Best Videos of the Eighties Part 2
Cult Films and Midnight Movies: "From High Art to Low Trash" Vol. 1 by Tom Baker 1. Pete Schilling - "Major Tom" Ye gods, this video (which clearly continues the saga of the mysterious astronaut "Major Tom," first begun by the late David Bowie who likewise chronicled the space explorer turned junkie in the two songs--"Space Oddity" and "Ashes to Ashes") is as quintessentially 1980s as it gets. Here we have footage of the Apollo Moon Landing, rocket take-offs, and orbits around the Big Blue Marble, juxtaposed with roller-skating outer space carhops bringing you a coney dog full of celestial goodness while doing their thing in a place where dry ice fog is clinging to the ground like pebbles on the surface of Le Luna. And that doesn't even begin to mention how great the song is. No one has heard from Pete Schilling since this song's release, so I assume he's Out There, Somewhere, "sitting in a tin can," with "Earth below us, drifting...floating weightless."

Top Music Videos of the Eighties
Looking back at the 1980s is a serious nostalgia trip for me. Being eleven years old or so at the nexus of MTV and the music video revolution (in an era before the world had been brought into the wild west of our looming, dystopian, cyberpunk future--though it was on the cusp) was a real mind trip. YouTube has thankfully provided the avenue in which an aging member of Generation X can look back on the pre-Grunge days when POP (in both the literal and figurative sense; i.e. Pepsi and Coke fueled the career status of so many fading into oblivion singers and artists of the era) ruled the video airwaves.

It's A Family Affair
Introduction Although with the title we should include the Sly and The Family Stone song and given the same of the band I have just realised that it is a perfect qualification for this playlist and that has just reminded me of a few bands that are made up of family members. The initial idea was to have a parent who made a record and was then eventually followed by their child into making music.

Talk "Poison" To Me
Whether you love or love to hate them, Poison became notorious in the 1980's as one of the bands that brought exposure to the genre of Glam Rock. Forming in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, Bret Michaels along with drummer Rikki Rockett and bass player Bobby Dall decided to relocate and chase their dreams, driving to Los Angeles in Bret's Ford Econoline ambulance in 1984. They would cut their teeth in the most famous bars of the Sunset Strip, eventually landing a regular gig at the legendary Troubadour club. Things were looking up for the group, but they still needed a killer guitarist to help them break away from the rest of their Sunset Strip peers. After auditioning many different axe men, it was down to just two virtuosos: an LA famous but semi-unknown C.C. DeVille, or an up and coming pre-Guns Slash.

My Top 10 John Williams Film Scores
John Williams is a Legend. Do you even know how many of the movies you've enjoyed over the years have been touched by his musical genius? From Jaws, to Star Wars, and (insert another lesser known movie), I firmly believe that these movies wouldn't even be half the successes they are if it weren't for the work that man and his team put in to ensure that every note served to elevate the scenes they played in.

She Got That Look
She got that look, but there's something about it that sets her apart from the rest. It's not just the way she carries herself or the smoldering gaze in her eyes. No, there's a darkness that lurks behind that captivating exterior—a wickedness that sends shivers down your spine.
