Arch madness: Andy Milligan's Seeds

Grindhouse madman Andy Milligan made some really questionable pics. The ones I've caught have been pretty unexceptional, but the excellent bio The Ghastly One does inspire on to check out his other works, especially, this excellent bit of baroque camp, Seeds. Milligan is like the Kuchar Bros, but meaner and with more melodramatic pretention (and without the insanely brilliant Kuchar sense of humor, which provided the blueprint for John Waters).

What the Swingin' Sixties did to Busby Berkeley (and Nelson Eddy for that matter)

This muscial number from the pretty much entirely forgotten Roseland from 1970 evokes the great movie musicals of Hollywood's Golden Era, on a shoestring budget and with a wonderfully bent sense of humor. The guy doing the Eddy-like vocal turn looks a helluva lot like Howard Kaylan of Turtles/Flo and Eddie fame, but it's his moves that really sell the bit. Dig it.
