Hey! Happy Monday! Welcome to 1980s Kids Movie week on Morning Cup o’ Music.
Today’s track is from the movie Labyrinth and was one of many of Jim Henson’s ‘movies for kids’ that featured really scary shit. Believe it or not, this scene still manages to disturb me to this very day. The song “Chilly Down” is a drastic departure from the rest of the Bowie laden soundtrack, and it features a whole mess of puppets that do all sorts of crazy shit in front of Jennifer Connelly right before she winds up in the bog of eternal stench. If you listen closely, you’ll hear Kevin Clash (Elmo from Sesame Street) as the first monster to jump in front of her. Damn I’m such a nerd.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
