Flickr profile nyctreeman says about his set "German Culture Magazines": "From Art Deco, Bauhaus, High Fashion, and Modern 1930s German Life...
These images are taken from Illustrirte Zeitung Magazine. There are about 1200 of these magazines from 1930 to 1939. This is going to be a big set." - Let's hope so!

Music: Aarch Hall - Konga Joe
Arch Hall - Konga Joe (1959)
"Strangely, we find none of this terror in the song “Konga Joe,” by Arch Hall Jr., despite the fact that his song title implicitly references the most menacing figure conjured by the west out of the Dark Continent — King Kong. We might expect something more nightmarish from Mr. Arch Hall Jr., a grinning, blonde pompadoured, failed teen idol more famous for starring in a series of exploitation movies written and directed by his father." text and photo from The Essential Ghoul's Record Shelf

Music Video: Nina Simone: My Baby Just Cares For Me
My Baby Just Cares For Me... "featured on her (Nina Simone 1933-2003) debut album Little Girl Blue (1958) and was unnoticed for many years. Then in the mid-1980s, the song gets used in a Chanel no.5 advertisement. It was released as a single, and became one of Simone's biggest hits, causing her comeback."
Wikipedia
"Simone would never benefit financially from the album (Little Girl Blue), because she sold the rights for 3000 dollars. It meant that she missed out on more than 1 million dollars of royalties (mainly because of the successful re-release of "My Baby Just Cares for Me" in the 1980s)."

PS I thought I had posted about this a long time ago but I couldn't find anything in the archives. At the worst it'll be a repost ;)
Blogger: Problem
I'm missing the darkish green-blue post background. It's all grey :( Why? I don't know, I didn't fiddle with it.
Update
Strangely enough it looked alright in IE but not in Firefox... I shouldn't have had to but I made some changes in the code (which I'm lousy at) so now the green-blue background is back but I lost the white shadowed outlines (wrap). However I don't think I mind. Time for some more change? I'm thinking of an all grey background including the sidebar. Or is it time for white? We'll see.
