Doctor Detroit II: the Wrath of Mom

-

 


        "The Doctor returns in DOCTOR DETROIT II THE WRATH OF MOM".  That's what it said at the end of Doctor Detroit. It might have just been a joke, I don't think anyone expected a sequel to come out but didn't stop me from thinking about it. Just like Animal House and American Graffiti (which did get a sequel) on screen captions said what happened to the characters so I went from there. I figure the only actors to return would be Aykroyd, his wife Dixon, their friend Drescher and Kate Murtagh, who played Mom (and was the waitress on the cover of Supertramp's Breakfast in America). I would hope for cameos from T. K. Carter, Lynn Whitfield and Lydia Lei.  More high jinks would ensue, and Dan could play some outrageous characters while in disguise.

Spinal Tap - Shark Sandwich 1980

       I've used Spinal Tap before on this blog (Loving Large, The Fantastic 80s, The Singing Sixties and The Namesake Series of audiobooks) and to honour their new movie, I present SHARK SANDWICH, the album with the two word review. The front cover is the from the movie, the band photo was taken by Bob Gruen at CBGB's and the back illustration and design is by me.      To make a playlist I used "Sex Farm" from the This is Spinal Tap soundtrack and "Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare" which can be found on their Back From the Dead album. I also used two songs from other heavy metal parodies: "Drink Till I Die" by Bad News from the series The Comic Strip Presents and "Black Moon" by Strange Fruit as seen in the movie Still Crazy. Two more songs from actual 1980 albums: "Close Encounters" by Hilly Michaels and "Ear in the Snow" from Atomic Rooster (which once had Ric Parnell, of Spinal Tap, as a member. Two more songs sup...

Songs of Edgar Allan Poe

           Albums are oft put out of assorted artists covering songs of a certain songwriter. I remember when I got Red Hot + Blue in 1990, which had modern musicians doing Cole Porter tunes. Since Halloween is this Friday I wanted to do an album of songs using Edgar Allan Poe's words. The first rule I set for myself was no more than one song from any artist. Buddy Morrow, Spectral Kaleidoscope and Glass Prism did complete albums based on Poe's work. Alan Parsons also did a complete record of music influenced by Poe but did not use any actual lines written by him. Second rule was the songs had to use Poe's words. Thirdly, only one version of any poem. Lastly, I wanted it to be a variety, I could have done a complete death metal version. Songs of Edgar Allan Poe - YouTube

Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League

       When the movie The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension ended, there was a teaser that he would return in Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League . The small but loyal fan base waited but, mostly because of one man (look up David Begelman), that didn't happen. Rumours would pop up once in a while that Rauch and Richter (the people behind the original) were working on a sequel. Rauch did write a comic book version and a novel for the sequel, which were different from each other. This is my take on if Buckaroo got the respect I think he deserved and the sequel got made in the '80s.
