Christmas Countdown 2008: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Original Soundtrack (Decca Records, 1964)

For years, I've had a deep and heartfelt love for the Rankin-Bass "Animagic" work, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is the reason for it....

One of the things I find utterly amazing about this Christmas special (along with A Charlie Brown Christmas, which I'll talk about later this month) is the longevity of this thing. Rudolph alone has been airing continuously every holiday season for 44 years, it's first broadcast having been December 6th, 1964 on the NBC network.

I was going to rant along in this blog about the fact that a sign of the decline of our civilization in the new century can probably be traced back to the fact that It's A Wonderful Life is no longer in the public domain...Christmas just doesn't seem right these days when outside of my DVD copy, the only way I can watch Frank Capra's classic is the now-annual single broadcast that NBC provides us (who sanpped up all rights to the flick around 1992 or '93, I believe), when as a youth it was a staple of the holiday season to see it broadcast multiple times all over the television dial, especially on those crazy independent stations on the UHF band, and....outside of holiday childrens' programming on specialized basic cable channels such as Nickelodeon and the Cartoon Network, there have been no new animated (cel-based or "Animagic") Christmas specials produced for network television in nearly 20 years. But, I gave it a second thought...and figured it just wasn't right to complain about one's lot in life during the holidays, because if Rudolph and Hermie taught me anything as a child, it was that no matter how bad things look....every dog (or reindeer, in this case) has his/her day.


I also gave some thought about going into a long-winded and detailed history behind the holiday special, but another site, TVParty, has already done an amazing job at doing this and I highly recommend you take a look.

So.....all that's really left to do is share some holiday cheer by sharing the soundtrack album of this holiday classic, I guess...though, as an added bonus, right click here to get an MP3 of Smiley Burnette's version of the classic Christmas tune. Everybody's heard Gene Autry's version (a guy who Burnette played comedy relief to in about a dozen or more films), but hardly anyone remembers this one....

Guitar Wolf Discography Part One

I'm a huge fan of the Japanese horror cult film Wild Zero, which is where I discovered the joy of Guitar Wolf.

From Wikipedia:

Guitar Wolf is a three-piece garage punk band founded in Japan in 1987. The band is known for songs with piercing vocals and an extremely loud style of noise rock which emphasizes heavy distortion and feedback. They coined the phrase "Jet Rock 'n' Roll", which they also used to describe their musical style — an energetic cross between The Ramones, rockabilly, classic punk, and noise rock. It is a part of Sony Music Japan's Ki/oon Records division.

The band has released nine studio albums internationally as well as a live album, numerous singles, and a greatest hits album called "Golden Black." The band members have also been featured in two B-grade science fiction horror movies, "Wild Zero" and "Sore Losers." A collection of Guitar Wolf's most popular videos and live performances have been compiled into a limited edition DVD entitled Red Idol. In March 2005, bassist and founding member Billy, also known as Bass Wolf, died of a heart attack at the age of 38. His replacement in the band, bassist U.G., has become a permanent member of Guitar Wolf and now rounds out the trio which currently consist of band members Seiji (Guitar Wolf): U.G. (Bass Wolf); and Toru (Drum Wolf).

Dolemite R.I.P. (Rudy Ray Moore 1927-2008)

DISCLAIMER: ADULT CONTENT!!!!! Sorry, kids....this one's for grown-ups...

Due to just sheer laziness and procrastination on my part (plus, Moore's death happening right smack dab in the middle of prep and posting of the Mighty Marvel Monsterbash 2008), I didn't get around to paying tribute in a timely manner to a wordsmith and comedian that has brought me a lot of joy over the years: Rudy Ray Moore (March 17, 1927 – October 19, 2008). Well, today I plan on rectifying that...





