The tag line is"Victory Through Violence and Vengeance!" This could only have been made in the 70s...true madness.

Oh, no...my time machine is fading fast now....I am all the way up to 1996...ok heres Tricky from Pre Millenium Tension... from the Hasten Corporation copyright 1996.

My time machine is now repaired...come back with me to 1983...here we goooooooo!!!!!!
In 1981, Prince, Susan Moonsie(Prince knocked her age back to 16 for shock value), his wardrobe mistress and Boston native Brenda Bennett(a singer who married Prince's set-designer Roy Bennett, and then became Prince's "wardrobe mistress" and gave her a "tough-girl, cigarette-smoking" persona), and his personal assistant Jamie Shoop came up with an idea: Prince, himself a rising musical star, suggested that his three female friends form a girl group that would be called "The Hookers."

Ideally to Prince, the three women would perform in lingerie and sing sensual songs with lyrics about sex and fantasy. Prince had been wanting to mentor a girl singer or group since the late 70's when he saw the film A Star is Born with Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. However loving to blur fact with fiction to continuously provoke and confuse, this story changed over the years as to how that conception came about and exactly what the women would be like. The original trio recorded a few demos before Prince met Denise Matthews, a nude model and Canadian B-movie actress, in January of 1982. Prince was so taken by Matthews' charisma that he decided that she would be the perfect front-woman for his "Hookers" project. Around this time, Prince and Matthews began a romantic relationship. With Matthews' arrival, Jamie Shoop bowed out of the group. Prince suggested that Matthews use the stage name "Vagina" (pronounced "Vageena"); she refused this idea and instead took up the name "Vanity."

With the new trio finalised, Prince renamed the group Vanity 6 (the 6 represented the group's breast count). Vanity 6, now dressed in lingerie and high heels, were written provocative songs to sing (although within the album credits, group members were sometimes given sole writing credits). Their first single, "He's So Dull," did not do much on the charts, but did appear in the film National Lampoon's Vacation.

The second single "Nasty Girl" was a hit on both the U.S. R&B chart and U.S. Dance chart (where it hit number one), and it also made an appearance on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. The song was featured in the film Beverly Hills Cop, although not included on its soundtrack.

"Nasty Girl" still has lasting significance to this day, having been recently covered in a house music style by Inaya Day. The third single "Drive Me Wild" was another minor hit. Music videos were shot for all three singles. The one and only released Vanity 6 album was eventually certified gold. The group opened up on the Triple Threat Tour, between 1982 and 1983, which also featured The Time and Prince, as the headliner. The fact that The Time played behind a curtain while Vanity 6 performed caused a rift between the bands and fricition within those friendships.

To the other group members' dismay, Prince chose Vanity to pose with him for a Richard Avedon photograph used on the cover of an issue of Rolling Stone magazine. The magazine issue with Prince and Vanity on the cover also contained a two-page Avedon photo of Vanity 6.

In 1983, Vanity recorded a demo for a new song, "Sex Shooter," and started training for her lead role in Purple Rain opposite Prince. Prior to the shooting of the movie, Vanity decided to leave the Prince camp later in 1983. Many reasons were given for her sudden split with him, including money, the end of their romantic relationship, and, most importantly, having been offered a lucrative solo offer from Motown Records.

Oh..By the way..here is that new Grand Theft Auto 4 trailer. I cant wait until October.

"333...666..." Heres my boy Andy freestylin in the mean streets of New York.

OK. The hype surrounding this Fridays release of the Tarantino/Rodriguiz flick "Grindhouse" is reaching fever pitch amongst all us retrophiles.This is the new faux trailer by Eli Roth that appears during the "intermission".
This guy really nails that 70s B movie feel.If "Grindhouse 2" is ever made,they need to give half to Roth.Its both funny and gory...a real talent is evolving here.
"Light meat...Dark meat..all will be carved!"

