The Ghost Town (Free subscription) | 10/08/2009
Lord Luther's I Was a Teenage Creature has some fairly standard music bop behind his vocals. But the what comes to the forefront on this track is his voice. He really elevates the song with a pretty amazing croon. Backed by the howling, growls and grotesque laughs and screams this reminds me for some reason of being a kid and watching old TV shows on Nick at Night. If I could find an image of Bob Denver...

TiVo'd a couple wacky beach party movies off TCM last week. No Frankie and Annette--these are the even cheesier poverty row rip-offs. The one I was looking forward to watching was It's A Bikini World , which is playing at the Egyptian later this month, when I'm going to be out of town (I'm missing so many good shows!
