11/28/2010 - ::Extra Goodies:: - On This Day in Rock History .. Rick Allen of Def Leppard

I think any music fan is familiar with the jest of the story of Rick Allen, drummer of Def Leppard. 

I learned many new tidbits while watching a BBC documentary the other night and a few other goodies I found on the grand ole YouTube.  I didn't realize that Rick Allen was only 15 years old when he joined Def Leppard.  That ... by the way ... was on this date in 1978. 

10/30/2010 - Yet Another Documentary on Halloween ... the 1978 movie, not the holiday ...

Happy Ocho-rific Halloweekend!!  I located yet another documentary on the movie Halloween this weekend.  This one includes a boat load of interviews and on location footage.

10/30/2010 - John Carpenter-Halloween Interview by Mark Kermode from 1999

John Carpenter interviewed by Mark Kermode for Halloween's 21st Anniversary. 1999.

I have a lot of folks to say that they don't have time to watch the video ...
sometimes the video's all there is ...
this is one of those times :)  

10/30/2010 - ::IMDB Tidbits:: - Halloween - 1978

::IMDB Tidbits:: is a new feature that is being added to the Ocho-rific Song o the Day.  I remembered this week while cruising around over there for random Halloween info what an amazing selection they have of tidbits, goofs in movies, behind the scenes stories, etc.
I'm truly not much of a movie buff in general, but I could still get lost for days over there!
IMDB has my stamp of Ocho-rificness ... I'm sure they'll be very excited :)

10/30/2010 - Halloween - 1978 - the Soundtrack

Let me preface this by saying that if you were to ask my favorite horror flick of all time, my answer would unequivocally, hands down be Halloween.   I don't identify that with any "numbers" or such because it shouldn't need them ... but I am referring to the 1978 Halloween.

The Ocho-riffic Song o' the Day - 8/12/2010 -"...Just take your best shot and don't blow it..."

Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)

The Grand Illusion-1978

Styx

Quite possibly my favorite Styx song EVAH! It's also quite possible that I'll say that approximately fifteen more times throughout the course of this blog. 

Styx is, I believe .. beyond a shadow of a doubt my favorite band of all time.
