Euro Dance Hits - 1994


Of special interest here is the very fine Rhythm Is A Dancer by Snap and also What Is Love by Haddaway which was used often on Saturday Night Live.  Perhaps you remember More And More by the Captain Hollywood Project?  Link in comments.

The Lathe Of Heaven - 1980


This was the first movie produced by American Public Television.  I loved the movie when it aired in 1980 and wanted to see it again. But it did not air and was not available for sale!  In 1987 I found a web page from a person who was willing to provide VHS copies to the faithful  and got one.  The movie went into print 13 years later and I bought the DVD.  It has gone out of print since and will probably stay that way.  Learn more about the movie here. You could download a 329MB version of the movie from YouTube but I think you will prefer the quality of this 1.58GB file instead. I blame an old version of Filzip for my problem earlier with the downloadable. Link in comments.

Cowabunga! The Surf Box - Disc 3


One more after this. Link in comments.

Cowabunga! The Surf Box - Disc 2

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
1963 was the big year for Surf music.  Link in comments.

Cowabunga! The Surf Box - 1996 - Disc 1

The first two discs are full of early gems; the third disc covers the decline of surf music in the late sixties, and the final disc gives us a survey of modern surf-revival music. I heart Rhino Records but this box is out-of-print and will probably stay that way. Link in comments.

George Van Eps' Seven-String Guitar - 1967

That extra guitar-string makes a difference. Apparently this album was distributed to radio stations such as Iowa Public Radio but no records were then pressed for public sale. The album doesn't exist on Wikipedia. Link in comments.

Kitty is a very BAD Mystic

Well, the video has been taken down, again, by one William Moore, who claims to own the video. I will not post the video to YouTube again as it will only be taken down again. Oh well. You may be able to find it elsewhere or on YouTube someday.

National Lampoon - Years 2, 3, and 4

Archive.Org has posted all the issues of the magazine for anyone with an internet connection to read. So someone should post all the issues as PDF so they can be enjoyed offline as well. It might be practical for that someone to bundle them up in 1GB zip files. Link in comments.

Dark Side Of The Rainbow

This is also known as Dark Side of Oz or The Wizard of Floyd and refers to the pairing of the Pink Floyd album Dark Side of the Moon with the film The Wizard of Oz. It results in moments in which the two seem to correspond. Visit Wikipedia to learn more about the claims of synchronicity.

The Youtube version of this video is muddy and I wanted to make a better one available. A person who works in DVD authoring made this for us. The resulting video tastes great and is less filling at 396MB. Link in comments.
