that's michael behind the desk on the right in black/white face reading a godzilla comic. then there are two oiled-up pieces of beefcake rising off the floor (?), a dark one in a speedo with a huge shiny log-chain around his neck (??), the blond one in a sumo-diaper thing and what looks like christ's spear wound on his ribs (???). michael is on the back side in white shorts similarly floating off the floor with two suitcases.

the second (i'm guessing, for gay-squeaming audiences) puts the floating-suitcase michael on the front cover, and EXCISES COMPLETELY the stigmata-chain-diaper-south-beach-titty-tan-angels. so don't get that one!

meanwhile, "squeaming"??

And again.

In retrospect I appreciate how Ron Howard's bit with the sunglasses is a tribute to David Caruso before his time.

I needed the laugh.

god god the god blessed the true name of fun.

the man is my avatar pic at the dubstep forum. lol...must delete?

NEVER!

YOU MUST HONOR SEMBELLO WITH EVERY LAST BREATH

he really needs to release a quality mp3 of the rap theme to Monster Squad. that shit is something else.

my employees at work speak almost no english so tomorrow i am going to say sembello in almost every sentence to throw them off.

New website.

He has apparently recovered his sanity -- although the list of recent production credits suggests he never truly lost it.

And I have to confess I really like the smooth-jazz version of "Maniac" that auto-plays.

Underrated.

As a kid, I had this generic "BMX Freestyle" VHS in addition to various contests and BMX Plus! and Team HARO and the like. Most of the footage was old and corny by the time I picked it up in the early 90s. But sometimes, 25 years later, I'd still find myself with the corny-ass songs stuck in my head. Finally stumbled on it on youtube the other day and whaddaya know? Michael Sembello!

On a related note, I spent last night figuring out how to play that Beat Farmers song from the RAD soundtrack.
