Fu’s

Came across this today. From what my 11 seconds of research could reveal, it was included in later edits of the Return of the Living Dead, but not part of the original soundtrack.

Whatever Games I Play

The RNRHF just released a bunch of clips from this year’s induction ceremony. As you bastards may or may not remember, I don’t give two shits about that ridiculous institution, but it did give us this performance. The Cure still sounds amazing live, and Robert Smith is promising a new Cure album this year.

The clip below is included only for his good-natured sarcasm, which made me laugh. I’m sure she meant well …

Watusi Rodeo

Low-budget early-80’s fun from Athens’ Guadacanal Diary.  Features infamous midtown character Dancin’ Jimmy doing his thing outside the Antenna Club at about 0:25.  Hilarious dance sequence during the instrumental break. Makes me nostalgic for the days when bands all over the south (most notably REM) were cramming their stuff into station wagons and U-Hauls and hitting cities and college towns, playing at whatever dumps would have them.

Lawd Have Mercy

This is crazy. Also, I was scared they were going to drop it at the end of the segment.

During ROADSHOW’s 2016 stop in Salt Lake City, Utah, appraiser Grant Zahajko met Cary, the owner of a rare red variation of the 1969 Hot Wheels “Beach Bomb” prototype — whose astounding value Zahajko estimated at $100,000 to $150,000. Cary said he had owned the car for 50 years, ever since his father, who worked at Mattel Co., brought home the prototype as a gift when Cary was just a boy. In the spring of 2019, Cary met up with Zahajko again, this time to hand over his “Beach Bomb” for Zahajko to sell on his behalf. Watch the exchange and hear what it has been like for Grant to market the “holy grail of Hot Wheels.”
