John Cale "Mailman (The Lying Song)" in India
I didn't
draw
first
blood
You put
a crown in
my thorn
There's a
prisoner in
this song
but its
not me
I lied
about
the
prisoner
it isn't me
it's you
it isn't you
its me
Rosey the Renaissance Man
Roosevelt Grier: American football player. The man who restrained Sirhan Sirhan after the Robert Kennedy assassination. Ordained minister. Author of Needlepoint for Men. But surely his proudest moment has to have been his performance of a Tom Jones cover on Shindig.

Caetano's First
The album that started a 40+ year career, as well as a cultural revolution --the 1968 album titled simply Caetano Veloso.
Soy Loco Por Ti, America:
Sleeve of the Day
I love everything about this record sleeve featuring Los Impala, the grime and scrawled notes too--sadly, I can't recommend the music but then, you can't have everything.
Tómbola
A spirited version of "Tómbola" by the marginally talented Marisol, the Spanish version of Hayley Mills.

Machete Maidens Unleashed!
taken from firebert
A restricted trailer for the documentary about B-movie films made in the Philippines during the 70s, 80s and 90s.
At last, the all-too-often overlooked world of drive-in filler from Manila gets the Mark Hartley (NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD) treatment in Machete Maidens Unleashed!. This is the ultimate insiders' account of a faraway backlot where stunt men came cheap, plot was obsolete and the make-up guy was packin' heat!
Machete Maidens Unleashed! features interviews with cult movie icons Roger Corman, Joe Dante, John Landis, Sid Haig, Eddie Romero and a large assembly of cast, crew and critics, each with a jaw-dropping story to tell about filmmaking with no budget, no scruples, no boundaries and - more often than not - no clothes.

Only in America Can a Nice Jewish Boy from New York Have a Hit With a Song Called "Farewell Killarney"
Originally uploaded by John McNab
This sheet music for the tune "Farewell Killarney"features the well-scrubbed face of a very young Julius Marx, who later became better known as Groucho. Of course a nice Jewish boy could have a hit song about his beloved Irish hometown!
