It is fi­nal­ly nice enough
outside
for us to pay prop­er tribute
to the boy king.

 

What I love about this next song is how slack and ca­su­al it is. 

It’s like he’s mak­ing it up as he goes but he’s in the mo­ment so that ends up working.

 

And for 18 months in 77–78, the Amer­i­can pub­lic would buy lit­er­al­ly any­thing with the word ‘Gibb’ print­ed on it. 

For­tu­nate­ly, they made good stuff.

 

Not sure why I made this, but it felt right and what’s done is done.

 

Bryan Adams is go­ing to mur­der you and wear your skin as a suit while that go­daw­ful Robin Hood song plays.

 

Don­ald does Oran Juice Jones!
Sorta.

Aw shit!

 

au­gust 1990: 
A young Marc Sparks sees Pump Up the Vol­ume (1990) in the the­ater. Con­nect­ing the dots he thinks: Ra­dio. Ari­zona. Ir­rev­er­ence. MY TIME IS NOW! Leav­ing the the­ater, he stops at a Ra­dio Shack and pur­chas­es a small HAM ra­dio setup.

sep­tem­ber 1990, the sparks fam­i­ly basement:
“Who’s that?”
“It’s me, your old pal Frenchy.”
“Lis­ten, Frenchy, let me ask you some­thing. Do you like good food?”
“Oh, but of course. Uh, the French love good food.”
“Well, then, I guess that would make you an ‘Eatie Gourmet.’”

A fun­ny thing about movies that be­come more rel­e­vant over time is that its not a sin­gle curve in one direction. 

Pump Up the Vol­ume is 28 years old this year. Over the past three decades I’ve re­vis­it­ed it a half dozen times and de­pend­ing on those times its rel­e­vance has phased up and down. 

Watch­ing it this morn­ing its sur­pris­ing how it now feels even more time­ly than it did in 1990. 

The last time I watched this must have been like 8 years ago or so and at the time I had to work around the idea of mod­ern high school kids grav­i­tat­ing to a pi­rate *ra­dio* DJ in the age of so­cial me­dia, but now it feels a bit more like some­thing kids might do, as a re­ac­tion to the ubiq­ui­ty of so­cial media. 

And that’s just the sto­ry ve­hi­cle. Every­thing else hap­pen­ing in it is ever­green once more in the Trump era. 

Any­hoo, the sound­track was fuck­ing bonkers and was a huge gate­way in the ear­ly 90s nascent Alt cul­ture, so here’s one of the best tracks off it: Rollins and Bad Brains get­tin their Wayne Kramer on.

 

We were once so in­no­cent & bour­geois we al­lowed Xti­na Aguil­era to con­vince us to slather our­selves in ripped den­im & pork grease.

 

Get your oily Statham on!

 

You can look but can­not touch.

 

Sun­ny day breeze pop.

 

This one tho. 

Leon Bridges needs to get to­geth­er with Nile Rodgers and cut a full dis­co al­bum. Like immediately.

That beat just *dri­ves* and the spare gui­tar and or­gan glide thru to col­or every­thing like bokeh. 

Good to see Leon adding on to his sound rather than rest­ing on it too.

The new record is front to back great, but those two tracks show a promise and tal­ent for the dance floor that I think de­serves to to be explored.

 

And, an open let­ter to DJ Khaled.

 

And do not ever forget:

Your Body is a Won­der­land of Toy­otathon Savings!

Like fun-fet­ti. But of fuckin.
