It's the last Tuesday of the month, which can only mean that it's once again time for a new episode of "Thrift Store Vinyl Radio"!
Originally, this month's program was going to feature selections from the many "spoken word" records I have, but after Ryan and I watched the marvelously mysterious French film, Les Diaboliques (the red eyes in the photos down below comes from the DVD insert!), I found myself afterwards putting on a lot of scratchy albums full of music that makes me wanna hop in my car really late at night and just drive around the city aimlessly with the windows rolled down ... Thus the title "Midnight Beats" ...
Most of this music comes from the 1950's and 60's and makes me feel like I'm in some sort of creepy old black and white detective movie or something ... haha ... It definitely has both a lonely and a bit of an exciting feel to it, like anything can happen in the dead of night ...
I didn't talk inbewteen the songs this time because I simply felt like I'd be upsetting the hypnotic mood and feel of this particular show ...
So here it is ... You might wanna wait until darkness descends in order to experience the desired full impact of this one ... haha ENJOY!
You can download the "midnight beats"cshow RIGHT HERE.
