Sabrina - Boys (Summertime Love) 12" Single, Ibiza Records, 1987
"According to Internet number crunchers, Sabrina Salerno's 1987 music video for 'Boys (Summertime Love)' is one of the all-time most downloaded videos on the web."
Yooooooo!! This new video for the Czarface and Ghostface Killah "Mongolian Beef" joint is everything, all that, and a bag of wasabi peas! A gorgeously garish visual smörgåsbord of old school Eastern and Western influences. I'm givin' it 5 stars, five mics, and–as the Chitown homies Siskel & Ebert used to say–"Two thumbs up! Way up!!" Directed by: Shawn A. Johnson (Nektr) @oldsoulbrother1 Also, the full Czarface Meets Ghostface album just dropped on February 15th, so make sure to cop that $#%@ wherever good music is sold! And no bootlegs, y'all–buy that $#%@!!! Or...bootleg it AND buy it. I could definitely co-sign on that.
UM...HOW DID THIS HAPPEN, AND HOW AM I JUST LEARNING ABOUT IT?!?!
Despite my not owning any records, CDs or even a single mp3 track by the legendary rock group KISS, I still have a soft spot for 'em that dates back to my days as a lil' crumb snatcher. This is mainly because–aside from their super cool-looking visuals and superhero-like alter egos–the band had a series of toys made in their image (by MEGO), and a comic book published by Marvel (Marvel Comics Super Special #1, 1977).
In addition to that serious soft spot for KISS, I have a fanatical love of anime that dates back to childhood. I've mentioned before how old school Japanese import TV 'toons like Prince Planet, Speed Racer, Starblazers, Battle of the Planets, Captain Harlock and others helped make me into the big ol' otaku that I am today.
Well, the video for "Yume no Ukiyo ni Saite Mi na" ("Try to Bloom in a Dream About the Floating World") is giving me all the feels. The idol group Momoiro Clover Z did this rockin' lil ditty as a collabo with KISS back in 2015. I didn't know anything about it, though, until 10 or so minutes ago. So I'm postin' it here, cuz I know I'm not alone.
And no, it's not subtitled in English. Deal widdit.
