Rocktober Extra – The Majesty Of Rock
In the shade of a jungle glade
Or the rush of the crushing street
On the plain, on the foamy main
You can never escape from the beatIt’s in the mud and it’s in your blood
And it’s conquest is complete.
And all that you can do is just surrender– Spinal Tap, “The Majesty Of Rock“
Rap has beats, but rock beats rap. And lizard poisons Spock
Rocktober – Breaking Space And Time
12:30 Friday night and Halloween is near \m/
NASA has recorded the sounds of the universe. It is a hauntingly disturbing place. IO and Uranus seem especially unfriendly…
But it was not always so. At first, the darkness was silent… until terrible salvation emerged in rhythm and light and sound –
Rocktober – Nine Eternities Of Doom
It’s 12:30 am EST, another installment of Rocktober’s Friday Night Videos is here.
The first request is from Maeve –
Come As You Are
(because it creeps me out, especially when performed by Civil Twilight)
Creepy indeed, but personally I find the original more threatening, especially considering how unhinged Kurt was.*
Speaking of threatening and sinister… out of all the vampires and pirates and other assorted monsters, possibly the most dangerous is the quiet, methodical, coldly efficient killer. Like, you know, David Byrne.
Live wire he may be when he’s burning down houses, but Byrne is nothing compared to Vincent Price, who lays out his plans to the number with calculating ruthlessness –
This movie has to be seen to be believed. It’s billed as a comedy horror film, and there are some bits of humor (usually very dark), but it’s twisted as hell, and Price is absolutely convincing as a genius bent on killing.
Tonight’s feature presentation – The Abominable Dr. Phibes
* You knew it, everyone knew it, even before he died.

1st Friday Of Rocktober
It’s Rocktober and Halloween is coming. It’s Friday night 12:30 EST, time for a kickass Friday Night Video.
You do remember Friday Night Videos, don’t you? If not, you can stay but be quiet so you can learn something. In short, it was a music video show (well, yeah) that premiered in 1983 and ran through the 80s and 90s until 2002, well after MTV had stopped running music videos outside the 2AM-4AM timeslot.
Alice In Chains kicks it off –
Al Sharpton’s Boob Tube
Al gives permission – nay, orders – to stare at women’s chests.
