tacky

How it started…sorta.

Have you ever wondered what Marcy (um, that is me- your host) was like as a child? Have you ever wondered where the origins of AdTalk, AlbumTalk and A Model Story come from? Well, lets just say this short video reminded me so much of myself and my childhood I had to share it with [...]

AlbumTalk: He’s cute but he’s got a big head.

When Karina said her new boyfriend was a real dummy she wasn’t even kidding. She always said she liked a man with a good head on his shoulders. Shoulders optional.

AlbumTalk: Hits for a Truck Driving Man

Even with her Scoliosis condition, Shelia was pretty popular at all the truck stops.    (This album features the hit song ‘Soft Shoulders and Dangerous Curves’ by Big Dave and the Tailgaters. I wonder if this was played on a dashboard record player?)

AlbumTalk: Los 4 Amigos

Four grown men wearing primary colored outfits, playing instruments and singing songs all while being the closest of friends. Hmm. So darn familiar. If only I could think of what it reminds me of…hmmmm… What? The Wiggles? No way. Maybe that is why Greg left the group after all.

Swedish Rock Band #10: Tonix

swedish-dance-bands-023

The members of Tonix saved so much on their group discount at ‘Wigs R Us’ they were able to afford the upcharge from the photographer for the lens flare making the sequin ‘starbursts’ extra special. Because nothing says ‘we are rockers’ than a sequin starburst on your album cover. Yup, hardcore rockers are all about [...]

AlbumTalk: Feeling no pain. Or weather.

Hell yes I will sit on this damn car if I want to! Even in the middle of Winter…And stop telling me I parked it funny. I can park it any damn way I want. Don’t you know who I am? No! I won’t come inside…and for god’s sake will someone get me a light! [...]

Swedish Rock Band #9: The Saints

swedish-dance-bands-029

Yup, nothing says dance band like a an album cover photo taken at the community pool. Well that and those sweet satin jumpsuits and powder blue platform HEELS. And the guy in front with the fu-man-chew mustache doesn’t look much like a saint if you ask me. Hey is that Leif Garrett in the back? [...]

Swedish Rock Band #8 : The Milles

swedish-dance-bands-014

While I realize this looks more like a brochure for a touring gymnastic group (Like Cirque de Gaylay)I assure you this is indeed another Swedish Rock Band Album cover. We’ve got The Thinker in the middle and the guy in the center back is channeling Rick Springfield while ‘I’m-so-cool-I-gotta-wear-shades’ boy is leaning back on him [...]

Swedish Rock Band #7: Norrlandspojkarna med Inger

swedish-dance-bands-043

“Can you get your mom to get out of the shot please? I don’t care if she did make our shirts- she can not be on the album cover.”   I found them here. And because the contents of their blog are SO SHOCKINGLY FUNNY. I absolutely must copy the best of it here. I [...]

Swedish Rock Band #6 : Zandra

swedish-dance-bands-009

      “Sven was bummed his costume ripped before the photo session. But was certain no one would even notice once he used his hand-across-the-waist pose to hold it closed.” Okay now let’s play ‘Find the Ascot’!…do you see it? Do you? Clearly he was the fashion forward member of the group. (See all [...]

Swedish Rock Band #5: Skip’z

swedish-dance-bands-037

Hey everybody, its time to listen to the sounds of “Skip’z”! I think as the series progresses they are getting worse better and better. Let me introduce you to the band. From L to R. There is Agustas who is holding his air-pool cue. And Einar who blows his sax till either his ears pop [...]
