Saturday Sounds: Prom Night

Be Afraid, Or Not...
Prom Night: Original 1980 Motion Picture Soundtrack
by Paul Zaza & Carl Zittrer

World premiere of the original score and disco songs from the 
1980 cult slasher film, featuring unreleased music

To be released on May 10th

Want to hear something really scary?
Perseverance Records presents the long awaited official release of the 1980 cult classic Prom Night Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. Perseverance worked closely with Carl Zittrer and Paul Zaza to locate and unearth the original masters and all music recorded for the film including unreleased disco songs and score not used in the final production, never heard before anywhere.
This marks the first official and complete CD release of the Prom Night soundtrack. While the songs themselves have made appearances on a notorious Japanese LP and eventual bootleg recordings sourced from it, there was no official release of the songs - partially because the movie was made in the waning days of the disco fever. 

This soundtrack features four different aspects of the music. First it opens with a re-creation of the score as it appears in the film - or as close to it as it could be assembled from the separate elements. Next is the score that wasn't used in the picture. Then come the disco songs in approximate order - but omitting the Blue Bazaar songs that were not featured in the movie and were used only as filler for the bootleg Japanese LP. The last portion of the album is dedicated to the songs that don't appear in the picture yet are as intrinsic to the sound of Prom Night as the songs that made it.

"I remember seeing Prom Night during its release in 1980, when disco was still the craze. I was determined to obtain a copy of the soundtrack and to play the theme song at my senior prom only to find that it was never released. I spent years looking at the audiophile catalog at Tower Records hoping to find a release date but no luck. Now, after almost 40 years, my dream has now become a reality! Fans alike are now able to enjoy the soundtrack!" - Silvio Barretta, Producer

Prom Night is a 1980 cult classic horror thriller directed by Paul Lynch (RoboCop, Xena: Warrior Princess, Poltergeist: The Legacy, Star Trek: The Next Generation) and stars Jamie Lee Curtis as Kim Hammond and Leslie Nielsen as Mr. Hammond. The movie focuses on four middle school children, Kelly Lynch, Jude Cunningham, Wendy Richards, and Nick McBride who hide the truth of what happened six years ago to ten-year-old Robin Hammond the day her body was found near and abandoned convent. They swore never to tell anyone of how they taunted Robin, backing her into a corner, frightened, when falling to her death while standing on a window ledge. But on that day, six years ago, someone else was there, watching, and now seeks revenge on prom night!

Michael's Musings

Look Closer
Michael Shinafelt
Many of my friends who are fans of the show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills have posed this question to me since episode one: "Why is Denise Richards on the show?" 

Then a along came Penis-gate, and her giving zero F#cks attitude about her wedding to Aaron Phypers. That's correct minions Denise is on the show to make the rest of the women look trivial and annoying IMHO. Denise is there to teach them, not to mention the rest of us, life is too short to accentuate the negative have fun and let the good times roll! So, what are we waiting for, time to roll and rock...!!!

Life is a parade of absurdities and pain, and then we die, alone, in filth. So, yes, little girl I shall buy a box of Thin Mints.

That time in spin class when my Whore and my Toy didn't show. That's correct I was a Toyless Whore 😟

"Postcards In The Sky"

DAVID ARCHULETA DEBUTS VIDEO FOR
“POSTCARDS IN THE SKY”

ADDS NEW DATES TO 2019 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

David Archuleta has debuted his brand new video “Postcards In the Sky,” the title track to his most recent album release.
“I wanted to show different scenarios of people going through hard things. “Postcards in the Sky” was inspired by a story of a girl who lost her mom and little brother in a car accident. (Relatives of co-writer of the song actually).  In the funeral they released balloons with messages/memories on them, symbolizing that it’d reach wherever they may be now that they’re gone. I felt like we need to do that more often. Let out our “postcards” into the world. Our voices, our words can make a difference. We don’t know whose life it will change, but most likely it’s our own life that’s changed by it. That’s how it’s been for me.” Says David

Additionally, David is currently on his North American tour in support of the Postcards In The Sky album release.  Initial dates were revealed earlier this year with numerous cities just added to the trek.  The tour will weave through such cities as New York, Boston & Chicago before hitting Las Vegas, NV & Santa Barbara, CA in mid-April.  Tickets available here: https://davidarchuleta.com/home/live/

CATHERINE BACH (DAISY DUKE) SET TO APPEAR ON HALLMARK'S HOME & FAMILY MONDAY, MARCH 25


In advance of The Good Ol’ Boys Tour kick-off in Bakersfield, California, on April 13, Catherine Bach is making a pit stop at Hallmark’s national morning show Home & Family Monday, March 25 at 10am/9c. Bach, known for serving up food and drinks in Boss Hogg’s Boar’s Nest, will be serving up some delicious nachos and banana ice cream sandwiches in the Home & Family kitchen.

About Catherine Bach/Daisy Duke:
Catherine Bach heard about the audition for The Dukes of Hazzard through her husband. When she arrived there, she found the producers were looking for a Dolly Parton-lookalike; despite not looking like what they were searching for, she was hired on the spot. One of the earliest costume ideas from the producers was that she wear a tight white turtleneck, go-go boots and a poodle skirt, but Bach asked if she could bring her own outfit, which was a homemade T-shirt, a pair of cut-off denim shorts and high heels. Bach had concerns about the appropriateness of the cut-off shorts at first, saying she could not wear them in a restaurant scene. When prompted by the producers to visit a restaurant across the street, Bach found the waitresses were wearing "little mini-skirts that matched the tablecloths!".

At the suggestion of the show's producers, Bach posed as Daisy Duke for a poster, which sold 5 million copies. The poster once caused a stir when Nancy Reagan took a liking to it after Bach visited The White House with one as a gift for one of her former school teachers then working there.

While she was starring on The Dukes of Hazzard, her legs were insured for $1,000,000.

"As If"

Get A Clue
l-r
Donald Faison, Breckin Meyer, Alicia Silverstone & Paul Rudd
I have a confession to make, I'm a sucker for cast reunion photo-ops. Whether I like the project the cast has been in or not, nostalgic memories are always fond ones. Especially if I liked the project.

Well in the case of the Clueless reunion at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo between it's stars Alicia Silverstone & Paul Rudd, along with co-stars Donald Faison & Breckin Meyer - this partik one is a slam dunk for me!

Clueless was a movie I went to see reluctantly. "Yep" it was my friend's choice to see it and even though I was not interested "As If" I thought "Why Not?"

Much to my surprise it was more than simply funny and entertaining, it was also insightful and satirical.. 

Alicia Silverstone's Cher Horowitz became iconic and her famous quote "As If" is still tossed around to this day.

In case you are wondering this added to my weekend Good Vibes.

Ciao!
