We, Persistent Itch, just released a video for a single on our upcoming album. The bass is pretty grindtastic, so hope you dig it if that is your thing!

New Stoner Rock/ Grunge release

I like it but it strangely brings back memories of David Hasselhoff and a black firebird trans am.
Kit's manners were definitely top shelf. I would say at least on par with Mr. Belvedere's. Used to love knight rider when I was a kid and the helicopter version; "Air Wolf".
I seem to remember, in that later one-off comeback TV movie (where his guts were removed from the black Trans Am, and put in something like a pink Cadillac, if I remember correctly), that K.I.T.T. started swearing like a docker.
The dismantling of KITT was extremely tragic. After a few seasons they gave him plastic surgery and then turbo boost meant all sorts of things popped out for 'aerodynamics', but that started the body dysmorphia trend.
The Knight 4000 was the final straw in KITT losing himself to the pressures of Hollywood
I mean, to be fair, even Michael Knight underwent significant plastic surgery.
Before being blasted in the face with a shotgun :
After reconstructive surgery :
The thing I never understood, was if Michael underwent plastic surgery to look like his identical twin brother Garthe (for some reason that makes no sense in a covert organisation)...
...or if Garthe was similarly blasted in the face, and went to the same plastic surgeon, who only knows how to make one face?
Conclusion : getting blasted in the face with a shotgun is apparently a great way to make yourself more physically attractive.
Thread hijacked by the Hoff. I've been here a loooong time and that's a new one.
Like all in house, and with phones. Had a session at a buddies house who had a cool room with his artwork, a few live vids cause we try to do that when we play, and just a few pieces of AI generated clips.. Edited was I believe wondershare or Openshot video editor. I guess the AI stuff on RunwayML was 50 so pretty much the total cost as me and the drummer know how to edit.
Garthe was not his biological twin. Garthe was Wilton’s actual son, and when Wilton “recruited” Michael by taking his almost dead body and giving him a new face and name, he made Michael look like his son and gave him his last name Knight.
No wonder Garthe was so pissed off all the time.
I think we were served up that show from the wrong point of view - maybe it would have been more interesting with Garthe as the protagonist, trying to get his life back from the cuckoo that had shoved him out of the nest.
Michael would be such a smug, manipulative, and infuriating antagonists, viewed from that perspective.
And The Hoff is waaaaaayyyyyy better playing Garthe; he doesn't have much to do as Michael - the character is pretty one note. He's always having a ton more fun playing Garthe - he's way more intense, more charming, more wild, more motivated - the character actually requires some range from the actor, which Hoff never gets to display with Michael (or Mitch Buchannon, or Simon in the frickin' awesome Starcrash).
It's actually impressive to see the physical, and facial / expressive differences Hoff manages to pull off to differentiate between the two characters (yeah, even the moustache
), it really highlight how bland Michael is.
