Which, if you haven&#8217;t listened to, you should? Well, Leannan Sidhe have started a similar project. Their lead singer and songwriter was up here at Criminal Studios yesterday, for recording.

I had no idea until recently how many musicians there were in MLP fandom, but look at that thing! And that&#8217;s just from one convention!<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I&#8217;ve been working on restoring a bit of lost fanac from the 1980s. I got a video ripper a few weeks ago and have been pulling things off old VHS cassettes. One of these is a 1985(?) stage-production musical parody of <i>Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan<\/i> called <i>Wrath Side Story<\/i>. It&#8217;s about 40 minutes long and was performed at a convention called BableCon.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s <em>extremely<\/eM> silly, but I think also kind of hilarious.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/scifanatic.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/mad-music2.jpg\"><br \/><i>Not this musical, but&#8230;<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Through repeated rips and a <em>lot<\/em> of massaging, I&#8217;ve got what I think is a watchable beta release. The tape was at its best a third or fourth generation copy and is badly degraded, and there are still a couple of places where video is lost <em>temporarily<\/em> right up front. But it&#8217;s only a couple, and they&#8217;re brief. I still hope to get them back through more rerips and massaging.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to see what other people think, get suggestions, things like that.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1xEZTLuZ77A\"><i>Wrath Side Story<\/i> (now on youtube)<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First: my condolences to everyone in Colorado affected by the shooting spree early this morning.
