Oh, man, that movie is awesome, with lots of fun and obscure cameos (keep an eye out for Courtney Love applying spanks). Absolutley zero budget, hopelessly and wonderfully dated in a late '80s way, but still loads of fun...even if it does leave me singing about chicken and waffles for days afterward. Cusack and Robbins are terrific together, as always, and Sam Moore and Junior Walker are fan-frippin'-tastic ("Swanky Modes!!!").
There's an R1 S.E. DVD of Tapeheads, BTW, with a commentary track featuring the director and a couple of the producers, including Mike Nesmith - yes, that Michael Nesmith (who served as executive producer). Anybody wanting to discover this little gem, pick it up sometime.
