I don't need to comment on this; but it doesn't bode well for the wife to be.

"A rare groove tribute to Black Sabbath"
Oh no! Not another one of those tribute albums! I know, I know, but this is really good. I'm not a big heavy metal fan and not a great fan of Black Sabbath either, so I can't say what someone who is thinks of this; I guess it varies.
A groovy organ dominates "replacing" both original song and guitar. There's a funky and still heavy rhythm section. And finally an upright bass giving it that jazzy feeling. Listen to four of the tracks here.

Why Pie?
A parody on Ingmar Bergman - sort of - or something. Eggs that speak like Cartman in South Park about a pie that is no more. Just really stupid. Why post it? Why look at it? I don't know. Don't do it, I guess. Or do. Whatever.

At Least I Never Played With These
Yes, you are right - this is a re-post. So what?! More re-posts if they are this good!
I'll Be Hornswoggled!!
I'll be dog-gone!! I did not know that there was a "Big Jim" doll made from the Zeb Macahan character (James Arness also known from Gunsmoke) - the sturdy old trapper with a limp - in the 70s TV series How The West Was Won.
By the way, the series was called Familjen Macahan in Sweden and was extremely popular and then again we didn't have much to choose from in those years.

I Played With Dolls
I had probably just about forgotten about it, and then it all came to me. With it a strong urge to go to some meeting and purge myself - "My name is P-E Fronning and I play with dolls". Well, I don't actually, anymore. But I used to. Big Jim was his name. I really longed for the soldier type doll like Action Man, but what I got was Big Jim - a muscular, handsome man in his prime who would do a karate chop when you pushed the button on his back. Of course I didn't reflect on it then but I get a lot of gay vibes from Big Jim and his friend Josh. I don't know. Anyway, I had a lot of fun playing with my doll. I had a gorilla and a net catapult to catch it with and a
van for cruising. There was also a camping set so you could make your own grub. Ah, and then I got a second doll and I just can't remember his name. He was a sailor/pirate who had lost one arm to a shark; so now he had a metal/wooden arm that you pushed inwards to shoot it out with a fierce and lethal force (see update!). Ok, I've come clean; what do you have to confess?

Gordon Wiebe
I found this illustrator through Drawn! and his name is Gordon Wiebe. His work reminded me of a game I ran across some time ago. Well, it's not much of a game really, but it look kind of nice in my opinion.

Observe the minimalistic and nice studio set. Preoccupied with looking at the set his voice kind of took me by surprise.

La Roller Girl
It's time for another one of Gainsbourg's girls, or rather Godard's - Anna Karina. She started out as a Danish model but made a name for herself as an actor in french Nouvelle vague movies directed by Godard. Read more here and here.
Serge Gainsbourg, of course, made her sing a little too. Their great song Rollergirl can be found here on the wonderful blog called Spiked Candy specialized in french 60's pop, ye-ye girls and so on.
UPDATE: Mr Bedazzled - Spike Priggen - sent me this song he wrote about Anna Karina some 20 years ago. Thanks Spike!
