Pee Wee Screen Shots

I've been looking for something Pee Wee related to paint. so i took a few screen shots of Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

this one is actually from an episode of pee wee's play house (pee wee looking in the fish tank)

This is the one i decided to paint.

Thrift Store Finds

This album is really fantastic.

After i picked this up and listened to it i wanted to know everything i could about Esther Phillips. She was praised by many artists including Aretha Franklin, Kenny Rgers, and The Beatles, she even did the favorite Beatles cover of John and Paul when she covered "And I Love Him (Her)". She constantly struggled with drug and alcohol addiction and she died to soon at age 48 from liver and kidney failure.
My favorite song off the album "Scarred Knees" has a sweet "humm" with a squeak every once in a while.... you'll see.

Outsiders

Last night i went CD shopping for the first time in quite a while. I won't pay more than 10$ for a CD so i browsed through the used section and came out with a few gems. I'm always on the look out for "Little Wings" albums which are very hard to come by, especially in the used section. But just my luck some guy traded in a ton of really great CDs while i was there, amongst them were a handful of Little Wings! HURRAY! (more on Little Wings later) But for this blog entry iwanted to touch on the other album i found. The fantastically awful album "The Shaggs Philosophy of the World"

i've always had a hard time listing to any The Shaggs music. but i figure it's sooo bad that i must have it in my collection. So here is a song from the album for all of you to enjoy.

My Pal Foot Foot by The Shaggs

Thrift Store Finds

Now it's about time i share with you my thrift store finds starting with one of my favorites, the self titled "Boss & The Conch Shells".

Boss and the Conch Shells was the in house band for the King's Inn & Golf Club International in Freeport, Grand Bahamas Island in the late 60's early 70's. Performing at the hotel's Bikini Bar poolside and once a week in the Bahama club.

This is a great album, a mellow tropical/reggae style. With great lo-fi quality recordings.

Man Smart - Boss & The Conch Shells

Yup.
