a Plethora of Personal Pix of Pulchritude by Percy

Jungle Accordions

If you need to cool down a bit after all that frantic klezmer twisting we've been doing, let me recommend the more subdued yet equally soul-satisfying Spectacular Accordions. Maestro Charles Camilleri treats us to his accordions-around the world vision, as he serenades us with La Cucaracha, Under Paris Skies (duh), the tango-ready Kiss of Fire, and amazingly, a Jungle Fantasy.

Twistin' the Freilach!

Twistin' the Freilach and Casatschok, happenin' albums both.

Learn to Speak Carny

Well, children, last week we learned how to speak beatnik....have you been practicing? Good. Now let's learn some new lingo which may come in handy if you're looking for work next summer at the country fairs.....let's Learn to Speak Like a Carny. So you know how to deal with the Lot Lice and the wobblies.

O Rei do Forró

I do so love those groovin' guys and their snappy Forró outfits.....and the music from Pedro Sertanejo "O rei do Forró" is just as swell as his fashion sense.

Los Rockin' Devils

I first discovered them while watching Amor a Ritmo de GoGo. Here they are doing "Hey Lupe," which they also do in that film. They're still around.

Revenge of the Giant Easter Chicks

Don't worry - this site has so much more. Check out the gorgeous old movie star cards at RossCards.

Get Shafted

You sayin' this 70s album by "The Superdudes" is nothin' but a baaad ripoff of classic music from blaxploitation movies? Hush your mouth.

OK, maybe you're right

Flying Cirucs

Flying Circus's promo-video for the hit single 'hayride' taken from the 1969 album 'Flying Circus'.

I have no idea what is going on in this narration, but enjoy. No, I am not Miss Colorado, despite the resemblance.

John Farnham - Sadie (The Cleaning Lady)

"Can't afford to get bored..."

"Sadie" was Australia's pop sensation, John Farnham's first single and launched his solo career in the late 60's. He obviously didn't hook up with a competent tailor prior to this shoot.

Water Molotov

Just some amazing street photographs of San Francisco.

I'm a Bad Man.

One way to tell if a woman really loves you -- if she'll have yo' dog...

Swingingest Boy in School

Here's what I found at Record Collector's Hot Vault--Tarzan complaining about Jane's coconuts, how to do the Mummer's Strut, and tales of Bashful Blonds, and Oliver Cool, the Swingingest Boy in School. Honestly, if that's not enough excitement for you in one day, I'm not sure if you can be helped.

Jessie Mae Hemphill - You Can Talk About Me (Flash Video 04:56). "...Jessie Mae Hemphill performing "You Can Talk About Me" at Junior Kimbrough's Juke Joint in Holly Springs, MS. From Deep Blues: A Musical Pilgrimage to the Crossroads (1993)."

Magna Carta

Magna Carta is the new Aperitivo radio show, this week we will investigate the reasons to travel our all world, and beyond.
With the help of  a morrocan cover version of Nino Ferrer's Mirza, the post punk Flying lizards, the graceful Minnie Riperton, Louis Armstrong singing Pharoah Sanders (true, no mash up), Iranian soul sitar and a lot more groovy and unexpected delights.

Kiss caress and more until next time

Taboooooooo

If you're needing some inspirational tunes while your hanging the "trophy" in the post below in your studly bachelor pad, may I recommend Taboo by the very exotic sounding Chief Walatghi and his Afro-Drummers. Though it's probably just some studio musicians who got drunk one night and left the tape rolling and decided to release it anyway.

Trophy

Seen at This Isn't Happiness

The Sweet Science

Shelled out a few dinero to watch Manny Pacquiao slice up Miguel Cotto last night in the WBO welterweight championship bout. Went back through the Yuma archives and found this great boxing site featuring the photo's of Harry Winkler, a longtime Los Angeles area fight figure and California correspondent for The Ring magazine from 1939 to 1953. He is best remembered, however, for his extensive collection of boxing photographs.

Chuck Wiggins "reading" a book.

Sir Lancelot and Zombies

Since I spent so much time playing duck and cover in the back room of my house to avoid freeloading children on Halloween, I still have a lot of catching up to do and am just now discovering some swell Halloween related (sort of) posts. Including this collection by Sir Lancelot from Zorch's Inner Sanctum which was thrown in with a bunch of zombie-themed 78s which are interesting as well.

Garage Latino

We just don't have enough Latin 60s pop music in our lives yet, since we haven't got cover versions such as Janky Panky, Grandes Bolas de Fuego or Lupe y el Baron Rojo -- not to mention a lot of swell original tunes. I'm listening to a mess of great stuff from Garage Latino, and I haven't got to the cumbia yet.
