| Killdozer - opening and "trailer" |
 |
Killdozer was a now-cult made for TV movie
from the 1970's. Veteran actors play veteran
construction crew clearing terrain for an oil
company, 200 miles off coast of Africa, that
come under attack by one of their own
bulldozers.
Actually, the bulldozer (the mighty D-9'er)
has been contaminated by some kind of
malevolent meteorite radiation, and perhaps
its mind, located in its shovel evidently,
has turned murderously psychotic.
This after striking a rock with early Robert
Urich (Mac) at the controls--who succumbs
early from a the effects of a massive
'bangeroo' headache from the encounter. Or
maybe, more spectacularly, it is being
remotely controlled by extraterrestial forces
as Dutch speculates. It's more likely that
it is being controlled by Hollywood and its
conventions since it starts its murder spree
by knocking off Beltrane, the only black guy
in the cast. You won't know until the end!
Movies today try to look real, but movies
like this, and its later (man vs machine)
cousins, The Car and the classic Duel, share
that 70's trademark of hardnosed grittiness
and dedicated character studies, that make
them at least FEEL real!

video and description taken from

All of us here at Touch and Go are pleased to
announce the release of the first in our web
series of mini-videos about our 25th
anniversary birthday bash held last September
at the Hideout here in Chicago. Now, for all
of you who couldn't make the trek, here's a
way (other than all those blurry youtube
videos) to check out Big Black's stellar set,
David Yow in all his writhing glory, or any
of the 29 other bands that rocked thousands
of socks off in one glorious weekend.
The series kicks off on our website this
Monday, January 22 with an overview of the
block party and how it came to happen. Then,
starting January 29, we'll begin posting
band-specific clips from every set of the
weekend. We don't want to give too much away
about the first few posts, but you can expect
to see a little old-school, some more recent
faves, and even one from a band that's so new
they haven't released a record on Touch and
Go yet. In the weeks and months to come,
check back every Monday for a new video from
a different act blending live performance and
interview footage in commemoration of 25
years of Touch and Go
