Gome of the Week
There are some really wishful thinkers on Craigslist. Like the person trying to sell this decade-old bookshelf system for 300 bucks. "2 tape-deck, can record from one to another or just play tapes." Wow, that is a good deal. Or, I could get this brand new for 89 dollars. Can you hold it for me? I have to sleep on it. That's what I would say if I wasn't being sarcastic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Week's Link That's Probably Not That Great
Tom Cruise Scientology Recruiting Video - He's fucking batshit crazy, etc.

 

 

This Week's Movie You've Probably Never Seen
The Promise (2005)

I loved the crap out of this flick. The special effects were crazy and the story was very original. It is a bizarre fairy tale/sci-fi/kung-fu type thing that moves very quickly. The opening battle scene alone, with the hero slave literally running circles around thousands of soldiers, is worth the rental price of admission alone. Did I mention the kung-fu? I did? Okay.

Love, Biff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Week's Record You're Probably Not Listening To
Samantha Sang - Emotion (1978)

I think I inadvertantly bought a small chunk of somebody's disco record collection. Apparently the title track from this record was a top ten hit for a week or two in 1978 and featured prominently in the Joan Collins film Stud, but I don't recognize it. This album was produced by Barry Gibb and he and Robin even wrote a couple tracks on it. And, if you listen close, you can hear their sweet, sweet harmonies butting in in the background. Oh, and I guess Destiny's Child did a cover of "Emotion" a few years back. Seems I missed that one.
