Taken from splogman.com

At the moment I spent most of my spare time digitizing records, taking pictures of sleeves and ... what's the english word ... retoucher ... restoring, yes! I'm not sure what the use is apart from me having a lot of home-ripped digital music and being able to throw or give away most of it. I have a lot of second hand penny-worth albums waiting to be processed, not to mention five shoe boxes of weird singles, flexi discs etc... Readers Digest has produced a lot of flexi discs, promoting their collections of "best of" boxes. In the Netherlands it was mostly Willem Duys who recently passed away who presented them (I have to listen and digitize a lot of those yet...) and appearently for the French speaking community it was Patrick Allenbach.

I've noticed that playing flexidiscs wet [demineralized water of course) enhances the sound quality enormously. So that's standard procedure.

And last but not least for today: Dorus [Tom Manders] song 'popfestival' (and hashish, I feel it's important to mention that to enhance it's appeal to you)

The song describes the Kralingen Popfestival, in Rotterdam 1970, inspired by the one in Woodstock.

2012-02-21T08:02:00.004+01:00

From Star Medley to Star Turk (Yes, I'm entitled to that particular silly joke) is one hell of a leap.
In the seventies there was a group of Turkish TV-makers that took their work very seriously, appearently that is. I found this Turkish version of Star Trek. So instead of replacing the voices with those of Turkish actors, as a lot of other countries did, they went one step further: they recreated the whole thing. Or is it a parody? It doesn't look and sound like it...

update by myeck: This is actually a bit from a movie called "Turist Omer Uzay Yolunda" AKA "Turkish Star Trek". There were about eight films starring "Omer the tourist.

Next month marks the 40th anniversary of when CBS said goodbye to Jed and all his kin and cancelled The Beverly Hillbillies as part of the network's "rural purge" — a cancellation of shows (in 1971 almost half of the CBS's shows were axed and urban sitcoms like All in the Family started) that included two of my favorite shows: Green Acres and Hee Haw.

John Byner

2012-02-02T00:12:00.006+01:00

John Byner did the voices for the cartoon The Ant and the Aardvark, which appeared in the Pink Panther Cartoon series from 1969-1971. The characters are voiced by Byner's impressions of Dean Martin and Jackie Mason. There were 17 theatrical shorts directed by Friz Freleng, (Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies).

Byner guest starred in many television shows including Get Smart, The Odd Couple, Soap and Hollywood Squares. He also hosted the television show Bizarre. He's married to actress Annie Gaybis. His official website is here.

From WIKI: In German-dubbed versions of the cartoon, the protagonists no longer imitate well-known actors. The male aardvark is transformed into a female anteater named Elise (Eliza). Charlie (voiced by Fred Maire) remains male, but is no longer a Dean Martin parody. Elise is voiced by Marianne Wischmann, one of Germany's most renowned voice actresses.

Happy Birthday Alan Lomax!

2012-01-31T21:47:00.003+01:00

"...Starting in the mid-1930s, when he made his first field recordings in the South, Lomax was the foremost music folklorist in the United States. He was the first to record Muddy Waters and Woody Guthrie, and much of what Americans have learned about folk and traditional music stems from his efforts, which were also directly responsible for the folk music and skiffle booms in the United States and Britain that shaped the pop-music revolution of the 1960s and beyond...

... Long before the Internet existed, he envisioned a “global jukebox” to disseminate and analyze the material he had gathered during decades of fieldwork. A decade after his death technology has finally caught up to Lomax’s imagination. Just as he dreamed, his vast archive — some 5,000 hours of sound recordings, 400,000 feet of film, 3,000 videotapes, 5,000 photographs and piles of manuscripts, much of it tucked away in forgotten or inaccessible corners — is being digitized so that the collection can be accessed online. About 17,000 music tracks will be available for free streaming by the end of February, and later some of that music may be for sale as CDs or digital downloads. ..."

The Tao of Charlotte Rampling

2012-01-30T22:56:00.003+01:00

Charlotte Rampling has certainly pushed the boundaries of traditional film roles with her choice of provocative characterizations in The Damned, The Night Porter, Swimming Pool and the incomprehensible Max, Mon Amour.

Billed as the "greatest ape romance since King Kong", our heroine becomes enamored with a chimp to the delight of her cuckold, diplomat husband. I recall seeing it years ago on a Betamax with a hipster buddy who claimed the director, Nagisa Oshima was the second coming of Jean Luc Godard.
I thought he was full of shit then and this clip reaffirms that belief.

She sang "Save All Your Love For Me" backed up by The Telstars and Gals and Pals.

Later on she were in bands such as The Plums and The Dandys before she recorded the remarkable album soul/jazz album 'Did You Give the World Some Love Today Baby' with Berndt Egerbladh. That album wasn't a hit at the time but become a well sought-after gem during the mid 1990s and was re-issued and received attention from alternative soul/funk/jazz aficionados around the word and some of the album tracks has been sampled by well-known hip-hop acts.

Apparently the Stones and Petula Clark played live at the awards that year. The whole thing looks pretty demented, in all the right ways."

On orders of MajorDomo Baikinange, here's a link to my own blog, Lethal Dose, where last night Jayne Mansfield's suitcase from that fateful last journey sat on my bed. I could hardly sleep from the excitement! It was purchased by my pal Scott Michaels, who runs Dearly Departed Tours and the FindaDeath website, so it only seems appropriate. But he is my neighbor, so if I feel the need I can run over there and touch the suitcase when I want. He walked over with it covered in a trashbag because of course it is pink (you can't really tell from the photos, but the handle is that shade of "pepto-bismol") even though I assured him that in our freaky Hollywood neighborhood no one would notice.

Still, forty-something years later, it's a chilling item. Clink link for more.

COCKTAIL NAPKINS 1960s

Four Views of Nina Hagen

2012-01-07T22:03:00.031+01:00

1974. Nina and her band "Automobil" are the hottest act in the DDR (East Germany.) Their song "Du Hast den Farbfilm Vergessen" (You forgot the color film) is either "a subtle dig mocking the sterile, gray, Communist state," or a warning that Nina was shortly to don hot pink hair extensions and paint her eyebrows purple. Here's another video of the same song. Doesn't Nina look sweet?

1975. Be careful who you kiss, kids! You too may end up sneezing in bed with a red pixie 'do and a mod mod duvet.

1976. I have no idea what's going on here, but I suspect that this was very shortly before Nina's hippie parents were expelled from the DDR, and Nina herself fled to London and took up with the Sex Pistols. (I like your mustache, Nina.)

1982. By now living in LA, Nina releases her first solo album, "Nunsexmunkrock."

I'm so Depressed -Abner Jay

2012-01-05T00:06:00.000+01:00

From WIKI: Abner Jay (1921 – 1993) was an American multi-instrumentalist, who is best known for performing eccentric, blues infused folk music, as a one man band. His idiosyncratic lyrics and style can also be considered within the realm of outsider music. -->READ MORE
