The soundtrack to Dirty Dancing sent me off in directions of 1960s dance and doo-wop and also 1980s pop in a big way.
Brazil Classics 1 - Beleza Tropical, was compiled by David Byrne from Talking Heads and has some incredible Latin stuff on it.
Hugh Masekela – The Chisa Years 1965-1975 (Rare And Unreleased) has some African jazz and funk that sounds like nothing else and is what American funk would sound like five to ten years later.
Pomegranates, from 2009, is a compilation of pre-revolution Iranian funk that is shockingly listenable.
Most shows like this are decent in their first season, and that’s why they get a second. Keeping it interesting is the problem, and all the Walking Dead shows pretty much fail there.
Season 1 of Fear was just kind of okay, but had a viewership boost from the parent show. Season 2 was a significant improvement. Season 3 was actually shockingly good and made me excited for where the show was going next. Season 4 booted the showrunner, replaced them with Gimple, and destroyed all interest I had in the show. I have no idea if it’s gotten better since then, but Season 3 was the best season of both shows, and Season 4 was the worst season of both.
Oh you made me realise that it’s not just about wanting a bad show. Walking Dead World Beyond was bad, but in a not-entertaining way. Fear The Walking Dead was bad, but entertaining. I’m not sure how to describe it.
