TRUE HOUSE STORIES® W/ BOBBY SHAW # 103 Bobby Shaw's start in dance music began in 1977 as a bartender in the highly successful discotheque, The Barefoot Boy. There he became close friends with DJ Tony Smith and was fortunate to experience and hear the likes of disc jockeys Roy Thode, Vince Michaels, Larry Sanders, and Wayne Scott, to name a few. During this tenure, he also got to know dance promoters such as Ray Caviano, Ken Friedman, Billy Smith, Alan Mamber, Starr Arning, and Rita Heyer. In 1978, Shaw's passion for music led him to seek a job within the dance community and he was able to land a mail room position for Ray Caviano at TK Records. While at the label, Shaw assisted on notable acts as Voyage, Peter Brown, The Ritchie Family, T Connection, Beautiful Bend, KC and The Sunshine Band, Jimmy "Bo" Horne, Anita Ward, and Bobby Caldwell.Bobby's old mentor, Ray Caviano, was rewarded with a custom dance label, RFC Records, which was distributed through Warner Bros. Records and Shaw joined him in 1979 as a regional promotion person. Although Caviano was later dismissed from his role, Shaw stayed on at WB until 1984. While there, he promoted future dance music classics from Gino Soccio, Change, Kraftwerk, Laid Back (discovering and mixing the classic 12" White Horse), The Time, Prince, Chaka Khan, Patti Austin, Janice McClain, Stargard, Talking Heads, and the Tom Tom Club. Perhaps most noteworthy though was his relationship with Madonna as he helped guide her through the early stages of her career with Michael Rosenblatt and Mark Kamins. Shaw helped set up Madonna's early club gigs and was her promotion person for the early masterpieces Everybody, Physical Attraction, Holiday, and Burning Up. In 1984, MCA Records' executives Richard Palmese and Jheryl Busby took notice of Shaw's work at Warner Brothers and they created a national dance music promotion manager's position for him. He remained there until 1998 and during that time span he became the first corporate vice president of dance music promotion at any label. Shaw's experience was the backbone for bringing such luminaries as Elton John, Patti LaBelle, Dan Hartman, Bronski Beat, New Edition, Stephanie Mills, Fine Young Cannibals, The Jets, Londonbeat, Colonel Abrams, and Tracy Lords to the dance floors of the world. In addition, Shaw became the only record company executive to ever win the AIR competition as he took that honor in 1986. In 1999, Shaw started his own promotion company, Bobby Shaw Promotions and he is doing it still today. As well he is involved with a Weekly Twitch Show under the name BobbyPromo. His shows are quite delightful and each show is like a history lesson when you listen to the music he chooses and you experience watching him.

Rock Legends of Los Angeles! On this episode Skullsessions host Bob Nalbandian is joined by three unsung heroes of the Los Angeles hard-rock scene of the late ‘70s/early ‘80s! Original drummer from Snow, Stephen Quadros, along with A La Carte drummer Brian O’Brian and guitar master Greg Leon from the Greg Leon Invasion discuss the early years of the prominent LA music scene sharing great stories from legendary Rock Club the Starwood, Van Halen and early Quiet Riot and some hilarious and bizarre anecdotes ranging from Tracy Lords and Phil Spector to OJ Simpson and a perverted chimpanzee!
Tracy Lords is now known as an accomplished actress who has appeared in everything from John Waters' cult classic "Cry Baby" to parts in "Gilmore Girls" and "Will and Grace" but before she went mainstream, she starred in some "adult" films when she was very, very underage. The controversy caught up with those who employed her in the 80s, while my dad was in Los Angeles, and guess who had to go out and find Traci to get comment on the strange events? My dad. Get ready for a completely bizarre and possibly NSFW journey into something I never thought I'd have to talk to my dad about. But hey, journalism. This is What You Didn't Know about the Traci Lords pornography controversy. ________________________Don't forget to R A T E and R E V I E W! We sincerely appreciate it. We have a Facebook Page now!

From Glendale, CA when it was a sundown town… I had no idea what that was, Gary Stockdale tells all. No African Americans, Chicanos, or Jews, oh my! Is that really possible? Guess so. With no plan B, Gary’s life and living has been all music, all the time. From $20 a night at The Comedy Store to singing at The Oscars with Mary J Blige this Sunday night, Gary, twice Emmy nominated, has spent years on the tube with Penn & Teller, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Cop Rock, where his scene’s been immortalized and made hip again thanks to Beavis and Butthead, to being naked in a hot tub with Ron Jeremy (no, please no) while Tracy Lords got prudish. Mentored by Henry Mancini (Michael Nouri, we talked about you and Hank, too), he sang about Teenage Daughters, and closed with his just dropped, You Don’t Know, from his current charting, Keep Letting Go. Did I mention he sings on the Justin Timberlake/Chris Stapleton video for their current hit, Say Something? Yup, that, too.

Blade II made over $150 million worldwide, so it was no surprise that two years later Blade was back in theaters. What was surprising is he brought friends, in the form of Jessica Biel, Parker Posey, Natasha Lyonne, and Ryan Reynolds. Can the daywalker stand up to the star power in this cast?

Blade was an unexpected hit in 1998, and so in 2002 Wesley Snipes returned to the role for the first sequel in his career. This time, with a still mostly unknown Guillermo del Toro at the helm, and writer David S. Goyer penning the script, did the Daywalker really get his chance to shine? Listen to Stuart, Arnie, and Jakob's review to find out!

By 1998, the only Marvel Comics character to get a wide theatrical release was Howard the Duck. But Dark Knight writer David Goyer would change all that with Blade, starring Wesley Snipes as the comic book vampire slayer. With Stephen Dorff as charismatic vampire Deacon Frost, Blade redeemed comic based movies after Batman and Robin and kicked off the Marvel Age of movies. But can this pre-Matrix combination of CGI and black leather stand up today, and how does it fit in with the other Marvel comic book movies? Listen to Arnie, Stuart, and Jakob's review to find out!
