Friday Fun TALES CALCULATED TO DRIVE YOU BATS "Tin Pan Folly"

"Tin Pan Alley" was the name for a group of influential music publishers/licensors...

...mostly located on West 28th Street between 5th and 7th Avenues in NYC due to the cheap rents at the time.

This Joe Edwards-written and illustrated story from Archie's Tales Calculated to Drive You Bats #5 (1962) points out many in the music industry thought rock-and-roll was just a fad.

Yet here we are in 2020 and rock-and-roll, though altered and enhanced, is still the predominant form of popular music!

It also shows that music companies thought (and still think) performers are interchangeable!

Sincerest Form of Parody

YouTube Wednesday: Little Shop of Horrors...the ORIGINAL Ending!

In the film's original ending, like the stage play...everybody DIES, and Audrey II's spawn conquer the world!
Test audiences found it too depressing, so a new ending (with a possibility of a sequel) was filmed.

Here is the complete original ending from the point when Audrey (Ellen Greene) realizes Audrey II is sentient...
NOTE: this is a combo of final footage and a colorized b/w "workprint", so things go from clean to rough, indicating what's the "never seen-before" material!

Fantastic Femmes--Norah Jones

Actually, she hasn't done any genre stuff, but Geethali Norah Jones Shankar is my favorite vocalist, and I wanted to run a couple of pix of her.
Since it's Christmas Eve, I do have a unique version of "12 Days of Christmas" she did with Jimmy Kimmel...

..so it sorta fits. (And it's MY Blog, so THERE!) ;-)
