I finally got around to watching this -- pretty amazing. But I can't help thinking that Terence Tent D'Arby is watching somewhere, kicking himself and saying, "Damn, I used to sing just like that!"

TANC: Ian McDiarmid, the actor who played the evil Emperor in Episode 3, won a Tony award last nite.

He still does sing like that, actually, but he does so out of earshot.  Under his new name of Sananda Maitreya, he lives and records in Italy, and some of his stuff in recent years has been quite excellent.  Alas, he suffers from the same affliction as Joni Mitchell and doesn't recognize how arrogant he comes off in interviews, rendering a somewhat unsympathetic character for a career revitalization.  I nearly did some work with him a couple years ago but his press guy was a blithering dim-bulb whom I've since come to suspect was bait-and-switching me to try and garner some attention for his other projects.

wow! that looks like fun! though the outfits aren't really suitable for dancing. i hope their live show is more amplified. i love that man's voice. his solo album wasn't so hot, but ididn't really care with a voice like that. see also: his duet with lauryn hill on santana's supernatural. and, of course, the goodie mob.

I always forget that I have VH-1 Classic on my cable -- it's up in the 400s somewhere, right after the pay sports channels, so I'm not usually clicking around up there.  But I was this evening and was just in time for a half-hour of Erasure videos. Yowsah!

I also discovered that I now have "Country Music Television Pure", apparently CMT's mostly-videos channel. Dunno how long it's been there; I still don't have regular CMT, sadly.  But I wish Comcast would be more pro-active about telling me when they're adding new stuff. (Guess that's too much to ask.)

Per Brad Kava in the Merc, VH-1 Classic is running the entire first 24 hours of MTV's premiere day from 1981 to celebrate the 25th anniv. It began at midnight. And they'll run it again this Saturday starting at 9am.

Decisions, decision: KCSM showing Concert for Bangladesh and one of the cable channels showing Flash (ahh-ahhh!) Gordon.  So I watched about 15 min of Flash (I'd never seen it, amazingly) and lord was it godawful.  Belongs on a double-bill with Xanadu.

Ah, but CFB -- wow. Caught the last half and it brought it all back. I remember taking the subway into Manhattan during Easter break in '72 and seeing the movie; they showed it on a huge screen, and they had taken a 35mm print and blown it up to 70mm. So it was rather grainy. It actually looked better on TV tonite.

KQED just devoted 2 hours of precious airtime to a concert by... an Aussie Pink Floyd cover band. WTF????  Your tax dollars at work :roll:

Interestingly, KTEH is showing the real PF (from 1994) later tonight.

ETA: and (hooray) KQED followed the Faux Floyd with another showing of Concert for Bangladesh. This time I caught Billy Preston's showstopping rendition of "That's the Way God Planned It" and Ringo flubbing the lyrics to "It Don't Come Easy" (well, not when you're trying to drum and sing at the same time, it don't).

I did double-take reading about a cover band, and looked into it, and it's pretty bizarre:

http://www.aussiefloyd.com/

They're called the Australian Pink Floyd Show, but they relocated to the UK, and they appear to play big gigs, not little clubs.  I kinda wished I caught a little of it.  The real Pink Floyd: Pulse on TV is pretty cool too.

I have to think that their playing film that was not entirely coincidental. They're coming thru here, playing the Paramount in Oaktown in Sept or Oct.

Btw, Jeff Beck is coming back to that venue in late September as well.

I'm watching the Simpsons ep where Homer gets depressed about being an old relic :

"But everybody remembers Grand Funk, don't they? Mark Farner's wild, shirtless lyrics, the bong-rattling bass of Mel Schacher, and the competent drum work of Don Brewer".

...and takes the kids to Hullabalooza to see Cypress Hill and Smashing Pumpkins.

Bart: "Making teenagers depressed -- that's like shootin' fish in a barrel!"

This has cheered me up immensely.

Have we already talked about using "Everlasting Love" in a commercial for Pringles?
