Quack

Just reposted albums and one really long track tonight. I might cancel the “my reposts are better than your reposts” item because I’m getting sick of typing the word “repost.”

Howard The Duck Original Soundtrack & Singles
Fuck yeah Howard The Duck! I just found out that this flick was released on DVD in the UK. We still can’t get it here in the states, once again proving that the English are far cooler than us in America. It also proves that me picking up an all-region NTSC/PAL DVD player was a very wise investment. The above zip file includes the complete soundtrack and score, as well as the remixes to the theme song that appeared on the 12” single. Many of these songs are surprisingly good and are actually some of Thomas Dolby’s highlights as a songwriter in my opinion.

On a sadder note, Steve Gerber, the creator of Howard The Duck (the comic, not the movie) passed away earlier this year. I’d like to remind everyone that the Howard The Duck comic book is one of the greatest pieces of subversive counterculture from the 70s and is a must-buy no matter what you thought of the movie.

To the dude that requested this, you made the most random request – congratulations you win an internet.

Berlin – Information
Someone requested this via email…a total violation of my reposting rules. Luckily for him I was planning on reposting it anyways. Synthpop fans should check this one out – it’s pre-Terri Nunn Berlin.

Soft Cell
Hendrix Medley
To the dude that requested this…you’re really going to be sorry. Easily one of the most retarded things I’ve ever put on this blog and that’s really saying something.

    Actually ‘Howard The Duck’ did get released on DVD in the US several years back. I remember seeing it in Target on numerous occasions. Although I think it was just a plain (maybe even fullscreen) non-remastered release. Probably crap. But I see you can still find ’em on eBay.

    LOVE YOUR SITE – KEEP IT “SPINNIN’!”

    Thanks for mentioning the original HTD of the 70s and his brilliant creator.

    Gerber and his duck were two of the greatest things that ever happened to comics.

    Add my thanks for the HtD mention.
    The Soft Cell medley is phenomenally awful.

    thanks i try to be as random as possible…keeps people guessing heh.

    even though ‘howard the duck’ was released in the uk, if you’re lucky you can find it on one of the encore channels if you have them.

    Thanks for posting these tracks, but I do have to ask — are you ripping some of these from vinyl? Cause, if so, your tunrtable may be a slightly faster speed. The ABC and Electronic tracks you posted, for eg, end up being about 10-20 seconds shorter than they should be.

    The Soft Cell medley is genius. The only retarded thing about it, is calling it retarded in the first place.

    That Soft Cell medley is hilarious! I have read about it and had always wanted to hear it.
    Even before that posting I was a fan of your site.
    Michael.
