Festus Talks About Girls

Short version: "I thought they was just lumpy boys".

Festus DOES do a version of a right snappy tune called "Golly Bill". Best line: "You start my pore heart to jumpin' the same as a fat girl a-playing squat tag". And he introduces us to a new dance called the Festus, too. Get it here.

Mellow Gold.

Ah, the majestic, easy rocking '70s. I hear that on their next tour, Max Merritt & the Meteors will open for The Band That Played "California Lady."

Gumball Machine Treasures

Great collection of vintage gumball machine charms, displays, machines, packaging....it is indeed gumball charm Nirvana. Amazing to remember a time when a penny still bought you something...as John Waters says, the only thing pennies are good for any more is for insulting waitstaff.

Sharing is good.

I have put a share button (on the right) on PCL. Hope it works.

Daws Butler's Musical Career

Yowp's blog is an endless love letter to Hanna-Barbera cartoons--the background music, the artwork, even scholarly analysis of Quick Draw McGraw and Huckleberry Hound cartoons. Today's valentine is for the novelty and children's records by Daws Butler, the man who created the memorable voices for so many H-B characters.

Don't Drink the Kool-Aid

I know some people - grownups, in fact, who are still scared of the Kool-Aid man. Far more than the Jolly Green Giant. I mean, the guy is wacked out on sugar and busts thru walls! So when I saw this, I naturally had to download. From Crosseyed Cyclops, of course. He's been posting all kinds of gems this week.

How Low Can You Go, Sun Ra?

Not nearly as funny as Louis Farrakhan's calypso career, but Sun Ra (and various Arkestra members) on a limbo album is still pretty danged funny anyway. Song titles like How Much Is That Doggie Who Does the Limbo, The Bagpipe Limbo, and the Kachink Limbo just makes everything a little more special indeed.

Small talk

Small talk is the latest Aperitivo radio show. This week show with the help of Morricone & Buarque, Elvis Presley big beat, Alan Vega, greek, thai, Czech, italian or french sounds and lot more electric and unexpected delights.
