Petticoat Junction - Season One Episode Eighteen - 1964 "Visit from a Big Star" Continuing this classic gentle show. Resolution upgraded to HD. In this episode...... A big movie star is coming to the Hotel, along with his secretary - but it soon appears that Uncle Joe is up to his money making tricks again. The star has a smooth way with all the ladies, but Kate soon realizes she has to put him straight, when she finds it is the secretary who really loves him, but can't get past his aversion to commitment. So Kate and Joe come up with a plan to force his hand........ The "Big Star" is actually unknown to me, although he has the star looks of leading men from that era - the dialogue here is very dated though, and is quite annoying looking through it from a present day prism. So not my favourite episode - but still a great "Time Capsule" show overall. Playlist for the show is here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2OOqPxiQBFDFxaKeZMrTTcApV7qfWYDS

Fifth Episode of the cartoon series "Blast Off Buzzard" from 1977. This was aired on 8th Oct 1977, and was number 5 of 13 made. The show was part of the series CB Bears - which consisted of six different short cartoons, all which kind of spoofed another show. Blast Off Buzzard was clearly a spoof of the Looney Tunes characters Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner. Great fun cartoons, as are all of the CB Bears shorts - unfortunately no copies of the part called "Undercover Elephant" seem to exist at the moment. And I have already posted all the "Shake, Rattle And Roll" episodes that I have, so please no asks for more - if I get more I will post them. Resolution increased to HD.

Fifth Episode of the cartoon series "Posse Impossible" from 1977 - aired on 8th October 1977. The show was part of the series CB Bears - which consisted of six different short cartoons, all which kind of spoofed another show. Posse Impossible was a spoof of John Wayne cowboy films - even with a character called Duke sounding just like him. The other shows were "Blast Off Buzzard", "The CB Bears", "Shake, Rattle And Roll", "Heyyy, It's The King" and "Undercover Elephant" The Posse first appeared, although with a different sheriff, in the final episode of "Hong Kong Phooey" in December 1974. I may try to post it here at some stage. Plenty of laugh out loud moments in these short cartoons, although all episodes of "Undercover Elephant" seem to be unavailable, as do half a dozen episodes of "Shake, Rattle And Roll" Resolution increased to HD.

This is the 1989 Music Video to the single release of "State Of Mind", which preceded his first solo album "Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors". As always, biting lyrics from the big man, which seem even more relevant today than they did some 34 years ago. Just a great video and song, from a truly wonderful album. Resolution increased to HD.

A short clip taken from the wonderful documentary - Fanny - The Right To Rock from 2022. Just a great film - this clip has the band performing the song "Cat Fever" on the Kenny Rogers Show. Also has short speaking parts from Kate Pierson from The B52's, Kathy Valentine from The Go Go's and John Sebastian from The Lovin' Spoonful. A marvellous watch throughout, but heartbreaking towards the end to see Jean Millington after suffering a stroke, just as they were about to tour a new album. Has many other stars adding some endorsing words, so may upload some more.

Another clip from my all time favourite show - Halt And Catch Fire - based around the emergence of the early PC in the 1980's. Fabulous characters and some superb music. Music here features "Violent Femmes" with the song "Blister In The Sun". This clip is from the Season One Episode Nine - one of the best episodes of all, with multiple things occurring at once. We see Cameron trying smoke and mirrors to attract convention visitors to their stand, and then the after party in room 1475. Meanwhile Joe, after a major setback with the new Giant computer is seen fretting that no one will visit........ Just a fantastic show, which is now available to buy on YT, if you enjoy a riveting and at times unsettling watch. Stars Lee Pace as Joe MacMillan, Scoot McNairy as Gordon Clark, Mackenzie Davis as Cameron Howe, Kerry Bishé as Donna Clark and Toby Huss as John "Bos" Bosworth.

From the 2016 album "Delirium", this track is "The House Of Shame", a great live performance from everyone including the acrobatic dancers. This song was requested a while back, and somehow slipped my mind, but anyway, here it is in all its glory. I have added lyrics below, and may add them to the video if anyone wants me to.

Third track from the very wonderful Hitomi Yaida, with the song "Nothing Compares To U" recorded live in Japan in 2003. Was captured for a double DVD entitled "Live Completion'03 ~I Can Fly, Can You?" Just a fabulous concert in every way, even if she struggles with some English letter pronunciation. To me she sounds amazing, as do her fantastic band, and this particular song is just beautiful. Also, R.I.P to Sinéad O'Connor who recently passed away far too young, and recorded the most famous cover of this much covered Prince song. Upscaled to HD.

