Whiskey A Go-Go?

Here's a Japanese ad for Suntory Whiskey from the 80's. If we only knew then that they endorsed whiskey drinks, we all could have saved ourselves Stoli hangovers!

Congrats to Herbie!

Congrats to the prolific Herbie Hancock for his Grammy win the other night! See what how successful you can be if you collaborate with Arcadia? If you want a Grammy recap, check out my other music blog!

I wish I could have found a Duran/Herbie-related video, but I couldn't even find Herbie's hosting stint on Rock School (am I going to have to dig out my VHS tapes and upload it myself, people?!?). Instead, I bring you a cool clip of Nile Rodgers and the trimmed down '86 version of Duran, talking about Notorious.

It's Super Tuesday...you know what's coming.

It's Super Tuesday here in the U.S., and you know any sort of election-related day is going to be celebrated here with some "Election Day" footage. It's just the way it has to be! I didn't make the rules, people, but I will uphold them.

Today's clip is an outstanding (and by outstanding I mean contrived, pretentious, and all kinds of other words Nick Rhodes probably uses before breakfast) "Making of Election Day" video. This "Making of..." is so great, they really should have done a "Making of..." the "Making of...".



Not enough "Election Day"? You can hear Eric Alexandrakis' version on Bangs...Sounds of the 80's (the goth/electropop version)!

Put on your time machine headphones!

Ever get the urge to listen to Duran playing Madison Square Gardens in '84 for free? Check out this link! Special thanks to my friend Harold for the link.
