Classic Rock From The Kinks Provided the Guidance I Needed To Get Through
In 1978, my brother came home with Misfits by a classic rock band known as the Kinks. I didn’t understand the retched look rock stars took on at the time to stick it to the man, but fortunately I had no control of the stereo. This, because Ray Davies would make a career of writing songs about me. I simply got to survive.

January 2017 Essential Playlist
So, as I promised, I am going to be doing a playlist of songs I have discovered or been obsessed with each month. 2017 has GOT to be better than 2016, right? I mean come on. 2016 might have been the most depressing year in history... even if I can make your month a little teeny tiny weeny bit better with some of my favourite tunes to dance, cry, play or fuck to, then I feel like I am doing my part.

Best Music Videos of the 70s
The idea that music could be merged with motion pictures had been in existence for some time back in the 60s but only came to be a reality in the music videos of the 70s. In the 1940s, nightclub patrons could view Duke Ellington and Fats Waller soundies. The coming of television in the 1950s had a great impact on pop music, making it popular and accessible to a larger audience. This saw the evolution of epic pop music shows such as Soul Train, American Band Stand, and Top of the Pops. The music industry is very dynamic and with time, it evolved as technology advanced. By the early 70s, many artists were producing simple short promotional films. Some of these films, which went viral when they were released, were Rain and Paperback Writer.

Best Horror Anime TV Shows
While many of us (particularly ladies) are allured by chick flicks where Prince Charming and his “damsel in distress” fall head over heels in love, bravely face the agonizing dilemma of being torn apart, and ultimately rejoice in reunion towards the end of the series, there is a whole group of people who prefer to revel in nauseating blood-bath scenes full of undead zombies, possessed-with-evil deadites, and brimming with darkseekers (a hybrid between a vampire and a zombie).

Totoro: Divine! Divine! Open Up a Path!
Shortly before my son returned home from his three years work term in Japan, he sent back a few boxes with clothes and books he accumulated over that period. He used Japan’s postal service for that and, trying to save a few bucks, he paid the surface rate, you know, the one where they stuff every other box coming this way in a container and it reaches our shores somewhere in the West Coast. A few strange things happened to their content between Osaka and the boxes being routed our way by the U.S.P.S. … Think of that part of the plot of the movie The Fly where Seth decides to test his teleportation machine himself and a housefly hitchhikes the ride with him and their DNA becomes fused.
