This video is totally absurd and pretty amazing. First off, the crowd is going NUTS for Pablo Cruise to the point where the hoots and applause overpower the music. Secondly, a woman attempts to flash the camera (again, during aPablo Cruise show). Third, the first song is a straight-up rocker and is legitimately great. If you're a fan of early 80s' "live concert" tv specials (or just Pablo Cruise in general) you'll find a lot to love (and laugh at) here!

Happy belated birthday, Jay Ferguson!

Kiss & Fly (Stats 12" Remix)

The fine blokes in STATS have conjured up an amazingly ridiculous/incredible remix of "Kiss & Fly." Recommended if you like big beat, baggy, or grebo!

Kool “real live” TOTP kutt from these lifers.  Dig that groove!

[mikepaceandthechildactors]

Never appreciated how brutal this cut is until now.

I love Yes but I REALLY love Jon Anderson's voice.  I love when he sings dense, complex epics like side 2 of Tales from Topographic Oceans, but I also also love when he indulges his more "pop" side, as in his work with Vangelis or this one-off single from 1986 with Mike "Tubular Bells" Oldfield.  It's about as far from prog as you can get.

Mike Pace & The Child Actors played at Union Hall in Brooklyn last month and the folks at NYC Taper were kind enough to produce a recording of the performance!

Stream “Cold Calling” and “Movin’ Out (Billy Joel cover)” performed LIVE here!

Is your PASSPORT up to date?  Just getting his to this "Eurasian jazz fusion" group and so far, so great!

HEY LADIES!!! All of my pro wrestling fanatics should check out the Old School Wrestling Podcast; it's one of my faves. Dre and Black Cat dissect classic matches with the precision of a hilarious surgeon. I've made some music for these guys in the past and on this week's episode they play some tunes and talk about BEST BOY, in addition to an old WWWF card from 1979. Killer kayfabe, kids!

Snap into the weekend with this sundrenched burst of early 80's fusion-y goodness.

[mikepaceandthechildactors]

I could never really get down with the vocal stylings of Grace Slick (or this particular track's awful, awful lyrics), but I'll give her a pass on this Conan the Barbarian-esque epic stomper from 1971's Sunfighter album with Paul Kanter.  And dig that cover!

[mikepaceandthechildactors]

Picked up a stack of bargain bin beauties recently including the aforementioned Barnaby Bye record and this especially uncool yet totally great and soothingly smooth Jeff Lorber Fusion LP from '79, Water Sign.  Be right back...just gonna cruise back and forth on the Tappan Zee blasting this one.

[mikepaceandthechildactors]

Digging the exquisite early 70s soft rock vibes of Long Island brethern BARNABY BYE, and this cut (mistakenly titled here, it's actually "The Day Came On") from their 1973 debut Room to Grow, in particular.  Stay warm out there, friends!

[mikepaceandthechildactors]

Flogging!  Sploshing!  Cake batter!  Two Mike Pace and the Child Actors songs played "punker" than usual!  There's something for everyone on this fetish-flavored episode of The Chris Gethard Show.

[mikepaceandthechildactors]

Super excited to announce that Best Boy is now available for purchase on iTunes and Amazon.  Vinyl is available thru Bandcamp, Self-Starter Foundation, LaserLand and Crazy Eddie.  It's been a long time coming and I'm psyched to share it with yinz.  Thanks for listenin'!
