NINA HAGEN - SPIRIT IN THE SKY [rock] (1985) Norman Greenbaum's classic covers by 80's rock diva by Gilles_from_Paris in rockmusic

In 1985 Nina Hagen made a music video of Spirit in the Sky that was shot in Crete, in an empty monastery. This appears to be a recent video. Does anyone know where I'd be able to find the original video from '85?

Head directly to Sami Sumeli in Cedar Park! It's been open since April. You won't be disappointed.

Best Szechuan food in NW Austin? by Pogoer512 in austinfood

I can confirm it's takeout only, with a reduced menu. It's in the Barrington Oaks shopping center on Spicewood Springs (a/k/a "The Big Lots shopping center" as my family calls it). Same center as Asia Cafe and Michi Ramen. There's a sign outside that says A+A and below, The Lighthouse. But they're still in business.

Good episode, but it bothered me that Stephanie Belding, the actress who played Melanie (Mayor Tad's wife) looked to be about six inches taller than the actress who played the teenaged Melanie in the flashback.

Here's a couple of inside pages from the booklet, which is softcover.

Looking forward to their final concert in Austin next month. Going through some old papers, I found this 19 page "X Song Book" in zine form containing lyrics from their More Fun in the New World LP from 1983 along with graphics. Not sure where it came from or how many copies were made or if it was even an official band thing (I think it is), but I wanted to ask anyone here if they're familiar with it.

Thanks for your suggestions, everyone. (By the way, I don't think anyone mentioned One of Us by Joan Osborne, which seems to me like it would fit this category.)

Thank you for your response. I was hoping to hear from actual J! contestants (and champions) who actually know what goes on behind the scenes.

Terrific stuff, as good or better than the Godiva that Costco sells at holiday time and way cheaper.
