Music And Movies w/ Weird Michael Beard
It has become a bit of a tradition for me to join Weird Michael Beard during Pledge Drive, and we do our best to help pitch hard for KMUZ, and sell listeners on what Community Radio is all about.
To that end, we presented some of our favorite songs from Cult Films, leaning heavily on the ’80’s. There’s a lot of lost gems in the set for the show, and at 55 minutes, you can almost listen to it twice without batting an eye.
Enjoy!
Who Was That Masked Man? (Retrocast)
(Originally aired 4 July 2010, featuring all music and songs discussing the nature of Heroes and Villains)
Playlist & Footnotes: http://anywhereanywhen.com/2016/05/03/who-was-that-masked-man-retrocast
Having spent his life dedicated to the preservation of musical taste in all of its inherent forms, Austin Rich dons his headphones every week to aid Blasphuphmus Radio in the never-ending battle against terrible radio in all of its inherent forms. This week Austin is faced with his toughest challenge yet, and he squares off with music that meditates on the nature of heroes and villains themselves. Will he succeed? There’s only one way to find out, by tuning in.
As I’m sure you can guess, I’m a big fan of Comics, and I have often been excited by those rare musical moments when the two converge. It is not very common, believe me; music loves to tell different kinds of stories than the ones you encounter in your typical staple bound beauty, and while I have always felt that there was a huge connection between Comics and Rock ‘n’ Roll (ahem, The Ramones, ahem), you don’t always think about the one when the other is mentioned.
But with a little digging, I was able to uncover a good hour’s worth of material that managed to follow and particularly four-color theme. The only inclusion that feels a little off is the Sabbath song; while I am a huge fan, it is the only representation from Marvel Comics in this particular show. My only defense is that I have always been a DC guy, and I get the references of their Distinguished Competition than I do the ones from the Bullpen. For anyone else who were able to follow those references: We meet at TFAW every Tuesday; where have you been?
As we move into the summer, there will be some scheduling snafus that will change the way we do things here at Blasphuphmus Radio. As usual, we will do our best to keep you entertained regardless. Stay tuned for more information.
See you in seven.
