Ah, vinyl records. A needle vibrating as it travels within an undulating groove. I’m looking forward to getting a new LP re-release I’ve ordered. Denro spotted this video from a Boston TV show, with a discussion on the past, present, and future of music on vinyl.

Black comedy
I know that a lot of people really like comedian Lewis Black, and when I see him he does make some good, if sometimes obvious, observations. Black is on The Daily Show right now, but I can take only so much of him, because his grating delivery reminds me of Gilford Godfrey, and it gets annoying very quickly.
Airport security
Warning: This video shows an actual airport security screening, of a man having his groin checked.

Apple to Apple?
I don’t use iTunes, but it seems that the service will finally be offering the Beatles catalog.
Happy Oscar®, Kevin Brownlow!
Right now, TCM is showing F.W. Murnau’s silent film classic, Sunrise.

The first time I saw scenes from Sunrise was in the documentary series Hollywood: A Celebration of The American Silent Film, that was co-created by Kevin Brownlow. Saturday night, Brownlow received an extremely well-deserved honorary Oscar®. The Bioscopic site has an excellent post about the event, including links to videos.

They must be Belgians
As has been my habit for the past 2+ years, when I’m in a foul political mood, I indulge some light-hearted K3 songs. Somebody was nice enough to put good quality K3 videos on YouTube, saving my site from the storage and bandwidth burdens. These are two of my favorites, with the original line-up, Kristel Verbeke (black), Kathleen Aerts (yellow), and Karen Damen (red) — the colors of the Belgian national flag.

Is There Somebody on Mars?
Aww, what the heck, here’s Tele-romeo…
These are two of the most versatile, talented, hardest-working and, yes, sexiest women in show biz. I am certain the only reason Karen and Kristel aren’t internationally famous is because they aren’t from England or America.
