Once again, it's the last Tuesday of the month ... and you know what that means!
It's time to plow through my under-the-bed thrift store records!
This month I decided to concentrate on the stack of percussion records I have ... I hadn't realized it, but I have quite a collection of these kind of records ... Apparently they were all the rage back in the late 50's / early 60's cuz tons of them were made, each with a slightly different theme ... and nearly all of them have gate fold covers that go on and on about the exciting new concept of STEREO ... haha ...
I've always been a big fan of the cover art for these type of albums, which are easily identifiable because they're all so very similar ...
here are a few to give you an idea =
While looking for images of these album covers online, I also happened to chance upon an actual percussion records blog ...
Charley seems to really enjoy the type of music as well ... haha ... I think it must calm her down or something!
Aaaanyway, with no further delay ... Here it is : Program 4 ... the thrilling percussion edition of Thrift Store Vinyl Radio ... ENJOY!!!
Download it HERE if you so desire.

So it will finally be upon us soon ... MAGIC CITY ART CONNECTION ... Whoopee!!! If you come out to Linn Park in Birmingham this weekend, I'll be tent 234 ... sort of between the Corks & Chefs tent and the fountain ... Come out and enjoy some art!
Here is a peek at some of the stuff I've been slaving on for it (look! lunchboxes! haha) =
And speaking of art, the ACME building art opening went splendidly ... tons of folks were there and it was ton of fun ... Here's a photo of me with fellow artist Doug Baulos and his friend Sonya =
You can look at more photos of folks at the event are right HERE.

In "music news", Nowhere Squares journeyed all the way to Jackson, Mississippi to play a really fun gig with our friends, The Overnight Lows (and Los Buddies) at a place called Sneaky Beans ...
Here's Daphne & Marsh having coffee in the front yard the next morning =
And here's video of us performing "Feeling In The Dark" that night ... yay! =

Time for a TON TON TON of VIDEOS
Hey!!! The brand new Julian Lynch album, "Terra" is out today! I'm such a fan of his music ... I wish wish wish he'd play at Bottletree soon! This isn't a video, but you can sample how wonderful the album is below =
Once again, this rules! This time, Wavves were on the "Pitchfork 3-D" show and it is quite amazing! Get some 3-D and WATCH!!!
Ryan sent me this incredible Crystal Castles fan video ... I dig it lots =
I decided to post this classic Talking Heads video, simply because it made a huge impression on me =
Another great one from Ryan (thanks!!!!) ... Here's Madeleine Peyroux's beautiful rendition of Elliott Smith's "Between The Bars" =
Ah! Some new John Maus! Weeeee! =
Here's a pretty funny Cloud Nothings video I chanced upon recently =
Jacob Vernon posted this one (cheers!) about an amazing thumb piano player =
More Ryan-sent brilliance ... This one is by the eccentric CGI witch, Wendy =
My god ... I'm a huge Kate Bush fan, but I don't really know what to make of this one! What's funny is that last week I posted that video of Noel Fielding imitating Kate Bush and he actually makes a cameo at the end of this one! Wow! uncanny! haha =
And now, a whole lot of dessert ...
Let's start with some extremely tripped-out Easter stuff by Wendy =
Sarah Harell posted this hilarious Serenading Unicorn video starring Sarah Silverman (danke!) =
Then, Ryan posted 2 more Serenading Unicorn funnies =
