Music blog: Drugburn
Drugburn is a blog that despite its subtitle "taking music to make drugs to" is dealing not in drugs but in music. I happened to stumbled upon it yesterday. The blog is focused on French 60s yé-yé pop, like Gainsbourg, Dutronc, Gall, Vartan, but also other 60s pop and more modern stuff. You will find great mp3s and videos there for download.
The France Gall Scopitone video in the post below is taken from Drugburn. Thanks!
By the way, here are some French 60s pop videos found in YouTube :
Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot: Bonnie & Clyde
Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot: Comic Strip
Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin: Je T'aime, Moi Non Plus

Illustration: German sheet music from the early 30s
Click images to enlarge
Tanztee und Tonfilm (1932) and Zum 5 Uhr Tee (1931) are two collections of sheet music I found a month ago and bought because of the obvious beauty of the covers. I hope you enjoy them as I do. Over at Musselsoppans vänner you will find the covers as well as a couple of examples of the notes. Sometimes I wish I was a musician. Maybe you are?

Toy: Dreamlines
Quoting the excellent Presurfer: "Dreamlines is a non-linear, interactive visual experience. The user enters one or more words that define the subject of a dream he would like to dream."
This is, by the way, where I'm going today. Any guesses?:)
Play around with it for a while and cool images, that would easily pass for art, will appear and evolve on your screen. Go ahead and dream.

Cartoon: Tin Pan Alley Cats
Some great screenshots of a bunch of cool cats from a war-time (WWII) Warner Bros cartoon called Tin Pan Alley Cats.
Hardly politically correct but they ARE cool cats.
Screenshots from another cartoon in a similar style: Coal Black and the Sebben Dwarfs

Take a look at some cute childrens books illustrations by Swedish-born Gustaf Tenggren. He's probably most famous for his work on Disney movies like Snowhite.
