Vintage Photos: Gas & Bear


Two very interesting photos

posted by tpoe4nuk to LiveJournal - Vintage Photographs

The uploader about the first one: "Gas Attack Rehearsal in USSR, near Leningrad 1937, photographer - Victor Bulla".
About the second: "Don't know if this photo is original or fake... just came across it..."

My own reflection: The bear = Russia?

Vintage Magazine: Teen In


"Teen In 1968 - a weird sort of a rock magazine and comic that featured characters that were of that generic Archie clone look. US manga, huh? But overall intended for chicks. That's right I said it - I said "Chicks". Chicks chicks chicks." - see more, read more at GlyphJockey.

Book Covers: Tid och rum



Tid och rum (Time and Space) is just a Swedish book that I found and liked the look of. It's a historic atlas. The edition (third) that I have is printed in 1969 but it wouldn't surprise me if the cover design was slightly older.

Music Video: The Walker Brothers at Millesgården



The Walker Brothers - The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore.

The song and the group is great and the sound is OK but the video quality is pretty poor but I wanted to show it because it is shot over here - or rather at the Millesgården sculpture park on Lidingö, Stockholm, Sweden. The year was 1966.

If you liked the music and if you didn't know it before you should check out Scott Walker.

Janet Agren

(Janet Ågren)
