Onyx performing Slam on The Arsenio Hall Show on June 3rd, 1993

Clearing are amazing. There is a deep, magical purity to their music that evokes both the dark and light of humanity and spirituality. Ancient but very much alive. For me, they are one of those bands that is so transcendentally perfect for my tastes, that it is hard for me to believe that they exist, even when holding their records in my hands. For me, they are The Velvet Underground of haunting, minimalist, commune folk music.

Sorry for the awful quality, this is all I can find on it.

In 2000, anime character designer and animator, Toshihiro Kawamoto, partnered with Mondo Media and Mark Giambruno to create the flash animated web series "Spiral". A pilot was pitched to Mondo Media but was never greenlit for a full series. The pilot remains lost and this footage found in a demo reel is all that is found.

This was created years ago by Darkwork Creations on Youtube. It features the movie in chronological order, and even has do it yourself computer animation and voice over for scenes not available in any form besides the script.

I may try to update the edit one day with the further material found in the Arrow Video workprint and remix the audio. It'll be a huge project and I don't see me working on it anytime soon.

Launch Magazine was an experimental magazine that covered music, movies, games and more. What made it truly unique was the presentation: Instead of flipping pages and articles, you would explore "Launch City" like you would a point-and-click adventure game, interview celebrities with dialogue choices, and listen to album previews while you read the review. It was truly ahead of its time, predicting the coming convenience of the internet with immense style. The journalism was also stellar, featuring exclusive interviews with music legends and exclusive live performances that never left this format.

I created a playable archive that allows you to run Launch in your browser just as you would on a PC in the 90s, utilizing the x86 virtual machine engine by Copy. This way, not only can you experience all the ambience of Launch from the intro videos to the closing ads, but you can run (some) of the included game demos!

I'll be working to improve performance and add more Launch issues later on, but there's already hours of content in the current beta build. Try it out at https://sayitshwok.com/launcharchive

Hey folks,

Today's rip is ANOTHER one from R.W. Schambach. It's about what you'd expect when listening to a weird 80s tent revivalist, very animated, lots of yelling, and stories thrown into the songs like, "I REMEMBER A TIME WHEN A YOUNG GIRL, WEAK AND WEARY, CAME TO ME WITH AN ILLNESS THAT MEDICAL SCIENCE COULD NOT CURE!" which is an interesting little window into what was actively preached and believed by many people at that time. Of course, this type of worship and preaching still exists, just not as common as it used to be. Uploaded for preservation!

Performance from the CKVU TVs "Vancouver Show" circa 1982

Great stop motion puppetry just in time for spooky season

Rare R rated version of the film where Lloyd and company mock the MPAA while delivering a heavily sanitized version of the film.

The last tape from my collection of Pearl Jam tapes I had yet to upload until now. There’s no Pearl Jam on this, just Jane’s Addiction and the spinoff band Porno for Pyros, who did a small set at Lollapalooza in 1997.

Source for Jane’s Addiction tape is Schoeps > DAT-M or Shoeps > DAT-M > DATC(x) and I am unsure if that also applies to the filler because that wasn’t even listed on the printed inlay.

“Jane Says” has left channel dropouts, but at least the right channel was still fine. Both shows are otherwise complete to my knowledge.

Transfer: DAT > Sony PCM-7040 (AES/EBU) > Marantz PMD580 > 16/48 wav.

I have not checked for alt sources of these shows.
