Just in time for Spooky Season, Shane Archer Reed got the chance to do an awesome collaboration with two other amazing artists from central New York. Roscoe Red and Ashley Rose! We covered “Monsters” by All Time Low, blackbear and Demi Lovatoo! And here is the result!
Big thanks to Ian Brown for producing the track and Tony Grande for shooting the video!
(tv series review) Catch 22 is a great new adaptation of classic novel!
Classic Joseph Heller novel is being re done for television in this six part tv series that brings us back to WWII times exploring adventures and misadventures of Yossarian and his friends as American bomber crews in the heat of World War Two. What I love about this series is that all six episodes are greatly even written, there is absolutely no filler episodes and no boring parts that so many series have while you wait for the main storyline to come about. Well, Yossarian only wants to survive and come home again and finish the number of missions that Col. Cathcart only elevates all the time. He manages to fake sickness, get shot in testicles, survive jumping out of the plane, shagging General Scheisskopf s wife, lose friends and tries to stay sane in the horrors of war. Cast is excellent from Christopher Abbot as Yossarian to veterans like George Clooney, Hugh Laurie and Giancarlo Giannini. Best of all are characters. So many different colorful characters like Major Major Major Major to bootlegger Milo and dialogue is full of humor but serious at the same time and I love every single minute watching this series. Unfortunately I didn t read the book, but this series was a blast. I will also have to see the older movie with the same title anytime soon. Great one if you love war themed series!
(retro review) The Penguins – Anthology The Definitive Collection
Not many people who know me are aware that besides horrorpunk, one of the other music genres I love so much is doo wop. In this retro review series I will try to bring closer bands and singers I love so much. The Penguins are certainly one of them. They were active in the fifties and sixties and were based in LA. Their greatest hit was of course Earth Angel, song you must have heard lot of times, used in Back To The Future movie series. This is 2 cd definitive remastered collection that came out in 2020 containing practically complete discography of this often underrated band which did quality doo wop and certainly are a must for all beginners and also die hard fans of the genre. Songs like Cool Baby Cool, Heart of a Fool, I Ain t Gonna Cry No More and many others besides best known Earth Angel are sure to win you over.
