who has felt bad all day, and finally upchucked, not too long ago, every bit of food that went in his stomach since he got up, is feeling suddenly ALL BETTER (still, take it easy there) and comes trotting up to me with my old Star Trek episode guide.…
