Some people told us that all the actors really died during the shooting of this video. whereCould it Beefaroni, first time it's available any!! Shave a look or your that masked stranglehold blabbermouth!

On march, 27th, 2010 a discussant on WFMU-blog-bout mysteri Austrian punk-videocassette one poster seemed bure if this video hallucinated from 1980/81s indicaten youthful featherbrained art-school fake from the 90s/2000s. Some commented on the video as 'weirder than devo' or 'pre-clinc creepiness days later WMBR 88.1 FM-dj Jon Bernhardt played the song in his 'Breakfast of Champions'- radio show and credited it to an Austrian filmmaker named 'Al Bird Gore' - but also seemed uncertain about the real name of the band/singer of 'One potato two potato'
In early 1981 the Austrian conceptual artist and Punk Rock musician '???' - (his remains unknown) - recorded the song 'One Potato, Two Potato' and hired some dancers for the video shoot. He taped the footage he needed for his film in his own Viennese flat, using a - by then - professional video camera. After that he dubbed the song to a VHS-cassette and edited the film using an analogue video editing system. As the myth goes, '???' went crazy during the shoot of his film: He killed all the actors in front of the camera - using small outtakes of those murders for the finished version. After that, he hung himself, recording that last stunt as the final scene of his film.
ONE POTATO, TWO POTATO was considered lost forever. However, in December 2008 the original (?) video tape suddenly showed up on American eBay, being sold to a private Austrian collector for 899 US-Dollars

God's sake... the quality is very poor even for a VHS-cassette.
Anyway, it's a great an mega rare document.

(mp3) Ronnie James Dio: The Early Years - WFMU's Beware of the Blog VIA dave the spazz

Ronnie James Dio: The Early Years

Novelty records, like everything else, reside somewhere between Heaven and Hell. For 67 years Ronnie James Dio resided there as well.
Early in his musical career the recently departed Ronald James Padavona of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, dwelled in the shadows of the greasy R&B/ white vocal group sound. Before Dio, Elf, Rainbow and Black Sabbath ruled the pimpled Earth, there trod The Vegas Kings, Ronnie & The Rumblers, Ronnie & The Red Caps and finally Ronnie Dio & the Prophets.

Great Balls of Fire is surprisingly tepid however Blue Days from the live pizza place LP ranks as some truly swingin' fare. Many of these early sides serve Dio's legacy well, long before the wagging of the malocchia/mano cornuto hands, before the poodle do, before the dubious and ultimately triumphant days of shemping for Sabbath.

My favorite early Dio romp is his loopy take on

Love Potion No. 9. Despite mangling the lyrics (seemingly from memory), Dio hits all the designated marks that firmly plant this 45 into an inky novelty purgatory. Spoken intro, cappy old Madame Rue voice, pouring and bubbling sound effects--Dio catapults to musical greatness in anticipation of his non-ducktail years to come.

In one way, this is an awesome post. How cool to hear these rare recordings of a young Ronnie James. On the other hand, the smug tone of the posting makes me cringe.

Incredible! As a senior, he was a member of the slide rule club? And class president? Little Richie Cunningham, what did the 70's do to you???

Posted by: K. | May 18, 2010 at 03:06 PM

I had spent less than five seconds in my life thinking about Dio until I heard he was 67 when he died. I thought, that puts him in a totally different generation.....and along comes Dave The Spazz with context to burn. (or, context to BURN!!!!)

I'm not going to be able to listen to these until tomorrow afternoon. One thing you can say about the more familiar stuff from this guy is that he controlled his voice better than some folks control their TV. These older tracks should support my hypothesis that he was never just the guy with the practice space, P/A, van and microphone, who *ahem* just sang the guitar lines.

My favorite Dio stint was when he sat in w/ the Sea Monkeys for "Everything's Archie"! It inspired a 180 degree turnabout in Jughead's Food Emporium scene that is just now culminating in this Archie/Twilight crossover story arc:

Although short in stature, Dio had the voice and heart of a giant! I've seen him in most of his later incarnations. And when my wife and I were lucky enough to meet him in Yucaipa,CA 10 years ago, he was very kind. He invited us on his tour bus. Signed our tickets. Gave me a T-Shirt and my wife a hug! His generousity is also evidenced in the LP and Video of "HEAR 'N AID", formed by the Heavy Meatal community after they were excluded by the folks at "We Are The World". The resulting song, STARS, features some of Metal's finest. Check it out, if you can.

Despite how constrained he allowed himself to be by genre he really could have done about anything with his voice.

Posted by: bartelby | May 19, 2010 at 09:11 AM

@Tommy Z: From what I'm told, Dio was a good guy with a self-effacing sense of humor. I genuinely like these early 45s and this was my backhanded way of paying tribute to an acknowledged legend. I hope that somewhat diffuses what you perceive to be smugness on my part.

@Dead Bob! How the hell are ya? I wrote about you here:

Who knew?! I'm blown away that he was from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I lived across the river in Kittery, Maine from '68-'71. What a dull place it must've been in the early 60's because it was truly squaresville going back there throughout the 70's.

Hi Dave. I should have left the last sentence off my comment. This is a really great posting, with interesting information and not just platitudes.

Posted by: Tommy Z | May 19, 2010 at 03:39 PM

Thanks Dave! This is exactly the stuff I was curious to hear and you put it all in one place! thanks!!

This is so cool. Thank you. For the record, while Dio was born in NH, his family moved to Cortland, NY, when he was very young and that is where he was when he recorded the above songs. Sorry to nitpick. I live in Cortland. The fact that Dio grew up here is one of the coolest things about the place.
This is my favorite line from Dio's Wikipedia entry: "His parents raised him in the Roman Catholic church, an experience he found unsatisfactory."
