HorrorPops


Eclectic Horror Pop Superstars HorrorPops
To Release Their First Ever Live Album on June 18th
Available in all formats including a Blu-ray / DVD / CD combo pack,
  limited edition colored vinyl (gold or silver), and 180-gram black vinyl   

It’s been over 12 years since L.A. transplants HorrorPops have released a full-length album and almost as many years since they’ve performed their delicious blend of ‘80s new wave, punk, rockabilly, surf and ska on stage. So it seems especially fitting that the Copenhagen natives, still led by the powerhouse duo of Patricia Day and Kim Nekroman, have marked their return with a spectacular full-length, multi-media concert album that brings all the magic of the band’s stage show to your home.

Filmed and recorded in early 2020, Live At The Wiltern features supercharged performances of the band’s best-loved tunes including “Walk Like A Zombie,” “Miss Take,” “Freaks In Uniforms,” “Where They Wander,” “Hit ‘N’ Run,” “Psychobitches Outta Hell” and so much more!
 
Patricia credits the fans with this show’s release: "'We wouldn’t be here without you' is a total cliché, but damn, you made it true and this album is the proof. We might have forgotten we were a band, but you sure as hell didn’t!"
 
This very special release will be available on June 18th, 2021 in all formats including a superb Blu-ray / DVD / CD combo pack as well as on colored vinyl (gold or silver) or a 180-gram BLACK vinyl.

Pre-orders are now open at the MVD Shop or on Amazon.

Michael's Musings

Pardon Me, I'm Levitating
Michael Shinafelt

Happy Levitation Day! "Yes" that is what I am referring to today as. All is well at present and thus I choose to levitate. Levitation is a state of mind and being. Thus may I be so bold to suggest you choose it, over staying on the ground today? I did actually suggest it, so it's too late, carry on Minions, carry on!

"No" is a full sentence 

Happy Earth Day! Worship the ground you walk on!

Literally it's like a yard sale of body parts, the more you know

Never touch the gunk. You will give in to the gunk.

I'm fully vaccinated and ready for sin

There were no ovaries on the beach, where are they? Damn it!

Oh, F#ck me geek...(Yes, this is an entendre)

Did you hear the great news about Derek Chauvin???

Woman Crush of the Week - Vanita Gupta - for her position as Associate Attorney General 

Reminder: The Academy Awards are this Sunday

Jim Jordan, Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Greene are drowning in the ocean. You have one seat left in the lifeboat. Who do you try and save? Answer: None of them I tell them the ocean is a Democratic hoax and move on

Due to popular Social Media demand LeVar Burton is in the last round of guest hosts for Jeopardy, you go LeVar!

Rollercoaster of love, that's it, that's all

Hump Day & Chill

David Eigenberg

While catching some reruns of Sex and the City recently I kept thinking how endearing Miranda's guy Steve was. Despite his faults, there was something about the couple that you rooted for and hoped that they could work it out. 

That was obviously due in no small part to the actor who played Steve, David Eigenberg. Thus today we are going to Hump Day & Chill to David, in all his glory! What's that you say? He only bared his booty on SATC? Not so fast he also bared it all on stage when he performed in the Tony Award Winning play Take Me Out.

"Yes" we get to see the Full David on stage by clicking on the link to Tye Briggs Favorite Hunks & Other Things below. He featured the images in a Birthday spread he did on the actor. Ha! I said spread.

So, get to it Minions, Hump Day & Chill, David is waiting...!!!

Beard Advice

Cheyenne Jackson
and His Beard

Any beard sporting guys, of the literal kind, not the euphemism kind, got some Beard Advice for Mr. Cheyenne Jackson?

It seems Jackson is having to grow a beard for work. He and his husband both approve. Their kids are fence sitting on the subject, they say it's too scratchy. 

Cheyenne is currently soliciting advice from you beard wearing aficionados on the matter at hand. 

Wanna help a fellow beardo out?

Of course you do! Hit Mr. Jackson up on his IG link below. For the record, that beard is looking mighty fine Mr!

Good Vibrations

What A Feeling!
David Duchovny - Gillian Anderson & Stella

Let's kick the week off with some Good Vibrations shall we? "Yes" we shall! Here is a photo posted on Instagram the other day by one Ms. Gillian Anderson with her dog Stella that reunites her with her X-Files co-star David Duchovny.

I was never really into the show and merely watched it a handful of times. Translation: I only watched when friends of mine guest starred on it. This being stated, this duo is nonetheless iconic in the cannons of pop culture and seeing them together definitely sends Good Vibrations.

Throw Gillian's dog Stella into the mix and you got some high octane Good Vibrations. Can you feel them? I certainly can!

So I send you off into another week of unknown adventure with this lovely reunion to keep visions of sugar plums dancing in your head.

Dance sugar plums, dance!!!

Sunday Sinema: Santa Sangre


"4 stars. This is a movie like none I have seen before, a wild kaleidoscope of images and outrages, a collision between Freud and Fellini."

     —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

It has been hailed as "extraordinary" (The Guardian), "visionary and haunting" (Rolling Stone) and "a grand work of art, full of symbols and imagery that reach beyond language to something primal and original" (AV Club). Now forget everything you have ever seen as the modern masterpiece from director Alejandro Jodorowsky returns like never before, with 8+ hours of archival & all-new Special Features produced exclusively for this collection. Severin Films is proud to present this 2-Disc Special Edition of Jodorowsky's epic odyssey through ecstasy and anguish, belief and blasphemy, beauty and madness - and the surreal genius behind it all - now featuring a 4K scan from the original negative supervised by the director himself.
