LEFTOVERS.

Premiering a full-course meal such as the video for THE OUTRUNNERS ‘DIAMONDS’ leaves us with a good helping of leftovers. Today’s discovery comes in a 1987 commercial for Pizza Hut entitled “The Test”. The atmospheric sounds that play over extreme-close-ups of building a pizza create a super-serious mood that would have been appropriate for one of those early science videos they made you watch in elementary school.

BE MINE.

Today TNUC has been smooched, pecked, manhandled, groped, stroked, caressed, humped and fondled more times than you can shake a stick at. As you can see in the photo, he’s got the high-school-hickies to show for it! This Valentines Day, grab your #1 squeeze and plant a few on her for TNUC. Hopefully she’s the kind of woman that makes you drop to your knees and thank God you are a man. For touching background music, originally I was going to post Tangerine Dream’s ‘Love On a Real Train’, but that just felt too predictable. It just so happens that today Binary Entertainment is releasing the new single from Futurecop!, ‘Dreams’ (featuring Keenhouse) and it’s simply mouth watering.

Head on over to any of the major music conglomerates to purchase the track and support delicious music. Or if your lady just fondled your privates and you’re too spent to do anything, just go pick it up on iTunes right here.

GIANNI ROSSI.

For many years this photo was the only conclusive evidence to the existence and whereabouts of soundtrack composer Gianni Rossi. But just recently, the following press release was uncovered:
 

Italo / Canadian composer Gianni Rossi, once considered the World’s top session keyboardist, has had his share of ups and downs. By the age of 25 he had scored several minor dance hits in Central America. He owned condos on both sides of the Atlantic and a private jet to get him back and forth. But by 30 he was in a penitentiary somewhere in Eastern Europe – where he would remain for 15 years. In 2009, After a failed political career and many trips to Betty Ford clinics, Rossi returned to the spotlight with “Gutterballs: The Original Motion Picture Score”. The highly original disco-rock sound captivated the world – though Rossi soon found himself back in rehab. But now he’s back again, working once more with director Ryan Nicholson on his latest slasher film “Star Vehicle”. “Star Vehicle: The Original Motion Picture Score” is classic Rossi, seamlessly blending cinematic electro-disco and rock in ways never before imagined.

Special thanks to Alejandro “Alex” Sosa for giving us the tip on Mr. Rossi. He forwarded us the aforementioned information after the two of them recently sat down for lunch at Sosa’s estate in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Once Gianni Rossi found out that Sosa’s drug empire stretches across the Andes, he had his associates contact Sosa to conduct business. For the last 10 years Gianni Rossi has been selling leisure suits and cashmere sweaters to Sosa. He also performed at Sosa’s wedding and both children’s birthday parties.

ITALIAN MUSTACHED STRANGERS OF THE NIGHT.

Deepest apologies for the lack of updates lately. There has been a hotbed of activity over at TNUC Laboratories in the past few weeks…working on NEW feature presentations for ‘TNUC Home Video’ and eating way too much oozy-cartoon-looking pizza. We’re also tossing different ideas around for paraphernalia to give to you keepers of the good book this year. So far T-shirts, slap bracelets, single Road Warrior-esque shoulder pads, beer koozies, stickers and dangling-cross “T” earrings are currently being discussed at a classified board meeting at headquarters.

But today, the focus is on a distinct group of individuals we like to call Italian Mustached Strangers of the Night. These minimally facial-haired phantoms are most likely seen leaving Italo Disco clubs in the early morning hours, then hopping in sports cars to drive to their villas to catch the sun coming up with a lucky lady (or two) by their side. During the golden era of Italo and Euro Disco, they were the front runners and torchbearers of this exquisite brand of music.

Before we get into the heavy stuff, here are a few ground rules so that you don’t get a true IMSOTN confused with a poseur-tryhard-hipster-pubescence:
 
1) Mustache thicker and tighter than eyebrow.
2) Skin is deeply tanned, Mediterranean style. Not pasty and pale.
3) Sporting accessories of gold such as necklaces, sunglasses, bracelets, earrings and dolphin rings. Not wannabe smart horn-rims or cheap plastic retro toys like a retro digital watch.
4) Italian or American sports cars. Not an altered wheelchair called a fixiebike.
5) Hanging around at the beach, gym or a venturous discotheque. Not the library, vernissage or an indie concert.
Take for example, Casablanca. Even though they allegedly hail from Germany, the IMSOTN craze struck on all continents and these strangers could well have been your next door neighbors. If you want to truly educate yourself and fathom the IMSOTN style, take a look at the photo of the key-tar player from the group in an all-white jumpsuit. You will now fully comprehend. Casablanca’s 1987 single ‘Angel of Night’ is a war cry for all IMSOTN.

Support this movement by joining the Italian Mustached Strangers of the Night (IMSOTN) Facebook Fan Page, where fans like yourself can post Italo video favorites and pictures of yourself posing with IMSOTN that you randomly run into on the street.
