3 videos selected by James Pants :
1 – Stairway to Stardom (1983) – The Mellowettes
“This video is one of many from the excellent 80s public access television show, “Stairway to Stardom.” There’s so many good performances, but I really love this one. It’s the borriqua version of the Frankie Lymon hit. The girl in stripes nails it!.”
2 – Roye’l – I Found A Girl
“This might be the best public access cable performance I’ve ever seen. PBWolf showed me this one, so I have to give all credit to him. Your man Roye’l is singing about his girl, T’Coco with a “fresh alternative” style. This is the future!”
3 – The Curry King
“I have to have one shameless plug for my new business venture, of course. My global curry awareness initiative – “James Pants: The King of Curry.” There will be t-shirts, postcards, recipe books, public speaking engagements, radio interviews, a syndicated morning time show, lectures, silk screened beach towels, etc… I’m just letting you all in on the secret early.”
