1984's Runaway.

ODD STEWART

GET SET TO GET WET!

Break out the mirrors & razor blades, it's Rod Stewart's slick number "Some Guys Have All the Luck" like you've never heard/seen it before. I don't even know where to start. From the pedophile-on-a-coke-bender vocalist to the happy, oily bassists (sporting glittery vests, bandannas and practicing synchronized leg-kicks). And what's with the karate kid character in the back slaying the snare drum? Get Creepy.

I'd like to tip my hat to whoever booked these savages for this party. You better believe that when these guys weren't pulling gigs at bowling alleys and empty disco halls, they were piling into the 84' Chevy Van (the one with the giant, flaming, golden hawk painted on the side and velvet interior) to comb the local high school parking lots, prowling for...

I think I speak for the TNUC disciples when I say that these guys could rock a party at the TNUC dome any time/any place!

LIVE THE DREAM.

Your eyes skim the sleek, sinuous stainless steel body, and all your senses tell you, "I've got to have it!"
The counterbalanced gull-wing doors rise effortlessly, beckoning you inside.
The soft leather seat in the cockpit fits you like it was made for your body.
You turn the key. The light alloy V-6 comes to life instantly.
THE DE LOREAN. Surely one of the most awaited automobiles in automotive history.
It all began with one man's vision of the perfect luxury car. Built for long life, it employs the latest space-age materials.
Of course, everyone stares as you drive by. Sure, they're a little envious. That's expected. After all, you're the one LIVING THE DREAM.
Start living it today at a dealer near you.

I would like every single disciple who reads this post to do something for all that is TNUC. I ask you to please play the tracks featured below as you read and examine this exotic sports car. Hopefully posts like these lift you up, give you power and become more of an experience than a browse.

#1. Giorgio Moroder & Paul Engemann - American Dream (12") d/l

The story begins with a dream. The dream of a man named John De Lorean. The adverstisments for this $25,000 model DMC-12 read "Live the Dream" and for a while, Mr. De Lorean was indeed living his dream. His lavish-lifestyle was filled with houses around the world, fleets of cars, $700 suits and even servants. But then came 1982, when De Lorean became a struggling mess. His company was sinking after sales for his dream-mobile had pummeled. Next, De Lorean faced his worst nightmare. He was arrested in an FBI drug sting for cocaine trafficking. Though videotaped saying "Cocaine is better than gold", he was eventually cleared on the trafficking charges.

For TNUC, the only feature missing from the De Lorean was an automatic fog dispenser for when opening the gull-wing doors. Imagine this: pulling your De Lorean up to a girl's house, her parents sneakily peeking out of an upstairs window, as their daughter opens a stainless steel, vertical-rising door while a sea of fog pours out as she climbs inside. A frantic look rushes over the nervous parents. They run to the door to warn their daughter, but it's too late. All that remains is a hint of fog lingering in the driveway. The mysterious, space-age-dream-date has left their quiet suburb and is headed into dark, laser-filled territory. This is one night she will never forget, so don't wait up...

It's times like these when parents realize somethings changed in their sweet daughters. Bid farewell to milk & cookies and The Jonas Brothers...and say hello to the make-out point and Giorgio Moroder.

Here are 3 favorites of mine from the Risky Business soundtrack. While "Love on a Real Train" is a favorite amoung the masses, "Lana" was always the stand-out track for me. The song almost has hints of Pink Floyd and Emerson, Lake and Palmer. How can you listen to this song and not think of Rebecca De Mornay storming through the door? Big thanks to the Inferno Music Crypt for coming through with their extended version of the soundtrack.

#2. Tangerine Dream - Lana (Instrumental) d/l

#3. Tangerine Dream - Watering Flowers (Instrumental) d/l

#4. Tangerine Dream - The Dream is Always the Same (Instrumental) d/l

Now you see her.

Now you don't...

AEROBIC SEDUCTION

There are a number of ways one can be plunged into a deep abyss of seduction. From the ripping sounds of a late night saxophone moaning through the night air to the powerful, sensual stylings of an Aerobics studio, seduction can come at any striking moment. If anyone knows, it's TNUC.

Today's installment is one of great importance. This clip is just a mere glimpse into the brilliance that is the 1984 aerobic-exploitation film, Heavenly Bodies. Just a fair warning, don't feel bad when your lifting your jaw up from the floor after you witness the glistening, golden, sweaty delight that is Heavenly Bodies. Girls in leotards, endless montages, crotch-thrusting, abandoned warehouses turned into dance studios...just riveting. Here at the TNUC dome, these things are staples of our lifestyle.

Locating Heavenly Bodies on VHS is rare, but don't fret because the legendary midnight-maniac event New Beverly Midnights here in Los Angeles has screened the flick twice already, and will continue to do so for years to come. TNUC of course attended this years annual event, and let me say, catching this film on the big screen is the way it was meant to be seen. With that said, Heavenly Bodies has only been shown at the theaters three times. Once for its premier in Canada, and twice at New Beverly!

Like the movie, the soundtrack is a rare find. Originally, I had thought of only posting one song from the soundtrack. But that would be weak. At this pummeling dance-ersize studio, these limber ladies have no time for weakness, they're here for one reason: To turn that mush into muscle! So here's the soundtrack...sweat, spandex and all.

SUMMER SAX.

We're in the heart of the summer, and what better way to celebrate the sun and the heavenly bodies that grace our beaches than listening to a track with a lethal dosage of saxophone. Smooth, seductive, summer sax.

Enter Lovelock. I won't go into specifics about the Lovelock project, because I think the masterminds over at 20 Jazz Funk Greats said it best.

"...giant shimmering pirate ships cruising through the blackest space on a sea of laser beams bursting forth from crumbling suns."

Lovelock - South Beach Sunrise by steve moore

Wait for the luscious sounds of the sax to arrive half-way into the song. The marriage of the saxophone and synthesizers is a shot of pure bliss to the senses.

MOMENT OF PARAMOUNT: The entering of the mighty saxophone, obviously.


See YOU at the beach. Better pack some watermelon with those cocktails!

IT NEVER STOPS.

In case you missed it, here's the highly controversial interview that every one's talking about...

Big thanks to FUTURE who were forced to meet TNUC in an undisclosed location somewhere down in the Caribbean for this rare interview, and for asking cool questions.
