    The Okeh Laughing Record

    The Drunkard Song... gotta keep my eyes open for that one! And wasn't Spike Jones' recording of Flight Of The Bumblebee all laughs too (literally, that is)? I think I heard it a long while back.

    The Okeh Laughing Record

    Let there be canned laughter! Say, wasn't there a record where Rudy Vallee inexplicably cracks up during a song? I believe it was released under a specialty label.

    Those are swell! (but $160 for a set!?!?)

    With pyjamas as standard school attire this only seems like the next logical step...

    Vintage Books and Magazines

    I just got my hands on a really neat bunch of National Geographics from 1941. The full year, actually. Every issue seems to have at least one article on the war effort throughout the british empire, and two issues came with map supplements. I'm seriously considering getting that world map...

    does it feel a little creepy wearing a dead person's clothing?

    It doesn't bother me one bit, however.... When I discussed the possibility of getting a vintage suit with mother, she disgustedly replied "No son of mine's wearing some dead guy's clothes! How do you know the previous owner wasn't a leper or some sicko??". You can imagine her disgust when I...

    Valkyrie

    Tom Cruise a nazi?? Pfft. He looks like some rich pretty boy in a badly chosen Halloween costume and about as tough as a dollop of whip cream....

    Do you know the Duncan Sisters?

    I knew that name sounded familiar.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Zca2XiRAtU They kinda look more 1919 than 1929 to me in that clip...

    Share your own art here :)

    I thought I'd post my second attempt at airbrushing here- Inspired by an illustration from a 1939 ad.

    Vintage dreams?

    I get these all the time... The one I remember most was a perfectly normal scene on Hallowe'en of 1938 (and in black and white to boot). I was at my (completely fictitious) girlfriend's house listening to the radio when someone turned the dial to Orson Welle's War Of The Worlds broadcasts. We...

    Could you survive?

    Could I survive in 1937? Heck, I'd actually be better off then than I am now! (sounds naive, but I have my reasons) Like some have mentioned, I've got skills more fitting to that period, particularly in the field of graphic arts. And if it doesn't work out at that, I could work on a railroad...

    Blackadder

    Blackadder Goes Forth.... It appears that someone's mating this show with another british TV classic... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G3okZ-Rst0

    Talking about Fred Astaire

    Amazing! Only Fred Astaire could perform the same dance over and over again with such precision. Although for multiple-Fred numbers I still prefer Bojangles Of Harlem (Thanks to Mel Brooks, Puttin' On The Ritz has an entirely different connotation...)

    Let's See Your Electric Trains!

    Practice, mac, practice. I used to be as jittery as, dare I say it, a rattlesnake's noisemaker, but years of toying with the knife steadied things quite a bit. And not once have I cut myself.

    Let's See Your Electric Trains!

    Or you could kitbash a few cars. Somewhere I've an article about building B&O's Capitol Limited from Bachmann and Rivarossi equipment.... (Oh for a full model of the 1937 Super Chief...)
