This Week's Link That's Probably Not That Great
Pain - "Pain" - I hope John can save punk rock from itself.

 

This Week's Movie You've Probably Never Seen
The Homeboy (1999)

While this was supposed to be a comedy I am pretty sure that I never laughed at it one time. It is the story of a one hit wonder white rapper who seeks career help from a washed up 80's British rapper named Hoolie Hooligan. Sounds great, huh? There were two things in the movie that at least raised the semblance of a smile on my face. The first was the video of what is supposed to be his early 90's hit, which was intentionally somewhat comical (think Snow). The second was every time "Downtown" Julie Brown appeared on screen it was like you could almost see her asking herself, "How did my career come to this?" How indeed.

Love, Biff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Week's Record You're Probably Not Listening To
Frank Potenza - Soft & Warm (1987)

When one guy on the record plays "computer-controlled synthesis" and flugelhorn, you know you're in for something special. Especially when they do midi versions of such loved songs as "California Dreamin'" and "Somewhere Out There." Yeah, the song from that movie about the mouse. Luckily Frank throws in some Potenza originals to keep it from getting bogged down with tracks that have discernible melodies and progressions. "Be My Love" and "Soft and Warm" are really just two of the worst songs I have ever heard in my life. The innocent victim here is clearly the kitten, who was told he was posing for a Hallmark card. Speaking of posing, check out a hot pic of Frank right here.
