By 1984, Media was on a roll, hitting home runs with titles that appealed in many categories. It now had home video rights to titles from Cannon (everything from Mannequin to the Cannon Fairy Tales series) and New Line Cinema (most notably the first five Nightmare on Elm Street films). The company also released certain films of New World Pictures before it launched its own label (the C.H.U.D. movies), United Film Distribution Company (Choke Canyon, Day of the Dead) and an uncredited TriStar
In 2000, Arista celebrated its 25th year as a record company. The year was marked both by joy and misfortune: both involved Clive Davis. The joy came in the fact that he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a non-performer. The misfortune came via L.A. Reid: BMG put him in the seat long-occupied by Davis at the end of the year. Not one to give up so easily, he started J Records, an independent label with financial backing from Arista parent Bertelsmann Music Group. BMG would buy
Ben Minnotte's Oddity Archive is one of the most successful web series ever produced. His program discusses (and then mocks) the various odd, obscure and obsolete areas of TV, Music, Film and Technology.
One of Oddity Archive's many sub-series is VHS Vault, or, as I'd like to call it, Why Did These Tapes Exist?
In this installment of the series, we go over two notable party videos.
News update with presenter Stan Stovall from the NBC station in Baltimore (which ceased to be one on August 30, 1981 before becoming one again in 1995). Preceded by an incomplete promo for the TV film Elvis and the Beauty Queen (which looks complete shit by having seen the promo).
Video release of the original Star Wars film (it's been said this is before George Lucas wrecked it; no, most of the people who said that are not Disney shills). The tape (as with every other German tape) is in PAL format, and, as such, will do everything in its power to NOT work properly in my VCR.
The Islamic State has reportedly outlawed football referees in one of its Syrian strongholds because of a newly-known belief that FIFA rules are “in violation of the commands of Allah” . . . I'm sitting here going ''WTF?''
Conservative radio host Michael Savage has high hopes for a Donald Trump presidency, urging the GOP nominee yesterday to “rule by decree” and to pick Savage for a post in his administration if he is elected.
His intention?
As shown here, it's to do the very thing that he doesn't like very much.
What is this thing you ask?
Suppressing free speech.
The uploader of the video "had to fuck about with [his] VCR because it had broke on [him] and [he] thought the mechanism was pretty interesting so [he] filmed a short video." The result is nothing short of masterful, a 2 1/2 minute demonstration of how the way in which a VHS tape interacts with the VCR and it will amaze you all the way through.
"I rowed the boat around and around and did it my way!"
Nightly newscast from the NBC affiliate in Sacramento, CA, is anchored by Bob Whitten, with Mary Richardson consumer reports, Tom DuHain weather and Pete Liebengood sports.
One of the earliest users I followed on FIMFiction was a woman named Bookish Delight. She's not been here since May of 2016. However, out of left field, she put up a new blog post yesterday evening at 7:49 Arizona time. The blog post she wrote on that day read as this:
Been a while, I know. Is anyone still listening on this frequency?
Thunderbolt Sentinel is a man who I expected to agree with me given the many times where we have established common ground with each other. Actually, yes, he did agree with me:
While I personally didn't think the voice work was great in your first video, I know it'll improve with time. You need to get more feeling into your words, and I mean that mostly to
American. The Music Corporation of America was founded in 1924, as a booking agency, by Jules Stern. It began issuing records in 1962, when it bought the US branch of Decca, which included the Coral and Brunswick labels; it brought all three together in 1973, under the MCA name. More acquisitions followed: the ABC group in 1979; Chess in 1985; and Motown in 1988 (though they sold it on in 1993). In 1995 MCA itself was bought, by the Seagram company. Seagram dropped the MCA name,
Inspired by Oddity Archive, these are variants of a Sneak Prevue promo for D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994).
OPENED UP: Redd Foxx at Home, on MF Records. I don't know what year this is from, but I guess this is from before Redd had a famous TV show, SANFORD & SON; beforehand he was the KING of the dirty when it came to LPs. It's "Electronically Re-Channeled to Simulate Stereo" apparently.
No Chanukah song because I think you're all tired of hearing it by now.
Two German CD offers for a couple of Sony compilation albums: one for an R&B compilation (this is Volume II of a series; I found that out when trying to look it up on Discogs) and another for German folk music - complete with a host(ess)! These are very interesting European releases from Sony.
