Coin Op Mortuary
She Walks Softly has become a daily respite for my hankerings. Dana has all the senses working overtime. Stop in and take a peek.
“St. Dennistoun Mortuary” Coin-Operated Automaton, attributed to Leonard Lee, c. 1900, the mahogany cabinet and glazed viewing area displays a Greek Revival mortuary building with double doors and grieving mourners out front, when a coin is inserted, doors open and the room is lighted revealing four morticians and four poor souls on embalming tables, the morticians move as if busily at work on their grisly task and mourners standing outside bob their heads as if sobbing in grief, ht. 30 1/2, wd. 24, dp. 17 1/4 in.
Estimate $4,000-6,000

ok, just ONE more time...
A few weeks ago I mentioned the previously never released official video of In My Spaceship had finally surfaced, but youtube seemed to have digestive trouble with it, so we took it offline... Here it is again. Personally I am amazed by the response I still get almost weekly on this song. I recorded it in 2003. The children involved have all reached adult age and also the uprise of the song about 5 years later seems decades away now. But apparently the song is still being played at certain radiostations and discotheques. New re-mixes are still being made and last week I got a request of a documentary maker to use the track. So I suppose not everybody is as fed up with the song as I am. And also, I have dear memories to recording this video with Ola Vasiljeva and cameraman Itay Ziv in december 2009 at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. So for the last time: YES! I've HAD it up to here!!!
Best wishes, Jan Turkenburg

Scratch Like A "Singe"
French artiste Vigon and his rhythmically challenged posse strut their stuff in this Bob and Earl classic.
Mr. Lucky's Presents Reedy Hall and The Hallmarks
Mark at Appearing In The Motel Lounge shines on with another jewel from the lounge universe.
Private press engineered by Porter Wagoner. Brief jacket notes by Faron Young: These days it takes a lot of things to make a good album. It takes good songs, good singers, good musicians, good studio, etc. When you listen to this album, I think you'll find it to be a record that stands on its own. Good luck.
Amen.

Ain't talking about Adele. This is rock and droll at its finest. Thanks to Bop Shops Tom Kohn for the magic.

liberating music
It seems appropriate to celebrate the Dutch 'liberation day' with a compilation of 'dutch successes' of the fifties. More than that I just felt like a sharity. The 10 inch lp is not divided into tracks, it's the opposite: what's so special about this album is that some of the tracks are connected with each other by a pianist, like on other of this kind of compilations was done with applause. I'm not sure how that was done. Technically it was possible with multiple real to real players but I think pianist Gerard van Krevelen played it live while the existing recodings where playing in the studio, or I like to think it, anyway.
Take a listen, you'll find it surprisingly interesting and fun:

Fill the Night Tub (With White Wine)
Jacuzzi Winters wrote us: "I mean, yeah, I made it, but I made it because I genuinely love this stuff. It's a mix of 70s booze commercials, girls, hot tubs and white wine and I'd love to get it out there. Thanks! Enjoy!"
Thanks Jacuzzi Winters and Rondeaux! We love booze, white whine, girls and hot tubs. And since all of that are presented in such a charming and glamourous way we just spin around with delight.

No Coco do Macaco
(I think this means "In the Monkey's Head.") Funky jams from O Planeta dos Homens, a show that apparently poked fun of Brazil's former military regime by showing what humans looked like from the point of view of superintelligent space apes. The opening credits are also pretty spectacular:
