Show Notes
This week, I’m joined by actor, author, magician, mentalist, and songwriter Rob Zabrecky (Zabrecky, Possum Dixon & author of Strange Cures), who chose to discuss a music TV series close to both of our hearts: NEW WAVE THEATER.
We also talk about the fantastical stories from Rob's life including his F.B.I. impersonating Uncle and convincing Sherman Hemsley of The Jeffersons to buy Black Flag’s TV Party single, how truth will always out-weird fiction, going out on the road with Dead Milkmen, how it was not unusual to see Drew Barrymore making coffee while Ann Magnuson performed at the legendary L.A. art-weirdo venue Pick Me Up, trying to get Wall Of Voodoo's Stan Ridgway to produced Possum Dixon, Rob walking into Kenzo’s Yogi Magic Mart in Baltimore and it changing his trajectory from music towards magic, the disappearing condom magic stage act of Possum Dixon and Peter Buck's take on seeing it live, performing in front of Penn & Teller, discovering New Wave Theater, Night Flight, Fear, Suburban Lawns, the weirdo bands that appeared on NWT who never made a record, the incredible life of host Peter Ivers, Peter opening for Fleetwood Mac in only a diaper, Peter Ivers super fan Jello Biafra, Peter writing the music for and singing "In Heaven" for David Lynch’s Eraserhead, the dark world of NWT producer/director David Jove, the unsolved murder of Peter Ivers, Circle Jerks, the performance of "The Film We Never Made", the one-act play Rob wrote about Peter Ivers, who should be cast to play Peter Ivers, NWT's opening monologues and the Chris Genkle commercials, 45 Grave and more!
So let's cut to the Ghost Host and hope they don't get beat up by a band on this week's Revolutions Per Movie!!!

This week on Revolutions Per Movie, I had the pleasure of having three souls who not only have swirled in and around the world of the musical/film/performance collective, Elephant 6, but who were also principal in the finishing of the final The Olivia Tremor Control record, The Same Place, completed 27 years after the release of their last record.
