Thrift Store Vinyl Radio program 3 (children's records)



Once again, it's the last Tuesday of the month, so once again, we will be exploring the usually-ignored thrift store-purchased records hiding under my bed!


The 1st radio program was more of a random affair, but by the 2nd program I started working the shows around a theme (jazz being last month's) ...


This time I thought we'd delve into all the thrift store children's records I have ... Many of them are really old 45's, all richly scratchy and archaic, but a few were actually recorded within the last 10-15 years (The Coctails, Twink) so it turned out to be a pretty well rounded and interesting venture ...



I now present to you Thrift Store Vinyl Radio program 3 ... the Children's Record edition ... ENJOY!!!




Wanna download it? Well you can do so RIGHT HERE.

Stacy Jacobson Speas recently sent me this link on facebook and it's chock-full of some funny, bizarre and well, "not right" Olan-Mills style portraiture ... the page is called "Not Right Portrait Studio" ... Take a gander at it HERE ... Thanks for the laughs, Stacy!

In a bit of art news, I've not only been working on my upcoming Nashville show, but also I finished a good deal of pieces for Route Of Art Gallery in Florence, AL ... Here's a few of those paintings =




And here's a photo of Jaime Weaver, owner of Route of Art =




And here's some of my work sharing a wall with many other Route of Art artists =

We seem to be having a "Blackberry Winter" right now, since the weather is chilly, but this past Friday, Ryan and I enjoyed the splendid warmth by perusing the full-bloomness of Birmingham Botanical Gardens ...





I took a ton of flowery, watery photos that day ... You can witness these by scrolling down to the bottom (after the videos) ...

Speaking of videos ... why, they're UP NEXT!




So the ever-amazing Tom Waits was recently inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame ... Here's a video of Neil Young inducting him, followed by Tom performing some of his songs =




Some amazing and bizarre stuff by Canco De L'alba =



Do you like Frog Eyes? Just say YES =



Antonio posted this whacky colorful 80's classic by John Baptiste Mondino ... cheers! =



And speaking of colorful ... wow ... I so dig this new one by tUnE-YarDs ... this song is definitely going on this year's "How To Listen To Now" mix! =



Michael Mcfarland posted (danke!) this rather sad (but marvelous) "robot short" starring Max Records (of "Where The Wild Things Are" fame) =





We don't have much of a dessert this week, but what we got is fairly enjoyable ...



The Black Lips had this entertaining safety video posted on their blog =



And lastly, we find Mr. Rogers learning to break dance, of all things ... haha =
