I could watch electronics repair videos like this one all day. Okay, I admit that’s exactly what I’m doing.
From Shellac to Cardboard
How many recordings on 78 rpm discs represent a loss of revenue to record labels? I’m guessing none, but they sued the Internet Archive anyway.
What about records glued onto the back of cereal boxes? I remember those. They have collectors, of course.
Relaxing Music for Upsetting Questions
Law enforcement “has” the alleged shooter, because he turned himself in. So, how can the obviously inept Kash Patel justify making it seem as though they “got” him? If the rifle was found almost immediately, why couldn’t it be traced to its owner just as immediately? Why isn’t this tragedy seen as an example of what can come from the gun culture that the NRA and other groups want to expand?
Enough. I’m putting on headphones.
Doing My Bidding
Today’s Jumble has prompted me to mention that I lost the Heritage Auction for the five pages of Harvey Comics original art, featuring Casper, Richie Rich, and Wendy The Good Little Witch. I lost by only ten dollars, but my strategy is to bid my maximum amount and stick to it.
Cover Thumbs-Up
Most “hour” network TV shows are now about 40 minutes long. So is this survey of Fantastic Four comic book covers from the legendary Lee-Kirby run on the title. More than half of the issues were inked by my dearly departed pal, Joe Sinnott, who returned to the series in issue #44, after inking Jack’s art for the introduction of Doctor Doom in issue #5.
Breaking Bat
Bryan Cranston is the voice of Jim Gordon in Batman: Year One, adapted from the comic book limited series, written by Frank Miller and drawn by David Mazzuccelli. Real life cryptocurrency crime fighter Ben McKenzie, who later played Gordon in the Gotham TV series, is the voice of Bruce Wayne.
