Oh man! A random early-evening excursion with my wife and son pays off! I grew up in Massachusetts, so I spent a lot of time watching WSBK TV38 and WLVI 56 a lot when I was a kid, with some of the Worcester Channel 27 mixed in. THIS was a regular staple on both 56 AND 38 over the years, and every time it was on, I’d watch it. Seeing it on BluRay got me extremely sentimental, and I HAVE to grab it. I probably haven’t seen it since ‘89 or ‘90. We’re gonna find out real quick how it’s aged as a film for me, but just physically having it makes me very happy. Sometimes, you just need to watch a group of ragtag companions invade an alien fortress in order to save a bride (AND your own planet). If you’ve never seen Krull, it’s got VERY YOUNG versions of Liam Neeson and Robbie Coltrane (R.I.P.) in it. Finding this is making me way too happy. 😂 #movies #film #films #1980s #80s #80smovies #sciencefiction #fantasy #retro #vintage #krull

A brief departure from my usual fare of neglected 1920s songs this time, prompted by reading that it's fifty years since Australian art school band Mental As Anything got together. It was a toss-up as to whether I picked this song or their 1979 track "The Nips Are Getting Bigger," but in the end I opted for the more widely known of the two, written by the late Greedy Smith, which achieved international success after featuring in "Crocodile Dundee." It's a quite beautiful, uplifting piece that benefits from also being tremendously catchy, paired with a goofily stylish video that was perfect for the booming MTV era. As for playing it, basically G, Em, D and C are your companions throughout, aside from F#m and Bm making a single appearance each in the middle eight. https://youtu.be/g5B8AFvWk8Y #Ukulele #MentalAsAnything #1980s

San Francisco Orgy (1983) by Le Salon video. Starring Adam Gray, Rich Addams, and others. The post SFO: San Francisco Orgy first appeared on Collectors Realm 3.

Remember when they experimented with audio simulcast of TV shows on an FM radio station? Back in the days of CRT and single mono speakers. I distinctly remember a Calgary TV and FM station duo doing this for the tv-movie premier thing of Miami Vice. #80s #1980s

I am in Alexa’s hands now, and I kind of like it. I don’t even have a safe word. #NowPlaying #1980s #Rockwell

Moved into the kitchen as I’m cooking, and with the fan on I can’t really hear the main hifi from here so I have to use this nonsense. But, I have instructed Alexa to continue the 1980s. The 1980s can not, MUST not stop. #NowPlaying #Prince #1980s #JonsCookingMusic
