Janet Leigh and the Fez-men

A fez is attractive, we all know that. But putting fire in the heart of a man wearing a fez is dangerous business.

Cocaine is a Bad Drug, Part I

my new series. While I'm busy gathering materials for my Mickey Rooney Hotel post, feast (or blind) your eyes on this.


One youtuber writes: It sure is good to see young folks like yourself rediscovering great music like this! :) Most people your age are hung up in that grunge crap or Lady Gaga nonsense!

Tiga Abdul (1964)

Fezfest.
Just spent the best 40 minutes of my week viewing this Malaysian film. I am a better person for it.

Tails of the Merman

Experiment33 is in the midst of his cool "Tails of the Merman"-project (see MySpace page here).
It's a series of silent videos backed by surf rock music. See the trailer here.

Tails of the Merman-Episode 1: LuRu Prepares for a Party:
("As LuRu prepares for a party, she realizes she is missing one very important ingredient. She's Out of Rum! She prays to her backyard Tiki for help.")

Tails of the Merman-Episode 2: Special Delivery - With Contest:
("The merman makes a special delivery in time to save the party, but who are the mysterious men in fezes and their boss, and what are they up to? ")

To be continued...

Note: Experiment 33 says:
"There's a contest for the funniest (or most accurate) guesses about what the merman is reading at the start of Episode 2. Winners will get higher res dvds when the series is complete. Leave your guesses via comment at either myspace, or youtube."

The Feztive Cat

While Mr. Bali Hai is away on "work" travels around the globe his new cat learns the new environment. And - by the grace of the Tiki gods - this cat is a fast learner!