Thirteenth broadcast episode of the puppet/marionette show from 1963, which was called "Planet Patrol" in the US.Similar to the Gerry Anderson shows, Fireball XL5 and Supercar from around the same time - this show looks dated now, but is still quite fun to watch. I am uploading in the order that the episodes were broadcast, so this may differ from some later DVD order. In this episode called "The Wandering Asteroid"........ Captain Dart and his crew are sent on a perilous mission to blow up an asteroid that is on collision course with Wotan, the capital city of Mars. The asteroid has been deflected from its orbit, and Colonel Raeburn gives Larry Dart an almost impossible assignment - to destroy the asteroid.........

Fourth episode of a new/old favourite show of mine - Being Erica - which originally aired in Canada in 2009 on Jan 26th - and stars Erin Karpluk as Erica Strange and Michael Riley as Dr. Tom .Some taglines for the show would be - Fantasy, Time Travel, Second Chance and Comedy. Now originally the show had a fabulous batch of music clips throughout - but that very thing would not allow posting here because a lot of the tracks were very famous. Because of the costs to air this again featuring the songs, it appears to have been remade in 2015/2016 with a more generic soundtrack, and this is what I will be featuring. I would love to show the original episodes with the wonderful music, but that would not pass copyright on YT. Anyway the 2015/16 version is still excellent, and apart from some music, completely identical. Erica embarks on a series of adventures that kind of remind me a little of Back To The Future with a more adult setting/theme. And that can never be a bad thing. Also great shots of Toronto, where filming took place. Resolution increased to HD. Enjoy - I know I did.

Petticoat Junction - Season One Episode Eighteen - 1964 "Hooterville vs. Hollywood" Continuing this classic gentle show. Resolution upgraded to HD. In this episode......

Eighth track from this show from China Crisis, live from Liverpool in 2006 - the track is "Singing The Praises Of Finer Things". Brilliant track with great bass line. Song is from the 1989 album "Diary Of A Hollow Horse" The whole show has an intimate feel, and the vocals and musicianship are just fantastic.

Continuing Season Two of the comedy from the 1970's "Soap" This is episode 12 from 14th Dec1978. To omit opening credits start here: 01:19 No spoilers for this second series - so please just watch and enjoy. Tremendous fun from the cast, and laughter from the watching studio audience - the show is like nothing on TV now, and pulls no punches. If you enjoy the spin-off show "Benson", I thoroughly urge you to watch the show where it all started - 45 years later, it still makes me laugh more than any up to date, so called comedy.

This is Season One Episode Twenty Four from 8th May 1980, and the episode is called "Marcy's Vacation" It is also the concluding episode for Season One, and the show doesn't return for almost six months - by which time Taylor is no longer in the mansion. His job is replaced by two new people - one as political advisor and another as P.R. director. We also get a new opening sequence to the show. Now back in this episode....... Marcy has booked a two week cruise break, and enlists a friend who she trusts can do the job perfectly well in her absence, but unfortunately before she leaves Marcy notices just how well she is doing. This leads to a crisis of confidence...........

Another re-upload from an ancient account of mine. This is a playback performance of the song "Feel The Raindrops" by The Adventures - taken from their debut album in 1985. Not sure of a date here, or even the name of the show - but looks to be from around 1985/6. Original copy was only very low resolution/quality - have increased resolution to 720p, but quality is still pretty low. Great song though.

This is a video I uploaded some 16 years ago on old account on which I carelessly lost details and am locked out. Anyway, have decided to upload some more tracks from it in better quality. This one is the song "Stupid Thing", which comes from Aimee's debut solo album "Whatever" - only part of the song, but that is all there ever was. I think it was recorded in a Stockholm hotel room with band member Clayton Scoble. A great song - and a somewhat rare performance.

Another musical clip from "Sabrina The Teenage Witch" from 1998 - taken from Season Two Episode Eighteen - this is Jenna Leigh Green, who plays Libby Chesler - singing "There's A Little Bit Of Me In You" The song was originally sung by Stacy Maller - and seems to be the only thing she ever recorded - although the title was just "A Little Bit Of You", and was released only as a promo, four years earlier in 1994. If you want to hear the whole original song, look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVLsimh-VsI Jenna actually sings the song clip in the episode - in fact she is a good singer with many musical roles. Another great moment from this top notch series, which is high on my enjoyability list. Upscaled to HD
