Many members of this great group have written to inform us that the Monkees
TV show is still on the Screen Gems Network, but just not this week, which
is a special 70’s week. It is expected to be back on next week and last
until August or September. Thanks!

FYI – IMDB (Internet Movie Database) has listed this as its movie rental
of the week! It can be found at www.imdb.com.

One of our favorite little-known comedies is _Tapeheads_, a 1988
comedy starring Tim Robbins and John Cusack as a pair of out-of-work
security guards who start their own video production business. This
movie is the reason Devo re-recorded their hit “Baby Doll” in Swedish
and features other great music a made-up singing duo called The
Swanky Modes (played by Junior Walker and Sam Moore). In fact, the
soundtrack (which is amazingly hard to find) is a lot of fun.
Executive produced by Mike Nesmith, the film is full of fun cameos,
in-jokes and just plain odd humor. We were in heaven when we found
out it’s being re-released on DVD and VHS in October.
