Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Sacrilige!
Rapper's Delight was the previous year. Everyone knows that the Sugarhill Gang precedes Blondie.
Blondie were very good at seeing an existing trend and adapting it to their style, from the Disco of Heart Of Glass to the Rap of, er, Rapture. Debbie even name-checks Hip Hop stars Fab Five Freddy and Grandmaster Flash in the song. But to say there would be no Rap today without Debbie? Calvin, I think you're trying to wind us up :-)
You boys are both right. I always give Blondie her props because the song was a huge hit and made it easier for rappers to make music after her...something that we could have all done without after 30 years. I don't really like much of the music, the fact that they don't play their own instruments and wear matching pjamas. I was hoping for some backlash guys. Thanks for being relevant.
TOTALLY AGREE.
"All hail Debra Harry..!!"
Although I can't stand hip-hop.
Still Beautiful .....
Thank you for giving us an idea of what to post for today's "Music Video Month" post....
although we really Hate "rap"....
She popularized the style and made it possible for other groups to bring forward what had influence her. Not that I LIKE rap.
What is it with all you guys not liking hiphop? I'm genuinely surprised.
It really depends on the song or group. I liked Run DMC back in the day.
