I’m a bit limited because a good chunk of his music isn’t available on spotify, but I made a playlist with what is on there!

includes pre-alanis demos with his first band, foo fighters, his solo projects, his beautiful voice, quite a bit of his session work, and some interviews/podcasts he was on ❤️

(1982) Fear - New York’s Alright If You Like Saxophones

(x) HOW FEAR GOT BANNED FROM SNL:

John Belushi lobbied Lorne Michaels to let punk band Fear be the musical guest for the Halloween 1981 show of Saturday Night Live. From Ultimate Classic Rock, apparently Belushi was "determined to make the show as authentically punk as possible." He did so by getting dozens of punk fans to slam dance during their performance.

The mosh pit frightened the SNL audience members and the punk fans caused thousands of dollars of damages to the set. One of the fans also grabbed the mic and shouted words you can't say on TV on TV. Then the network switched to a prerecorded Eddie Murphy sketch. Although Belushi was the catalyst, the band took the heat, and Fear was permanently banned from the show.

Black Moon Rising (1986)

"Mr. Quint and I go back a ways. We used to be... what, in competition?"

"I never considered you competition, Marvin."

"Aw, that's not nice, Quint. We had our moments."

"You must've had yours in private."

TLJ is a good charismatic lead‚ and apparently adlibbed a lot #of his own dialogue (but was also reportedly difficult to work with and particularly clashed with Hamilton; he was struggling with #alcoholism during filming) and there's a lot of heavy hitters in that cast but it perhaps spreads itself too thin: i always enjoy seeing #Keenan Wynn turn up (and this was his final film) but his character is under developed and adds nothing to the plot‚ and should #probably have been cut... and maybe more time given to Robert Vaughn's big villain‚ whose deeper motives (beyond stealing fancy cars)#remain largely unexplored. the super duper future car is pretty cool‚ even if it does test the limits of belief at times. idk i think it's #just taking itself a little too seriously in places‚ forgetting to have fun with what is essentially a pretty silly idea. this was a john #carpenter script‚ but his involvement ended there; can't help but feel that if he'd directed it then it would have been more successful #and matched the campy tone of Christine or They Live. a slightly missed opportunity but not a waste of time by any means

spooky tuesday is a (now not so new!) podcast where we’re breaking down all of our favorite slashers, thrillers, monster movies and black comedies on the new scariest day of the week.

nobody’s doing it quite like clue (1985), the first movie ever based on a board game. probably because it quite literally set the precedent for its (admittedly pretty tiny) genre, but it did also borrow a lot from the murder mysteries that came before it. on this week’s installment of spooky tuesday, we’re paying homage to previous whodunits, exploring how this box office flop became a cult classic, shouting out all of the incredible stars, and doing our best not to spend the entire episode swapping our favorite quotes from the film.

give spooky tuesday a listen on apple podcasts, spotify, iheart radio, or stitcher
