Same exact thing happened on Tony's list, Doug, when you posted your theme and I had just visited this page on my own to see it. Synchro rules! | |

Mario Van P. (Melvin's son) lost his virginity during the making of the film in order to persuade film unions that it was a porn movie that was being made. - Melvin managed to put $50,000 into making the movie. Everyone thought it would be a flop. But it grossed 10 million dollars and Melvin never had to work again. - Melvin almost went blind through extended editing required for the final cut. | |

That first is hilarious though! "No, no, it's not a scary radical black film, just your run-of-the-mill black porno..." | |

"Van Peebles contracted gonorrhea when filming one of the many sex scenes, and successfully applied to the Directors's Guild in order to get workers' compensation because he was "hurt on the job." Van Peebles used the money to purchase more film." | |

There's an adjective for this set, Doug, but it would be rather redundant. | |

Oh, and also the Chinese insist Pig / Rabbit is a great match. Maybe they know a thing or two. :) | |

(Although I sometimes need to listen or "preview" tracks I DL before keeping them, to make sure they're of sufficient quality). Still, Blue Cheer rarities! | |

The adjective of course is simply: MVP! :) None other like him! After hearing Brer Soul, I termed Melvin "eccentric soul". Glad I got to hear a wider smattering of Bro. Melvin tonight. I might expand that to "eccentric soul poetry". | |

Yes, fill-ins have playlists. There has been a link to it on the front page of WFMU's website since noon. Also, I sent out an email alert with a link to the playlist. You must not be on the mailing list. If you'd like to "join" just send me an email and I'll hook you up. Sorry about the confusion. | |
