Top 10 Franklin Mint Blog Posts of 2009

Though my posts were sporadic for much of 2009 I feel I did enough to warrant a Top 10 List. Here you go...

1- Scatman Crothers Week!
Scatman was also #1 on last year's Top 10 List. I'm a huge fan of Scatman's and there just isn't that much out there about him on the web. So someone had to do it. This link takes you to his music but I suggest you check out the entire Scatman Crothers Week!


2- Sonia Manzano
Ahhh, my first love. Here, I talked about Sonia's role as Maria and shared a bunch of her Sesame Street songs. I also did an extensive search tracking down some of her rarely seen roles outside of Sesame Street.

3- Sonny Sharrock
Sonny Sharrock is one of my guitar influences. Check out the mix I made or get the Space Ghost: Coast to Coast soundtrack.






4- Joanna Cameron
Isis! Another love of mine. Like Sonia (#2), I tracked down Joanna's other forgotten movie and TV roles.







5- Pinball
Pinball movies! Pinball cartoons! Pinball music!








6- Kristy McNichol
Another crush of mine. Here, you'll find clips from Kristy's movies – some rare – and an album she made with her brother Jimmy.






7- Beastie Boy - "Sabotage"
My Beastie Boys "Sabotage" parody I made with my kids.








8- Beck / Thurston Moore / Tom Surgal - The Cooler NYC (1998)
Here I talk about my experience at this secret Beck/Thurston Moore show. You can download two versions of it – one of them I personally recorded.





9- My Top 10 Charles Bronson Films
Charles Bronson was a bad ass! See clips and/or download music from my 10 most favorite Charles Bronson films.



10- Maureen McCormick
Marcia! Marcia! Marcia! Yet another childhood love of mine. Again, I tracked down some of Maureen's less known roles in movies and television. You can also download an album she made with Christopher Knight.
