BRUCE WILLIS
The Return Of Bruno
1987 Canada pressing

The UNDISPUTED champion of bad celebrity albums.
And I don’t think it’s particularly close.

It’s a game my followers and I have been playing since I started this MASTO.
If you have any awful celebrity albums in your collection (or you see one out in the wild), take a picture and @ me, so we can be miserable TOGETHER. 😂

My son saw this in my collection this morning and asked me “Wait…Dad… is that John McClane?!?! He made an album?!??”

Yes, son.
He made an album.
A few, actually.

And son… the awful terrorist acts committed by Hans Gruber and his men that fateful night in Los Angeles at Nakatomi Plaza PALE in comparison to the terrorism contained on this record.

The first thing that most rich white people do when they attempt to play blues is suck all the feeling, meaning and soul out of it.

Yippie kay-yay motherfucker.

JOHNNY MANDEL
M*A*S*H (Original Soundtrack Recording)
1970 Canada pressing

Simultaneously one of my favorite #movies AND #television shows of all time.

The show was CONSTANTLY on in syndication when I was a kid (4 episodes a day on two different channels EVERY day), and that theme song was so haunting to me even as a ten year old.

It took me until I was about 13 to realize that there was a MOVIE first, which came out a whole 2 years previous to the show.

This soundtrack of course has “Suicide Is Painless” on it, as well as dialogue from the movie, including some hilarious intercom announcements.

Robert Altman was on record many times stating he loathed and despised the television show.

Your loss, dude.

Blue Mitchell, Down With It, 1966 on Blue Note

Another fantastic Blue Note jazz LP, this came out originally in 1966. It features Mitchell (trumpet) with Junior Cook (tenor sax), Chick Corea (piano), Gene Taylor (bass), and Aloysius Foster (drums), and was recorded at Van Gelder Studios in New Jersey.

My copy- via a private sale – is the Blue Note Tone Poet reissue from 2024, cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and pressed at RTI. Great sound and packaging.

TOM WAITS & CRYSTAL GAYLE
One From The Heart - The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
1982 Canada pressing

A sentimental favorite of mine for Saturday morning breakfast.

The project where Tom Waits met his wife Kathleen Brennan, and where Tom said he learned to be a more focused, disciplined songwriter.

There’s some beautiful songs on this thing, and Crystal Gayle (surprisingly!) is a wonderful vocal partner for Waits.

It’s one of those soundtracks that is FAR superior to the movie that birthed it, as the film is one of Francis Ford Coppola’s most flawed.

Gorgeous songs here, though.

SINGLE BULLET THEORY
Single Bullet Theory
1982 U.S. pressing

A fun, jaunty upbeat #80s #newwave #powerpop #alternative record for a Friday night.

SBT’s only full-length studio album, which surprised me, because it sounds so good in the context of what was happening at the time.

It’s big, bright, and shiny with great sounding guitars, nice hooks, and expert production.

“Slide Away” is a killer rocker, and is the album’s highlight for me.

Super-enjoyable record.

When will Jon Bon Jovi be brought to justice for his crimes against music?

Love the bar going through his head.

He deserves it.

VARIOUS ARTISTS
The Enigma Variations
1985 U.S. 2xLP Compilation

Friday is finally here!
Celebrating with one of my all-time favorite compilations.

A KILLER assortment of #80s #alternative , #synthpop , #newwave and #powerpop with some of my most beloved underground bands of that decade.
Bands like Jet Black Berries, Leaving Trains, Red Kross, Rain Parade, Green On Red, and Game Theory just to name a few.

However, one song in particular was the sole reason I bought this.

John Trubee was a bit of a cult figure. An underground poet, writer and musician whose claim to fame is the song that appears here, “A Blind Man’s Penis”.

The song made him an underground celebrity in the #80s & this is only one of about 500 compilations that the song has appeared on.

I’ve looked for the 7” single for years, but have never come across one.

When I saw that it was on this comp, it was no brainer.
