Sunday Funday

Dance!

Well here we go the last Sunday of April 2023, while the year is whizzing by we need to celebrate today in true Sunday Funday style!

Thus I hereby bequeath you a gaggle of dancing aliens. You know the ones made famous straight outta Ridley Scott's 1979 film Alien that spawned many a sequel? Most notably James Cameron's Aliens, yeah those multiple creatures just keep giving us chills that multiply, never divide. 

So let's make like these aliens today and shake our groove thang, shall we?

"Leslie's Dream"

Leslie Medford

Independent Project Records (IPR) is set to release their first ever digital-only single which will be out on 28th April. Special occasions require special songs, and what you’re about to hear is a slice of moody, brooding psych with a motorik heart and a throbbing political conscience. “Leslie’s Dream” is a rare new recording from Leslie Medford, the maverick leader of 80s San Francisco psychedelic journeymen The Ophelias. According to David Fricke (Rolling Stone, MOJO), The Ophelias were “modernists steeped in the vintage, local ethos of a late set at the Fillmore Auditorium - a potent tab of futurist acid-pop…laced with post-punk menace”.

 
In 2022 Independent Project Records released a well-received retrospective titled Bare Bodkin, charting The Ophelias’ genre-defying journey (“a stunning summation of The Ophelias’ offbeat oeuvre”, said Shindig! Magazine awarding the album 5/5 stars). Almost 40 years later, Medford is still busy conjuring spacey image-rich reveries, so get ready for “Leslie’s Dream”! Check it out here.
 
If the USA was eligible for the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest “Leslie’s Dream” would likely win the thing. Then again, in a perfect world Leslie Medford’s latest song wouldn’t be necessary like it is. We at Independent Project Records believe Medford hit the vein of the zeitgeist whilst asleep, and the track might just snowball onto summer dancefloors around the continent and beyond given the weather these days and this current atmosphere of impending chaos. Medford led The Ophelias (research them!) in the 1980s, and like that band Leslie still dreams big. Infectious and memorable, “Leslie’s Dream” aims to mobilize thought, booty-shaking, and an ecstatic, whooping, mosh pit of change.

Michael's Musings

Wanna See What's Under My Umbrella?
Michael Shinafelt

This week has been all about low vibration energy, hey it's the place where you find some balance Minions. It's actually the first week since my Mom's passing that I have felt balanced for an entire week.

It's a terrific feeling and while I know I am sure to topple at least I have a point of reference to migrate back to, now about that red umbrella over my head...

Evil Dead Rise is fun, creepy AF and an overall great escape! I highly recommend it, 4 Deadites Up out of 4!!! Also it has one of the greatest title cards of all time.

Let's romanticize lunch today, shall we???

Woah. How did we not guess him?!

Did you hear? Hugh Grant is an Oompa Loompa in the new prequel Wonka starring Timothy Chalamet

The only Tuckers allowed are Drag Queens in this house!!!

Jodie Foster/Judge Judy erotica, discuss...

The green M&M did it with the candlestick in the study

Kim Kardashian officiated Lukas Gage & Chris Appleton's wedding in Vegas, the more you know

Woman Crush of the Week -  comedy legend Carol Burnett who just turned 90 years young and is still slaying

Most people listen to reply, not understand, truth!

Initially I wasn't interested, but the more I see of the upcoming live action The Little Mermaid  makes actually want to go!

Let's get primal baby

Remember when they called Private Eyes Private Dicks???

Hump Day & Chill

Alyssa Sutherland
as
Ellie

"I'm free now from all you titty sucking parasite" - Ellie

Saw the Evil Dead Rise this past weekend and loved it! It was fun and the escape I needed from reality for a an hour and half. This was due in no small part to Alyssa Sutherland's expert turn as as Deadite mother of three Ellie.

Thus as I'm sure you have guessed by the above image taken behind the scenes of Evil Dead Rise we are going to give a big Hump Day & Chill cheers to Ms. Sutherland and her CAF (Creepy As F#ck) performance in the current hit movie.

Nobody does it better and turns on her children quite the way she does.

Mommy's with the maggots now...indeed!!!

Wave Your Tongue In The Air Like You Don't Care...

Lick It Up!
Billy Idol & Demi Moore

Today I wanted to do something totally different head and give you all a virtual tongue bath courtesy of Demi Moore getting literally thirsty for Billy Idol.

Who knows where this was taken, and who actually cares, their chemistry is shall we say electrifying!!! What I want to know is how much further did this actually go?

Being it is obviously back in the day when both were at the top of their game and things were different I'm going to speculate that the deal was sealed.

Oh to have been a fly on that wall...

Pants on the floor indeed!
