Wasn't Movie Macabre revived for a while? Or is it still going?

I'm a mere serf here in the hall, but Joe Bob had that B drive-in thing on Showtime (that I rarely got to see) and then Monstervision which I never missed (still got VHS's of almost every Toho movie they showed). I remember Up All Night Being hosted by Rhonda Shear and consequently don't recall a lot about the movies for two very large reasons.

Anyone remember the Tom Snyder Show before the days of David Letterman?

Yeah. I always liked the Tom Snyder show, but before he got cancelled they tried to revamp the show, to attract a younger audience I'm assuming. He had on some great guest like the Plasmatics, The Clash, Johnny Rotten etc. From all accounts Tom hated that run of the show.

Anyone watch American Bandstand around that time? They also had some surprising guests. It was pretty funny watching a bunch of disco kids trying to pretend to rock out to Molly Hatchet.

Those are on DVD for very cheap. Definitely worth picking. Some real strange mix of guests, like Paul Weller and Joan Jett together and shit like that.

A friend of mine recently mentioned over brunch having seen the the Plasmatics at a free show at whichever Florida school has the Gators. He dropped it like it was no biggie that he saw WOW blow up a car at his school...

I just read a section in the Ace Frehley book, No Regrets, where he talks about how when KISS was on there he was drunk and had a great time shooting the shit with Tom while Gene got all pissy.

Going through some old boxes of mine, weeding out stuff, I discoverd a journal that I kept for part of my sophomore year in high school. It must have been a Christmas present.

Looking it over, I discovered that I was reading a lot of Michael Moorcock, watching Monty Python movies, screwing around with Bulletin Board systems, and, most importantly, I purchased:

March of the Saint on 1/4/86
Metal Church on 1/12/86
Hell Awaits on 1/26/86 (and ordered Let them Eat Metal that same day)
Master of Puppets on 3/9/86
Hair of the Dog on 3/16/86
The Creeping Death ep on 4/2/86
Kill 'Em All on 4/13/86

Interestingly, I was listening to a lot of Slayer in this time period and was very angry that one friend had promised to lend Haunting the Chapel to me, but it went home with another friend. I was spending a lot of time making sure that all the Slayer recordings were on the same tape, etc.

Also, I was very impressed that one of the BBS's that was going to come online had a whole megabyte of message base! That means that they could store 200 messages!

Probably haven't listened to that record in 20 years. Interestingly, that was a CD and not vinyl. I must have been feeling rich.

Anyway, the only songs I could name off it kow are the Everly Brothers cover, "Hair of the Dog", Please Don't Judas Me".

Man i wasn't buying CDs at all. Only CD i had forever was REIGN IN BLOOD.

We pretty much mirror each other at that time, except I was listening to Possessed more than anything and watching Evil Dead and Nightmare on Elm St non-stop.

Ha! Dawn of the Dead, for me.

I had one of those bbs's in high school. It was called The Abyss and I was SysOp The Demon. It ran on an Atari 1200xl at 300 baud. I still have some of the printouts somewhere in a box.

What the fuck is this world coming to when I can find a rather obscure, one-man band from Norway on a streaming music service?

Furze is available on Spotify and Rhapsody. It is all too easy, now.
