Survivor: Samoa's Marisa...

The first Survivor voted off this season was Marisa from Cincinnati, OH. She was a victim of Russell H.'s crazy scheming.

I talked with her earlier tonight during the Retro Show on Star 102.5.

She revealed a bit more about the Tribal Council process and why she looked so wiped out after it. I also had to ask about what happens to contestants who are voted out so early in the game. And she also talked about someone she thought was way more annoying than Russell H.

Find out all of that and more in the full interview with Marisa here.

Werewolf now won't be out on DVD...

I'm always psyched when an obscure 80's TV show is set for DVD release. That was the case with Werewolf, an early FOX TV show that lasted only 28 episodes (plus the two-hour pilot).

Shout Factory planned to release the entire series. They had the cover art ready and were prepping the episodes. And then disaster struck.

Music licensing. That's always such a pain (I know first-hand the annoyances involved with that).

Two of the artists whose songs were used in the show wouldn't allow their music to be used in the DVD release. The scenes the songs were in were too important to the storyline to be edited out and the music track couldn't be separated from the rest of the audio tracks (the unmixed masters no longer exist or couldn't be found). So because of those two artists, Shout Factory had no choice but to scrap the entire release.

Who are the two greedy artists? As of now, the company won't release the names or the problem songs. Hopefully, someone will leak the artists' names eventually.

But the episodes have been aired on TV a couple years ago on the Chiller network (music licensing for TV reruns is completely different than for DVD releases, so the songs could be used for that). So maybe they'll start airing them again and Werewolf won't just be forgotten forever.

Visit the Werewolf website for memories of the TV series. For now, that's the best there is.

And thank you to the tvshowsondvd website for keeping the world up-to-date on all the TV show DVD releases (and in this case, non-releases).

Very cool Coldplay video...

I've been loving this song on my iPod for the past couple months. The video is just as great. It kind of reminds me of that old book "Harold And The Purple Crayon" if it were updated for today.

After seeing the 30-second preview, you'll absolutely want to see the full-length video...

Tommy Shaw's Girls With Guns...

Retro Trivia tonight was all about Styx's Tommy Shaw since it's his birthday today.

I mentioned his biggest solo hit Girls With Guns, but it appears I'm one of only a few that actually remembers it.

Maybe my taste in retro music is too obscure and unknown - Brian Demay (Star's Program Director) is constantly telling me that. I suggested some songs today for the Retro Show and his e-mail response was the equivalent of rolling his eyes. Our taste in retro music is very different, that's for sure! :)

But Girls With Guns WAS a hit - how can you all not remember it?! It was #33 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #6 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in 1984. AND it was featured in an episode of Miami Vice, one of the biggest shows on-air back then.

The video for it is very cool as it's all filmed in one continuous scene. Check it out...
