The show has been featured on compilations since the early '90s and TV Carnage nabbed whichever clips they used from one of those compilations. In fact the guys that made the compilations are the same guys who provided Sharpeworld with the clips, and one of them is interviewed by sharpeworld on NPR about the show.

Furthermore, TV Carnage found out about Stairway to Stardom when sharpeworld told them about it in the late '90s.

there is this video on pittsburgh public access where a topless girl (it runs late at night) dances on a stump to some form of goth rock. i have searched youtube and it does not exist--though i have seen it several times and am flummoxed with each viewing. the lack of video proof kills me--but seriously, it is the most baffling thing i have ever seen.

"My bad", as I believe the kids are saying these days.

And no one on your staff had ever heard of castanets?

It's New York politician Nilda Luz Rexach on castanets, and Jose Adames on the mike. This clip was featured in the legendary Incorrect Music video shows that were done in NYC around 2000.

I've updated the post (though I think TV Carnage might still deserve the discovery credit--I'm pretty sure the "Hairdresser" bit appeared on one their tapes from 2002).

Slater in the crowd dancing on the beach early in the Sondra Pill video.

And I love that Zuma Dogg's cocktail of choice was gin and tonic, instead of gin and juice.

Typical white rapper. What a honkey.

And you haven't lived until you've seen Gloria Huddle covering Manhattan Transfer's "Operator" I'm just sayin'.
