Cult Films and Midnight Movies "From High Art to Low Trash" Vol 1 By Tom Baker How in the hell do you review such a film? It's nonsense, a psychedelic, surrealistic mess that unfolds in sleazy video ugliness before the outraged viewer. Is it good? Yes. It's quite entertaining.

Time Heals all wounds is a slogan from a Greek play and not a reality, but music can help
People can be cruel when attempting to help After the death of my husband, whom I loved for 45 years, I found out that people attempting to help me said fierce things. I was told to "get over it" to "move on" and asked why I had not married again. The worst was "Time heals all wounds."

Classical Ruination
Introduction This was getting a few reads on Seven Days In and I thought I could turn it into a sort of playlist of modernish songs and the classical pieces that they were lifted from. I will start with the Apollo 100 take on Bach's "Jesu Joy Of Man's Desire" simply retitled "Joy" but it is a favourite piece of mine, but this does give you the opportunity to compare.

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.