Many of us out there only know him from his blaxploitation comedy films of the 1970s, specifically the inafamous Dolemite (1975) and it's sequel, The Human Tornado (1976), but the man had a discography and filmography that would put most to shame:

Discography:

• Below the Belt (1959)
• Beatnik Scene (1962)
• Comedian is Born (1964)
• Let's Come Together (1970, recorded 1967)
• Eat Out More Often (1970)
• This Pussy Belongs To Me
• Merry Christmas, Baby
• Cockpit
• Return of Dolemite
• Sensuous Black Man
• Dolemite for President
• Zodiac
• I Can't Believe I Ate the Whole Thing
• Jokes by Redd Foxx
• Live in Concert
• The Player - The Hustler
• House Party: Dirty Dozens Vol.1
• The Streaker
• Dolemite Is Another Crazy Nigger
• Sweet Peeter Jeeter
• Turning Point
• Close Encounter of the Sex Kind
• Good Ole Big Ones
• Hip Shakin' Papa
• Greatest Hits
• This Ain't No White Christmas
• Raw, Rude, and Real
• 21st Century Dolemite
• Hully Gully Fever
• Genius of Rudy Ray Moore

Filmography:

• Dolemite
• The Human Tornado
• Monkey Hustle
• Petey Wheatstraw
• Disco Godfather
• Rude
• B A P S
• Penitentiary II
• Legend of Dolemite
• Live at Wetlands
• The Great White Hype
• Shaolin Dolemite
• Big Money Hu$tla$
• Dolemite Explosion
• Vampire Assassin
• A Stupid Movie For Jerks
• Lil' Pimp
• The Dolemite Explosion (2007)

So...to pay tribute to the man that many have credited as the Godfather of hip-hop and rhyme, I'll be sharing a few things from Moore's discography from my collection so that, even though the man may not be with us anymore....his words sure as hell can still make us laugh. Enjoy....

Curse of the Werewolf (Power Records, 1975)

The werewolf film genre has always been a thorn in my side for years....the only reason I tend to dislike it is simply a question of originality.

I mean, outside of Universal Pictures' classic The Wolf Man and The Howling (and remember, everything in this blog is personally my opinion, and you know what they say about those...), I find that every werewolf film produced is basically a rehash of the same friggin' story....

So, having said that...I still have no clue whatsoever why I like the Marvel Comics' character Jack Russell, Werewolf by Night....maybe it's the thought that the character was named after an absolutely cute little breed of dog that I adore....

Blade: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1998)

The Mighty Marvel Monsterbash 2008 continues!!!

The first BLADE film has been cited as being the harbinger of the current wave of popularity in comic book and superhero properties in Hollywood. It certainly turned the tide on Marvel's lengthy string of bad luck concerning adaptations of their characters on the silver screen....

It's one of the few film adaptations of a comic book property in which I can honestly say that there were some drastic changes made from the source material, yet no one really complained...

For the ability to compare and contrast the two interpretations of the character, feel free to swing by Who's Who...Cares? for a look at Tomb of Dracula #10, the character's first appearance on the comics page...

Jerry Reed R.I.P.

Late last month, an idol of mine passed on.

From Wikipedia:

Jerry Reed Hubbard (March 20, 1937 – August 31, 2008), known professionally as Jerry Reed, was an American country music singer, country guitarist, session musician, songwriter, and actor who appeared in over a dozen films. As a singer, he may be best known for "Amos Moses", and "When You're Hot, You're Hot", for which he received the Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance in 1972 and "East Bound and Down", the theme song to the first Smokey and the Bandit movie in which he portrayed the "Snowman", Cledus Snow.

Reed was not only an amazing song-writer and guitarist, but a damn good humorist, as well.


Plus....he was on an episode of Scooby Doo...



So...for download this time around....the soundtrack to Smokey and the Bandit:

Unknown Hinson- The Voice of Squidbillies

I love Adult Swim's Squidbillies. I'm a sucker (as I've said in the past when commenting on Junior Samples) for rural corn-fed humor. But, much like another of my favorite Adult Swim shows, Minoriteam, I love Squidbillies because.....well....it's so....wrong....that it's funny. And...I'm of the belief that with every terrible stereotype, there's a small grain of truth, and the only way we as a culture can overcome stereotyping of any sort is by staring them face-on and showing how ridiculous they actually are....

...and, boy....does Squidbillies deliver in that department.

From Wikipedia:

Stuart Daniel Baker, better known by his stage name, Unknown Hinson, is a musician, songwriter, and voice actor on the Adult Swim cartoon Squidbillies.

Baker has carefully cultivated his alter-ego. Much like Andy Kaufman's alter-ego, Tony Clifton, Unknown Hinson never breaks character in public and adamantly denies having any connection to Danny Baker.

