WTF?

WTF indeed! We stand for Films, Tunes, and Whatever else we feel like (not necessarily in order!) Professor Nonsense heads the 'Whatever' department, posting ramblings ranging from the decrepit, to the offbeat, to the just plain absurd! The mysterious Randor takes helm of the 'Tunes' front, detailing the various melodic messages he gets in earfuls. Weekly recommendations and various musings follow his shadows. Finally, our veteran movie critic, Lt Archie Hicox, commands the 'Film' battlefield, giving war-weathered reviews on flicks the way he sees them. Through the eyes of a well-versed renegade, he stands down for no man! Together we are (W)hatever(T)unes(F)ilms!

Randor's Song of the Week: 10.23.11

Get Sharp
"Internet Killed the Video Star" by the Limousines from the album Get Sharp. 2010.

    I really hope you see that obvious connection to the Buggles' 1979 New Wave song of the endtimes. If not, you should consider catching up on one-hit wonders of old. Nonetheless. the sheer popularity of "RADIO Killed the VIDEO Star" has no doubt inspired countless rip-offs similar to Limousines song I'm featuring this week. As easy as it would be to google the snowclone "X killed the Y star", the number of people jumping on the phrase is an irrelevant point to my amazement with this song. The Buggles' hit defined an era. "Internet Killed the Video Star" comes closer to any other song I know in achieving that same magnitude.
