Doris
Doris Svensson (shortly just Doris) is a Swedish singer. She started out in the beginning of the 1960s. In 1963 she debuted on Swedish Television in the show Drop In (at the very same show as The Beatles, during their first international tour after their break-through).
She sang "Save All Your Love For Me" backed up by The Telstars and Gals and Pals.
Later on she were in bands such as The Plums and The Dandys before she recorded the remarkable album soul/jazz album 'Did You Give the World Some Love Today Baby' with Berndt Egerbladh. That album wasn't a hit at the time but become a well sought-after gem during the mid 1990s and was re-issued and received attention from alternative soul/funk/jazz aficionados around the word and some of the album tracks has been sampled by well-known hip-hop acts.

I'm Wonderin'
Why I torture myself.
Audio only, thank goodness.
Satan's spawn. Here's Jr in action in "Hot Rods to Hell."

Somebody's In My Orchard
Anita Harris' Somebody's in My Orchard features a plethora of odd garden-related tunes, including a snappy but comically overripe version of Watermelon Man, and the jazzy but kinda whacked-out Oranges and Lemons.

100 Guitars
Are you MAN enough to defend your love against... 100 GUITARS!?
I didn't have a lot of information about this video when I posted it, but thanks to a PCL visitor who did some great research, now we know...
"de la TV Romande" indicates that it's French-Swiss (i.e., from the French-speaking part of Switzerland). In this case it came from SSR/TSR (Télévision Suisse Romande). It's an excerpt from "Happy End", which won the main prize at the 1964 Rose d'Or Swiss TV festival/awards. (See WIKI LINK).
Apparently the Stones and Petula Clark played live at the awards that year. The whole thing looks pretty demented, in all the right ways."
The song is "Every Night (Without You)" from 1962 by Paul Anka.

I don't know about you, but I think this is magnificent!
Old School 'Rasslin
When men were men and the blood flowed like wine.
There was always an element of the forbidden for the young Yuma when purchasing these graphic chronicles of the "Masters of The Turnbuckle". From the cheap newsprint to the ostentatious covers, the element of sleaze always had an appeal.
Billco's Old School Wrestling has a nice collection of the genre for your consideration.

Amazing Reimaginings of Contemporary Films With Classic Casts
I am, as the casual speakers in the British part of the UK sometimes say, gobsmacked, at the wonderful execution of these posters by Peter Stults. Go visit them and appreciate the all-around cleverness and beautiful execution. You may just cerebrally shit yourself.

Shake It, Don't Break It
Vintage 1940s Lenticular Hula Girl in original plastic frame from my personal collection. There were several versions of this made, all with different frames and different poses of the girl. But all of them featured the same girl, she just did a slightly different dance in each.

Springbok Hits
What were they listening to in South Africa in the early seventies? Same as everywhere else, but a whole lot crappier, as evidenced by this compilation of bad cover versions of hit tunes, Springbok Hit Parade 18. I wonder what the equivalent of the E. J. Korvettes or the Zayre was in Pretoria, I'm sure that's where this was sold.