So...I just saw the Grand Theft Auto IV trailer.Looks like this will be the game of the year.They have decided to set the game in modern day New York,and the protagonist is apparently a Russian(Bosnian?) mafioso trying to start a new life here in the States.
The graphics look outstanding, as they are all real time( not cut scene). Im sure you will be hearing more about this in the coming months.
One question that looms large is about multiplayer online, which is not addressed in the trailer. I am sure Rockstar has some big news about this coming soon....

The trailer hits on this Thursday.Check back here for my comments and the full trailer....

Could this happen in the year 2007? I dont think so.Nice cameos from Digital and Eazy E.

Thanks to my trusty Time Machine, I have obtained VHS footage of Myself and Reg teaching Lane about hip hop...

Oh my....

The mall where white people used to shop
This is a post from ByronCrawford.com
RIP The Saint Louis Galleria, 1984-2007
I don't live too far from the Galleria, which was once considered the top mall in St. Louis. It's got a lot of the best merchandise, but that shit will run you. Hence, growing up I mostly stuck with Chesterfield Mall, and West County Mall (the old one), which is not too far from where I grew up.

I don't visit the Galleria too often because a) traffic over there is always so fucked up, and b) it's not like I'm about to buy shit anyway. I do pass by it sometimes on the way to Borders, and in the past six months or so, I couldn't help but notice packs of young black kids with backpacks crossing Brentwood, the street out in front of the Galleria.

Ruh roh.

Here's the thing: they recently built an extension to Metro Link - the train system that connects some of the shittier parts of St. Louis to downtown - that stops right out in front of the Galleria. So obviously all of these kids are taking the train from the ghetto to the Galleria after school. I don't know if they're out there boosting, or looking for young girls to impregnate, but suffice it to say it's not like they're looking for shoes for a job interview.

In November and then again this month, there were huge gang fights that had to be broken up by the police. They were covered extensively by the local media, and I think more or less signaled to people that the Galleria had become yet another mall where white people used to shop. Obviously something would have to be done, but Galleria management would have to tread lightly, because, like I said, the Galleria is chock full of the kind of expensive, name brand shit favored by ignorant-ass black people.

The solution? It was announced yesterday that the Galleria will bar youth under the age of 17 after 3 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, unless accompanied by an adult 21 or over. And adults 21 or over will be limited to supervising four under-17 youths. An announcement will be made at 2:30 that all under-17 youths have got a half and hour to leave the mall or else, and beginning at 3:00, mall security will be posted up at entrances checking IDs, as if it was Studio 54 or some shit. Damn.

It'll be interesting to see whether or not black people try to turn this into a race issue. I mean, on the one hand, kids have been going to the mall at least since the days of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, if not since the beginning of time, and yet it only became an issue when black kids started going there. But on the other hand, you never hear about all of these gang fights and shit until the black kids start showing up. Personally, I'd be lying if I said that barring a buncha ghetto high school kids would hinder my enjoyment of the Galleria. But you guys know I'm a hater like that...

This is another favorite...perhaps because an old girlfriend used to play this all the time...

All time fave....

Speech from Arrested Development has a new single. Its pretty tight.

The Hole - video powered by Metacafe

Lost Highway9 fan Mr. Sammy Stephens from Montgomery, Alabama has become our latest sponser! If any of you are in the area, stop by his fine establishment. ITS JUST LIKE A MINI MALL!

I saw part of this the other night on HDNET...its called "What Dreams May Come".Its about a guy who follows his wife into the afterlife.Not my kind of film, I thought, but is has some really haunting/creepy imagery in it.If it comes out on HD DVD I am gonna cop it.

The Hasten Corporation has contributed a rare photo of Kolchak The Night Stalker.They tried to remake this as a lame Sci Fi channel series...but that show sucked.Do yourself a favor and pick up the original on DVD.

This is the new official logo for the blog..even though I jacked it from some other site.

Possibly the best beverage ever created by Satan.Cheers,Beezulbub!
