"Five Year Plan" Don't 'cha get uptight Things will be all right Things will be just grand It's a five year plan Chorus: Do ya really listen Can ya understand Do ya really listen to the five year plan You know it's not my style To make you wait a while But until you understand It's a five year plan Repeat Chorus Don't be so rude We'll change your attitude And don't you think it's grand It's a five year plan Repeat Chorus Lyrics: Rick Shaffer Music: Rick Shaffer & Bruce Cohen © 1982 Tarock Music (BMI)

"Martian River" is track 5 on Bruce Cohen's solo album, Two BC, released 9/10/11, by Tarock Music. "Martian River" is an apocalypse on Mars! Take a journey down a river on the planet, and maybe meet your own Kurtz at the end. Lush keyboards and sounds accompanied by tablas sends you on the mission. It's ambient on steroids. "Martian River" is synced to still photographs from the 1959 film, "Plan Nine From Outer Space." directed by Edward D. Wood, Jr. (10/10/1924 -- 12/10/1978), who was also a screenwriter, producer, actor, author, and film editor. In the 1950's, Wood made a number of low-budget science-fiction, horror, and cowboy genre films. In the 1960's and 1970's, he made sexploitation movies, and wrote over eighty pulp crime, horror, and sex novels. In 1980 he was posthumously awarded a Golden Turkey Award as Worst Director of All Time, renewing public interest in his work. Wood's unsuccessful career and camp approach has earned him and his films a cult following. Director Tim Burton's 1994 biopic of Wood's life, "Ed Wood," is a critically acclaimed film that earned two Academy Awards.

Tarock Music called on director and editor, David N. Donihue (Super Rad Motion Picture Group) to give “One More Heartache” the vintage look it required to match Rick Shaffer’s vintage sound. Shaffer’s poignant lyrics of turning your back on what’s continually forced fed to everyone daily demanded Donihue’s expertise of creating commercials and music videos. Donihue’s concept was to tell the story of children choosing not to blindly follow the hype from big company advertising, by visually creating two worlds − the real world in black and white, and the glossy world of advertisers in color. After searching through thousands of 1960’s commercials Donihue creatively shows the progression of the children’s alarmed state to the final conclusion of their ultimate choice. The finished video provides the powerful query − is it what you believe, or what you know. © 2012 Tarock Music “One More Heartache” is track 2 on the album, Idiot Flats.

“Buy And Sell” is the second track on Rick Shaffer’s solo album, Hidden Charms, released February 2011, by Tarock Music. Shaffer continues, expands, and nicely follows-up the feel of his first solo album, Necessary Illusion, released March of 2010. The concept is for Hidden Charms to have a sound both new and old simultaneously, allowing it to find it’s place in a radio mix from 1965, and beyond. The album’s vibe inspired British director, Peter McAdam, to recruit 2011 youth right off the street, and placing them on the set of a 1960’s dance hall he created at High Bridge Studios, Newcastle UK, and letting “Buy and Sell” play . . . loud. The result is a video that also combines new and old, continuing the Hidden Charms concept by having today’s youth easily blend into the 1960’s and not looking, or feeling, out of place.

“Necessary Illusion” is track #2, on Rick Shaffer’s album also entitled, Necessary Illusion. The video was inspired by elements of Norm Chomsky’s “necessary illusion” concept, and delivers the end result of the public falling asleep at the wheel. Filmed and created in the UK by filmmakers, Peter McAdam, and Davey Mills. Visit Rick Shaffer’s Official Web Site at http://www.TarockMusic.com.
