Andy Warhol - See Him Upon My Wall

Well, I told the Mrs. about my blog and instantly she reminded me that we had this book. The Best Children's Books - a 1958 collection by Doubleday. We bought it used (obviously) and when first leafing it through it years ago, I discovered that Warhol had done some of the illustrations. Check it out by clicking on the pic below:

Enjoy - early stuff - he made the right choice switching to soup cans. http://lex10.glyphjockey.com/2006/05/andy-warhol-see-him-upon-my-wall.html

Two Good Friends - Nihau !

Dr. Cow & Mr. Squid !

I know - I know - too many monkeys

Jason King's Starlight Meadows is a compelling series of photgraphs - chilling & funny at the same time. See them.

History of Architecture & Ornament

Picture=LINK
I bought this book for 50 cents 15 years ago - I love the illustrations and have attempted a little archiving. They don't make books this nicely anymore: Marbled endpapers, red page edging, plate after plate in beautiful detail - and all for a correspondence course!

Chinese World Domination Game

The picture is always a link....
Scans of a Chinese battle game I had in my garage. Thumbs are links to hi-res. I know nothing about rules or why or what okay!?!

He paints, too.

These birds are suicidal. They run right towards my car - even w/the horn blaring.


PROOF!!!!

You Frank Robinson - Me Cave Man

Whoa - look at this super genius' visualizations of physical phenomena in our universe.

Above, a still from a movie of a Boussinesq Rayleigh-Benard convection in a perfect gas. Whatever the hell that is.....This is really rich ambient imagery that is being used for science - they're huge files but gorgeous.

Kongo is Going to Air.........

Kongo is going to be on Turner Classic Movies on May 2nd at 4:30 AM EDT. There's a little link at the bottom of the page for it that says "Remind Me" click and they'll send you an e-mail - cool. Just follow the text or picture links to the same place.

It's brutal, a paralyzed madman works his deviltry in order to control or destroy all he meets. Cool jungle elevator and Lupe Velez is wild in it. From my movies - watch/DVR/tape !!!!

Today's Monkey - Free Movie

Internet Archive has The Ape with Boris Karloff

Written by Curt Siodmak, who wrote a bunch of horror, most notably The Invisible Man Returns.
The ability to see &/or download this is indicative of a sort of Moore's Law of Internet coolness. Support it, & maybe the keepers of the network, who frequently make ~400% profit on selling you a high-speed connection and for the most part don't fully understand the implications of that coolness won't succeed at fiscally torturing us further over it.

and oh, yeah! Monkey, Monkey, Monkey!

New Series - Monkey

I love monkeys - more importantly chimps best of all. Now that we know they'll eat your face when given the opportunity leads me to savor the danger that people in pictures with them are in - this chimp's thinking, "I'm soooo gonna get this guy! Look casual.....look casual, pretend to be intent on the next deep puff of tobacco these jerks insist on addicting me to - That's right, bend that delicious face a little lower, jackass!!".

Monkey! Monkey! Monkey! (Thanks, LOC.gov!)

I've started to play with Google pages

A bit buggy but maybe it'll turn into something for the whole world to use

My Mexican Lobby Card !

Saw a great collection of Mexican Lobby Cards at Stephen Worth's ASIFA blog. Great stuff. He challenged readers to identify elements that made them effective - that grabbed me- so I took a Jim Thompson paperback cover and another scifi paperback cover - and voila'! Completed at 11:05 EST (note my comment time @ ASIFA - I rushed it - even with a bathroom break). See the real ones at: http://www.animationarchive.org/2006/03/media-more-fun-mexican-lobby-cards.html
Picture's also a link to the collection of real ones!!

Comedy's Bryan Ferry - Vic Reeves - Yo, Americans!

Vic Reeves' Big Night Out on BBC in the 90's was like the misbegotten spawn of The Tonight Show and Pee Wee's playhouse. Really funny - and it rocked. Just like this can't-get-it-in-USA disc.




There's too much to say here, but I think the jackhammer on "Oh, Mr. Songwriter" (Vic's theme) sums it up.

Buy it here at my Amazon store - or else!

Spangrish - Spanishy Engrish

This came of a label from a bottle of Granacha - a Spanish Grenache.

This is a beautiful letter pressed label - the Spanish do an exquisite job with this kind of printing. The misspellings and phraseology are delicious.

It is "fleshy in mouth", eh? Pics are links to hi res versions.
Buenas noches, amigos.

The UK is another dimension

Here' a curious little chicken/egg phenomena: Bend Me, Shape Me, - a massive hit by The American Breed in the US when I was a little kid, but at presumably the same time a hit in England by another group, Amen Corner. The weird part is that the vibe is completely different for each song. When I was in the UK I saw they were always doing this - a commercial (an advert) for "Hits of the 60's" would come on, and it would be all, "King of the Road by Rory Flanksbury! - Streets of Laredo by Rupert Clive! Devil in a Blue Dress by Larry Lawrence and the Lads! - AND MORE!!" It was like (sometimes) the US didn't exist, then next minute life would be a hailstorm of Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Humphrey Bogart and Elvis memorabilia


- Giva lissen.

PS: Listen to just the left track of the American version, and Voila' You've got Karaoke....

Hip Pocket Records

Heritage Village Map

I had this map of Heritage Village from a friend who was cleaning out his office years ago. Thought it was an interesting artifact of the Jim & Tammy Faye Bakker scandal. In my day crazy preachers didn't call for assassination of foreign officials, they built amusement parks!! Amusement parks that could save your soul - ot at least give it a good buffing. It' huge - about 2MB so brace yourself. I photoshopped the seams a little, but very hard to scan . Enjoy - or not.

Ya think?

Mr. Sonic - Weird & Lost Oddity

OUT OF PRINT - Danish. I know nothing about this. It's sample-y with classic blurbs - worked well. Don't construe my musical tastes as being this, but "supermarket, television, home" is strangely heartwarming and beautiful. Did I say oddity?

A Flower?!?!?!?!?

Red Red Groovy. OUT OF PRINT- an injustice.

Used and New starting at $.01. Psychedelic music at its best - it emerged during a great lull in music - when jerks were in control. This album always foud its way into the Techno bin, which was a fundamental mistake, but there was no actual appropriate slot for them. While Chemical Brothers a "Techno" group, can do really rich psychedelic music, (think, "The Test") we all know that about halfway through one of their albums they turn on the drum machine and go out for coffee. (I dunno, maybe I'm just not 20 & on E) Red Red Groovy, on the other hand, creates a roiling, textured kaleidoscope of uberdeliciousness.

Here's the cover:

It's a link to a hi-res foldout image

Here's an image from inside the booklet that comes with it.

Ecch. I can't stand it. It's too good. here's a fansite
