Vibrations: Techno 101 (via treetrouble and Noted without Comment)
The synopsis on IMDB:
Rising rock star, TJ Cray, gets the shot of a lifetime, an audition with a A & R man. On the way into the city, a carload of drunks smash into his car, severing his hands. He drops out of the business and becomes a homeless drunk. Cray wakes up to a pulsing beat in an abandoned warehouse, where a “rave” party is in full action. To his rescue comes Anamika, a computer artist, who takes him outside for fresh air. They become friends and eventually reinvent TJ’s career. With the help of friends, they replace his hands with prosthetics and design a metallic cyber looking suit. TJ quickly becomes an overnight sensation, known as Cyberstorm. The finale is a dramatic scenario where TJ has to make crucial decisions about his new life
Added to my to-rent list. 90s train wrecks, yes.

This is hilarious! How is it 2010 and I just now find out about this?
Many of the scenes set up for the gags were directly cribbed from 1957’s Zero Hour! It’s a movie about an ex fighter pilot named Stryker, who… well, see for yourself.
It had occurred to me that the modern complaint of constantly remaking old movies and rehashing old stories is short-sighted as this has been going on for far longer than just the last decade.

Episode 14: Dave Awl
My guest this week is the delightful Dave Awl, a performance poet, author, and alumnus of the Neo-Futurists and Pansy Kings.
In this episode Dave tells many wonderful stories, shares a few works from his collection What the Sea Means, and compares your host to a pair of trousers.
Follow I Just Got Here on Twitter / facebook if you’re so inclined.
As always, you can email me (Uncle Sylvia) at podcastinghere at gmail dot com.
Dave’s a friend of mine from Chicago, and I was made terribly happy, as well as a bit guilty (seeing as I’m one of the Chicagoans who did move to San Francisco), by listening to this.
