It's hard to imagine how shocking this film was when it first broke on the film scene in 1968. There's never been anything quite like it, though it's inspired numerous pale imitations. Part of the terror lies in the fact that this one's shot in such a raw, unadorned fashion it feels like a home movie, and all the more authentic for that. Another is that it draws us into its world gradually, content to establish a merely spooky atmosphere before leading us through a horrifically logical progression that we could hardly have anticipated. The story is simple. Radiation from a fallen satellite has caused the dead to walk and hunger for human flesh. Once bitten, you become one of them. And the only way to kill one is by a shot or blow to the head. We follow a group holed up in a small farmhouse to fend off the inevitable onslaught of the dead. And it's the tensions between the members of this unstable, makeshift community that drive the film. Night of the Living Dead establishes its savagery as a necessary condition of life. Marked by fatality and a grim humour, it gnaws through to the bone, then proceeds on to the marrow.--Jim Gay

TV Party's final season was broadcast live in color on Channel J a public access commercial station. TV Party tried to pay the extra expense of going to color by selling ads to downtown clubs and underground record companies. Everything here is for sale Glenn announces. Desperation is in the air. Glenn is missing a tooth and needs a haircut. The party is spunky but the cast is depleted and possibly drugged. The TV Party theme music by Walter Steding and rap by Glenn O'Brien opens the show. The show features the TV Party Orchestra with Lenny Ferrari and guitarist Karen Geniece joined by Charles Rocket on heavy metal accordion played through a stack of Marshall amps and an array of guitar pedals. Rocket had just been fired from Saturday Night Live for swearing live on air and his performance of Wild Thing is a triumph of post-modern drollness. He actually gets screaming feedback out of his squeezebox. Jeffrey Lee Pierce of Gun Club shows up with a broken guitar but borrows one and does a soulful Robert Johnson country blues. The half Japanese New York band Eel Dogs plays. Lothar Manteuffel one of Germany's top new wavers ends the show jamming with Rocket on one of the latter's compositions Why Can't I Get Laid. Who knows what he's singing in German. Tracklist: 1.Eel Dogs 2.Loose Joints 3.Al Aronowitz 4.Iraqi princess 5.'I Would Like To' - Walter Steding
