This Week's Link That's Probably Not That Great
Kevin Mitchell Story - A tale about the '86 Met that may or may not be true. I like to believe it.

 

 

This Week's Movie You've Probably Never Seen
Black Point (2001)

God, David Caruso kicks major ace. This movie starts with him drinking in a bar and telling everyone to go eff themselves. It only gets better from there. It's all about drug dealing, love, raging alcoholism and bitter, bitter regret. You will not regret spending quality time with this flick.

Love, Bif

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Week's Record You're Probably Not Listening To
Howard Jones - No One Is To Blame 12" (1986)

If I had to list some of the secret gems in my record collection, there's a few 12" singles that would make the cut. For a short time in the 80's, bands put out 12" records that played at 45rpm and they all sound fantastic. I don't know what it is, but that combo yields some really amazing audio. And, they always contained sweet remixes or non-album tracks. I have a bunch of Talking Heads singles in this format, and a few Howard Jones ones as well. This is my favorite, not only because I love this song, but because this single doesn't even bother to include the album version of the track. There's the "Extended Mix" and the "Long Mix." Awesome move. Also includes the instrumental "The Chase, " which is a non-album b-side.
