Blue Öyster Cult - Bad Channels


Found the soundtrack from the 1992 Full Moon film, Bad Channels, an attempted Sci-Fi Comedy from Subspecies director Ted Nicolaou. Sadly, Bad Channels isn't very good, or very entertaining, but it is notable for it's soundtrack. Well that and the fact that it stars Martha Quinn, one of the original veejays from MTV from way back when MTV had some kind of reason to have that "M" in the name. Anyway, the soundtrack. In addition to featuring two Blue Oyster Cult songs (which I believe are only available on this album), BOC's guitarist Buck Dharma is credited with writing the score. Apart from the Blue Oyster Cult songs and Buck Dharma score, the album also features several songs by a few unknown bands - Joker, Fair Game, Sykotik Sinfoney, and DMT.

I can't explain why, but the song "Manic Depresso (I'm So Happy)" by Sykotik Sinfony (and the accompanying video featured in the film) scares the living hell out of me. I can watch the scariest of horror films and not bat an eye, but I refuse to ever watch the video from this song again. I don't know, I think it's that little guy in the nun costume. In theory, a little crossdressing nun wailing EVH-style on a guitar while wearing a creepy Halloween mask is hilarious, but frankly it really creeps me out. A lot. In fact the whole band does, but mostly that nun guy, his image is burned into my brain. If you click on the link above, you can find the video I'm talking about on that site. The horror.
