Watch Pablo Picasso's brush strokes through a special transparent canvas while he's creating paintings in a few excerpts from The Mystery of Picasso a film by Henri-Georges Clouzot. Then watch some more Picasso stuff.

Congratulations to blogger Lex10 and his blog GlyphJockey which has become a favorite of magazine Rolling Stone. Reason is his little movie Royale With Cheese. Soon he will be canonized for his new movie - La Virgen de Xtabay!
"Right On Soul Hits - the stone smashes that are in the charts today! The big ones written by James Brown, Joe Tex, Marvin Gaye, Wilson Pickett and a host of others. The tunes that are lighting up the soul charts from New Orleans to Boston - L.A. to New York. A right on collection in the original sound." (from the Liner Notes)
I'm re-posting* this great record - originally posted in February - for your listening pleasure. The musicians and singers on this album - released in 1972 - are anonymous cover artists but they are great. Groovy listening!

Have a nice weekend!
See to it that you get the Sivuca record if you are interested. It'll be gone on Monday. See you then.
Where am I going?
I'm reading that 77 years old singer/songwriter Lee Hazelwood has contracted kidney cancer and has less than a year left to live. On the bright side he is releasing his (probably) last album - Cake or Death.
Listen to one track here!
A lot of people are tired of RapidShare because of the waiting period you have to endure before you can download a second time, and probably also because it seemed they were acquiring something of a monopoly position. What to use instead? I know there are a great number of alternatives. Which is your favorite one-click file host?
I want:
- NO registration
- to be able to upload AT LEAST 100 Mb each time
- the file NOT to expire before 30 days of inactivity
- to be able to kill the link BEFORE the 30 days
- NO limits to downloads per day
- the site to be REASONABLY clean (from disturbing pop-up ads etc)
- must for FREE
The first suggestion comes from 1977 (Ultracuerpo) (NSFW link) (/lamatriz/bello pubico):
I've recieved several requests for re-posting the record "Guitar & Accordion" by the famous Brazilian accordion player and guitarist Sivuca. It was recorded 1969 at Europa Studios in Stockholm, Sweden. The flutes and strings were arranged by Merit Hemmingson*.
This record has probably never been reprinted, at least I can't find it anywhere. It isn't even on the list of his records on his own website. Let me know if you find it!

The Ultimate The Playboy Townhouse could have looked something like this in 1962. Looks alright to me in 2006. The article is from the May 1962 issue of Playboy.
