The Key To The Bronx Zoo





Main Title to Hausu

Hausu or House, the '77 Japanese horror movie with the Scooby-Doo shenanigans and ill fantasy effects.  I wouldn't say that you'll be riveted, but you should definitely watch it. Directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi.

Die Radierer "Angriff Auf's Schlaraffenland"

Robot Pencil Case Instructions

Here are the instructions that came with my robot pencil case.




Here's the pencil case in a video called "Robot Pencil Case".


Robottom by James Asher


Motorcycle Sign


EZY Dose

Found in an old pharmacy in Bensonhurst, BK.

Fancy Polkadot Pencils


List of Puppets


Please Phone Ring-A-Ling

Another cash-in record by Kid Stuff Records. This one for good ol' E.T. But me think this got the stuff to make a great hip-hop song. I don't Kanye could handle it, but maybe Lil' Wayne.
 

Kazooed On Klassics!

I used to like to open with this when I DJ. When you first get to a gig, it's usually a little more empty and you can get away with playing zanier things. In my mind, this song set the tone for the night, letting the everyone know I was gonna play crazy stuff. But at the height of the party I'd always be in there, plugging in those songs that I knew, without a doubt, that the crowd would like. Part of this song plays in Sixteen Candles, when the bus drives up and all the crazy kids come spilling out. Then Anthony Michael Hall tries to kick it to Molly Ringwald.

Another One Of My Books That Didn't Do So Well

Once the itching started, it was all over.




My Wife

This is a picture of my wife, Melia, taken when she was 8 or 9 years old.  Melia lives with us here in Frankie's Apartment, but mostly she likes to stay away from all the fanfare.  I'm allowed to do the show, so long as I contain the activities of the apartment gang to our little set in my workshop.  Sure, she doesn't mind if Sudsy cleans up a little when she's at work, but sometimes I don't think she can see him the way I do.  Rubbish knows to stay out of her way: the last time he asked her to make him an espresso she threw a boiling vat of spaghetti at him and screamed from the top of the kitchen table while throwing the fancy knives we have stashed in our butcher block.  

The Square Song: Two Versions

This is Susan's rendition, my favorite.




And here's another one.


Vintage Nike Sneakers: Rainbow Nike Runners

For some reason, I could just never bring myself to actually wear these.  I always wanted to put them on for a special occasion or some kind of performance, but I never had the heart to scuff them up.

Davey and Goliath Music

From the Art Clokey claymation cartoon.  Religious, but really good and creepy.  Here are two VHS-recorded tracks from the beginning and the end.

Sanctus

The main song and surprise Top 40 smash from the Lindsay Anderson directed movie "if..."  This is Santus by Missa Luba.  At the end of "if..." they blow up the school.


Silicon Teens "Just Like Eddie"


OVNI

O.V.N.I. by Solarion. Sort of like a French "Lean On Me".
