Stop in, look around, have a drink and crank some tunes. I'll be posting some songs ripped from records, some out of print and hard to find stuff, some songs by artists you should be listening to, and a few mixes here and there.

Tell Me You Love Me Again

Quite possibly the sexiest voice ever. Ann-Margret here pre-redhead but definitely not pre-sex kitten days. This record is from 1962. Hubba-hubba!

Would You Like To Make A Call...?

Here are three great songs off of a Kraftwerk Maxi-Single for The Telephone Call. I actually remember hearing this song on the radio for about a week back in '86 or '87. Thanks to Carlos for letting me borrow this.

Limbo Party

Alright. I'm in Minnesota where it is currently rainy, crappy and cold. I'm hoping this will bring me to a warm and happy place. I love this cover! No doubt it was taken just moments before this chick burst into flames...

Muppets Take Manhattan Read Along






















Here is a read along book and record from 1984. The Muppets Take Manhattan. I can't tell if it's a voice actor doing all the voices, or the real people. I go back and forth.

Polka Your Eyes Out

This one was bought at a garage sale on it's cover merit alone. Judging by the red rings around this guys eyes, I don't think he made it much longer that night. It's your average polka-beer drinking song and the record quality sounds like shit. I'll post a song anyway.

Star Wars :: Adventures In ABC

Educational, Informative, Entertaining... Go from A to Z learning about he Star Wars Universe in rhyme. Again, this one sounds pretty crappy too and it was also from unplayed records. Cheap plastic?

Side note: Is that Ken Nordine narrating with Anthony Daniels?

Star Wars :: Adventures in Colors and Shapes

OK kiddies. Time to brush up on your colors and shapes with your favorite Star Wars characters. This is from Buena Vista Records, 1983. They really have Han play the part of a prick in this one. The sound is pretty crappy which is surprising because I removed the wrap from this one before I recorded it. It was never played.

For Fans Of Crazy Organs

Lenny Dee is the unsung hero of the early hyper synthesizer. Man! It sounds like this guy has sunshine shooting right out of his backside. The perfect music to play while you make balloon animals for small children. I love it!

Fetch Me My Martini...

I just can't get enough of early '60s Cocktail Culture, especially the record covers. This little clarinet fueled gem was bought for just that reason. It looks like this guy is living the good life. He's probably getting smashed over his lunch hour...

RIP Buck Owens :: 1929 - 2006






















The Baron of Bakersfield is dead at 76 years old. I think he was the most underrated man in country music. Everybody loves Cash, and they should. But say you are a big fan of Buck Owens and you just may get a little chuckle. He had 15 #1 hits in a row with an unmistakable sound that could be extremely peppy or extremely depressing. I never had the pleasure to see Buck in concert and I guess I never will now. This is a real drag. I will post some of my favorite songs later, right now I'm going to mope...

"I'd like to be remembered as a guy that came along and did his music, did his best and showed up on time, clean and ready to do the job, wrote a few songs and had a hell of a time." - Buck Owens, 1992

James Dean on Conga Drums

This one is rare. I apologize for it sounding so bad, but I'm sure this is the best copy I'll see. The recording level is very low and there is a lot of background noise. I'm posting it so people can at least hear what it sounds like. I know I was curious.

Loaded Up And Truckin'

Here are three Smokey and the Bandit tracks from Jerry Reed's East Bound and Down record. This movie is definately one of my favorites and I don't like to admit it.

The Smiths Pass Up 5 Million Bucks

Morrissey reported at SXSW that The Smiths were offered $5 million to play the Coachella Music Festival. The offer was rejected and there will be no reunion. "No, because money doesn't come into it." He continued, "It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." Just take the money Moz. We want to see a reunion!

Morrissey's new cd Ringleader Of The Tormentors comes out April 4.

Star Wars Theme :: Moog Style

Everyone was covering the Star Wars Theme in 1977. Here is the Electric Moog Orchestra's version. A little reminiscent of old video games...

Will You Be My Friend?

Here is a thrift store buy. The record was in pretty rough shape but I thought I'd post some songs anyway. A little sweet. A little creepy... The album is called Let's Be Together Today by none other than Mister Rogers.
