Yodelling Overtures

Yodeling is much like other music genres. We have lo-fi yodel and symphonic yodel and the whole spectre in-between.
Look what may have happened if you had taken, say Caroline, of the DeZurik Sisters, and married her to a filthy rich Australian gold mining entrepeneur. She get to live in a castle full of flowers and maids. She would have EVERYTHING a girl would dream of; hundreds of dresses, diamonds, chocolate in silvery shrines in every which one of the 59 rooms, not having to work for a living. Luxury.
Her yodeling would slowly start to change. And here is the final result:

We're waiting for a benefactor....just one....who is willing to purchase the classic Gobbler Supper Club for use as PCL's Midwestern headquarters. Imagine the fabulous ideas we could come up with for you in this refined setting!

Swedish Smorgasbord

Sweden House Smorgasbord, New Berlin, Ohio

You don’t need to speak Swedish to enjoy today’s veritable smorgasbord of tacky musical treats, sent to me by a fellow blogger whose identity shall remain shrouded in mystery. Though I suspect he is just trying to distance himself from the music.

The kitschy compilation contains joyous salutes to cigarettes and hula hoops, a love song to the Beatles, inexplicably set to the tune of “Girl from Ipanema”, and an oozing rash of corny ricky-ticky cha cha, boogie, and twist numbers. Then there’s my favorite for the title alone, “Plywood Brothers” which seems to reference Duke Ellington, but I'm not sure.

Please enjoy the Dumma Svenskar (Silly Swedes) compilation responsibly.

Fashion Statement, or Birth Control?

I maintain that any woman who would choose to put on a pair of insipid "Love Is" panties is not looking to get laid. Ever. They're dealbreakers even on the hottest chick, right guys? Guys?

Catastrophic LP cover artworks

Katastrofala omslag is a Swedish blog dedicated to the finest of arts: What-were-they-thinking-of-cover-art.

Kitschy, ugly, funny and WHOAH! LP cover art presented in a brilliant way. It's even more fun if you speak Swedish. Can you believe it!?!?!

Fan tro't!

The Muffler Man of a Thousand Faces

Apparently, fiberglass muffler men appear in more incarnations than a Hindu god. They also have gigantic weiners.

Smile and say CHEESY!

This Fun Face camera was bought in the 1970s, but had probably sat in the window of the camera shop I bought it from for considerably longer.
It would probably still take pictures if I hadn't gotten all arty-farty and tried to do multiple exposures in a dark room in rapid succession and broken something.

The King's Treasures

Thanks a bunch, Lisa Marie. Before you took over your late father's estate in 1998, Elvis Presley Boulevard in front of Graceland was a veritable Wild West of unlicensed Elvis kitsch, like this swell pair of fuzzy slippers with genuine plastic heads.
Thanks to you, the Golden Age of Elvis crap is dead and gone.
