Thanks so much for sharing the concert pic with ppl dressed as Abraham Lincoln that's just awesome! I'll have to share the gaybar track now.
So is this vid best watched in public, loud, amongst strangers? Or maybe with the parents of a new friend? Perhaps when your boss is doing an office review? Or just no context email it to them?
Edgar Wright puts great unique material up on the screen.
Cornetto trilogy:
Shaun of the Dead,
Hot Fuzz,
World's End.
The way soundtrack powers narrative in Baby Driver.
Everything about Spaced.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is so uniquely Wright's stamp on director, producer, co-writer for screenplay. An unashamed slice of pop-culture magical realism.
I had all Van Halen on LPs. Putting them on to mixtape cassettes.
Through 80s every new Van Halen release eagerly anticipated by me. Often on play in my clone walkman (Sanyo maybe? Fake grey metal plastic chunky with sharp corners that could be uncomfortable & had a record function too I remember).
Find! Remastered video gem with colour & aspect corrected video & enhanced audio.
It's more of an underground hardrock cathedral, than a rabbit hole tbh. Full of smashing drums, the intricate pulsing guitar, deep bass, and those massive vocals.
This one is particularly good for 1978 video, retouched, reframed & remastered with enhanced audio.
Eddie Van Halen, just a hurricane on that guitar. This is a 1978 Van Halen promo piece for their debut album, with some Eruption and then the track. Cleaned up & remastered visuals & sound. Very cool for such an old piece of footage.
I'm mid teens. I'm not supposed to be anywhere near London, let alone in this tiny basement club on Charing Cross Rd with what feels like several hundred over capacity packed in & moshing.
This little known LA band are just absolutely rocking the place so hard the air is humid & condensing into droplets from the ceiling.
The Blood Sugar Sex Magik album was just part of the soundtrack fabric of that year. Getting ready to go out, or on a portable stereo in some field, or hanging out with friends.

There's raw depths of emotion & experience in how she sings that just reach right in to me & pull bits loose sometimes. Seems true for others too.
