The Paley Brothers - Come Out And Play
YouTube video by DooWop Darrell
www.youtube.com
my name is Scotty and I've spent 20 years in love with the Power Pop genre. I'm going to post a #dailyFavoritePowerPopSong just to see how long i can go without running out.
Day 1: seems appropriate to start with the Paley Bros, since we lost Andy Paley this week.

New by me: a custom frame to house a linenbacked theatrical one-sheet for HEAD (1968), starring the Monkees, directed by Bob Rafelson, and written by Jack Nicholson.
Wood is gummy cherry.
What is HEAD all about? Only John Brockman's shrink knows for sure!

one of the greatest assets about METALLIC K.O. is that you can either accept it as-is, or take its own recommendation to fuck off
while it's therapeutic to hear the stooges get pelted with ice/eggs/bottles, the most sonically shocking part of "metallic k.o." for me might be all the borderline boogie piano by scott thurston.

There's a scene that was cut out of all versions of ALIENS: while going after Newt, Ripley finds a cocooned Burke, who begs for help. She puts a grenade in his hands & moves on.
Nowadays, I would love to see someone make it to that point in the movie and say, "That's mean, you may need his help!"

If you're watching the HBO doc on the Super Bowl Shuffle and are wondering what it was like living through the '85 Bears season in Chicagoland, let me tell you: you could send money through the mail to order your very own official G.I. Joe action figure of Richard "The Refrigerator" Perry

The 2025 "remaster" of the Beatles Anthology documentary is, sadly, a sterilized version of what was already considered to be the sanitized version of the Beatles story. The few "controversial"moments that made it through the editorial process of the original are now missing or censored.

If you want to see how quickly everyone goes into manufacturing consent mode, compare the full-court press tonight to the response to any of the people ICE has shot in the last few months, some of whom died.

yep. also really can't overstate how much nuzzi is very much the product of an environment that rewards amoral ambition and frowns on people who sincerely believe anything

Every time my wife rewatches The Gilmore Girls (at least twice a year), I watch a little bit, and based on the actions of the secondary characters, i pitch renaming the show "God, What a Bitch"

everything pretty well sucks, except for Laurel and Hardy fans, who are being spoiled with regular releases of high-def remasters. Just this week, I got LAUREL AND HARDY: YEAR 3 from Flicker Alley, and closer to Xmas, i'm expecting the first volume of restored features from Classic Flix

So apparently the "remastered" version of the Beatles Anthology coming to Disney Plus this week are edited??
The original ABC miniseries was 3 eps, running about 6 hours (with commercials)
The VHS/laserdisc/DVD version was 8 eps running 70-80 minutes each
New version is 60 min per episode...

One day, some of the kids from the neighborhood carried my mother's groceries all the way home. You know why? It was outta respect, Charlie Brown.
Where Is Your God Now, Charlie Brown?

this, but also, we're a nation of children-brained adults who think they have a unique hot take that everyone needs to hear when really they're really just lonely and want to be listened to, and this is an easy way to ruffle other children-brained adults into defending some weird idea of tradition
the “thanksgiving food is bad” discourse raises its ugly head every year, but the truth remains that thanksgiving food can be amazing as long as you know how to cook. the problem is we’re throwing a few million sunday drivers directly into a grand prix
I think this is unfair to turkey. turkey is good but hard to cook well because it is so damn big. turkey *parts* are great but lack the esthetic appeal of a centerpiece bird.