Persona

Unknown Hinson, dressed in his signature rodeo tailor coat and black ribbon necktie, is a dark parody of the country western stars from the early/mid 20th century. With his glued on sideburns, blacked out front teeth, and dark hair slicked back to reveal a prominent widows peak, he has been referred to as the "hillbilly vampire".
The self-proclaimed "king of country-western troubadours" speaks and sings with an exaggerated southern drawl, commonly mis-pronouncing words like woman "womern", and window "winder".
Hinson's personality is that of a hell raising and hard drinking country-western singer with a preference for "party liquor", sexy women, and fine guitars.

Fictional Background

Unknown Hinson was an only child, named after his father “says right there on my birth certificate - Mama: Miss Hinson. Daddy: Unknown.” and raised by his mother, who gave him his first guitar. After his mother’s mysterious disappearance, Unknown ran off and joined the circus as part of the sideshow, where he learned how to lift 50-pound weights with his tongue, among various other skills.

Later, Hinson was imprisoned for 30 years, convicted of various trumped-up charges, including three counts of murder, 19 paternity suits, vampirism and random grave-robbing offenses. He was released in 1993 to reclaim his long-denied musical legacy.

Origins

Stuart Daniel Baker, a music teacher and studio musician from Albemarle, North Carolina, created his alter-ego for The Wild Wild South, a Charlotte area public-access program that featured comedy sketches and concert footage. Baker along with co-star Don Swan played the characters of Unknown Hinson and Rebel Helms. After Swan's death in 1992, Baker created "The Unknown Hinson Show", a direct spin-off of "The Wild Wild South". The Unknown Hinson Show won Creative Loafing's "Best Of" poll for Best Public-Access Television Show four years in a row.
After the series ended, Baker continued in his role as Unknown Hinson, performing live concerts and releasing several recordings.

Voice Acting
anny Baker provides the voice of Early Cuyler, a balding hillbilly squid from Georgia, on Cartoon Network's late night Adult Swim program, Squidbillies. The Early character has many echoes of Unknown Hinson, including an affinity for guns and liquor, and a "no-nonsense" alpha-male attitude.

Flash!!!!!! Ah......AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

Finally, at long last....

I've been wanting to share this album for quite awhile....so, here it is: one of my Top Five favorite films of all time: Flash Gordon (1980).


From Wikipedia:

Flash Gordon is a 1980 album by English rock band Queen. It is the soundtrack album to the science fiction movie Flash Gordon.

All but two of the tracks on the album ("Flash's Theme" and "The Hero") are instrumentals. The album makes extensive use of synthesizers, which Queen had employed for the first time on their previous album, 'The Game'.

"Flash's Theme" was the only single to be released from the album, under the title "Flash". It reached number 10 in the UK charts and number 42 in the US. The track is notable for its pounding, repetitive bassline and the camp humour of the snippets of dialogue from the movie that it contains. The last track, "The Hero", while an individual song, reprises the main motif from "Flash's Theme".

"Flash"

There are two versions of the song. The album version ("Flash's Theme") is in fact the start to the movie, with all the dialog from the first scene. The single version ("Flash") however features parts of the dialog taken from various parts of the movie. This version was also included on the "Greatest Hits" compilation from 1981.

The single reached number one in Austria.

Track Listing:

1. "Flash's Theme" (May) * – 3:22
2. "In the Space Capsule (The Love Theme)" (Taylor) – 2:21
3. "Ming's Theme (In the Court of Ming the Merciless)" (Mercury) – 2:53
4. "The Ring (Hypnotic Seduction of Dale)" (Mercury) – 1:15
5. "Football Fight" (Mercury) – 1:29
6. "In the Death Cell (Love Theme Reprise)" (Taylor) – 2:26
7. "Execution of Flash" (Deacon) – 0:43
8. "The Kiss (Aura Resurrects Flash)" (Mercury) – 2:11
9. "Arboria (Planet of the Tree Men)^[1]" (Deacon) – 1:41
10. "Escape from the Swamp" (Taylor) – 1:37
11. "Flash to the Rescue" (May) – 2:47
12. "Vultan's Theme (Attack of the Hawk Men)" (Mercury) – 1:15
13. "Battle Theme" (May) – 2:20
