FRANCO NERO PRESENTS: Rocksteady and Roots Mix

February 27, 2015May 4, 2021 by Erich Scholz

I’ve gotten a few requests for reggae mixes over the past couple of years and for one reason or another never got around to it. Well…that’s changed. I’ve just created two mixes — count ’em — and I’m offering them for download until the authorities shut me down. FRANCO NERO PRESENTS: ROCKSTEADY SESSION VOL 1. Right…

THE JOKERS(1967)Dir: Michael WinnerStarring: Michael Crawford, Oliver Reed, Harry Andrews——————————Been reading the late Oliver Reed‘s authorized (by family, natch) bio, What Fresh Lunacy Is This? I’m mesmerized by the outrageous tales about this whale of a man…England’s pure film actor from the ’60s and ’70s, a star in his time.

Drop It

April 6, 2014 by Erich Scholz

Fat Freddy’s Drop are not a band that command a lot of bandwidth in American media circles. First off, they’re from New Zealand. They rarely play the States and their 7 to 9 min song cycles aren’t what economy-minded programmers here would consider “radio friendly”. Their latest release, Blackbird actually came out last summer but thanks…

The Story of Popeye

March 25, 2014 by Erich Scholz

Comedic actor Eddie Deezen contributed this piece about the history of Popeye (a favorite of mine) to Neatorama (again via Bifurcated Rivets). He’s got a website as well. Although he updates about as often as I do (despite my latest, almost hopeless attempt at staying up-to-date).“The Popeye cartoons were so popular during the Depression, sales…

Abandoned Dry Cleaners

March 25, 2014 by Erich Scholz

(From the Web Urbanist via Bifurcated Rivets) Before the advent of non-toxic Martinizing in 1949, dangerously flammable solvents were used in the dry cleaning process. Due to the nature of the chemicals used, cleaning was usually done off-site and typical turnaround times were measured in days. Usually, but not always: the former Slater-White Cleaners in San Antonio,…

Legs of Lamb

March 23, 2014 by Erich Scholz

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (1974) The rock band Genesis used to be a household name. Back in the ’80s they ruled the charts around the globe – three middle-aged jazzbos playing synthesizers and singing into drumsticks in their videos. Lead singer Phil Collins perhaps the most unlikely of pop heroes. It’s not as if…

Tintin and the Art of Metadata

March 15, 2014May 4, 2021 by Erich Scholz

Today I made my way up thru a rainy stretch of 635 where I popped in to the Preston Rd Half-Price Books. Discovered several volumes of hardcover facsimiles of Tintin for sale so I grabbed 3 copies at $10 a throw. Sounds like a lot but these things go for $30 a piece if you…
