Book Covers: Big Brother
1984 was written by Eric Arthur Blair in 1948 and as it has been reprinted a great many times in numerous countries these are of course just a drop in the ocean when it comes to fronts covers of the book. Just the same, there they are.
By the way, the 1984 index stands at "UNGOOD" - that can't be good, can it?

Music: Glen Campbell
Glen Campbell (1936- ) The first video in this Glen Campbell playlist don't have very much of Glen in it as it is a medley of songs sung by a bunch of artists; The Ronettes, Sonny and Cher, Darlene Love and the Blossoms, Bobby Goldsboro, Donna Loren, Billy Preston, The Shindogs, The Righteous Brothers and... Glen Campbell. I just thought it was such a great TV production, this 1965 Shindig show, that I could not not have it in the jukebox. Thank you Polaroid and Dippity-Do!! If you want to watch it in a larger screen just push ZOOM at the bottom of the player.
Thanks to all the uploaders like mrdantefontana and nicetrip...
PS. Did you know he was a member of the Beach Boys in the mid 60s?
OK, here's the famous mugshot too.
Sometimes two great minds get similar ideas at the same time: The World Of Kane.: Glen Campbell: Wichita Lineman

Vintage postcard: World exposition 1937
An interesting postcard from the world exposition - Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne - in Paris 1937. The Nazi-German pavilion on the left placed directly across the Stalin-Soviet pavilion on the right. Talk about premonition of things to come.
Uploaded to Vintage photographs by h rust
The German pavilion was designed by Albert Speer (and sculptor Josef Thorak) and the Soviet pavilion by Boris Mihailovich Iofan (and sculptor Vera Mukhina). Need I say they both were awarded the gold medal?
Please go here for more postcards and photos from the exposition!

Fetish: Librophilia
"Everyone has some kind of place that makes them feel transported to a magical realm. For some people it's castles with their noble history and crumbling towers. For others it's abandoned factories, ivy choked, a sense of foreboding around every corner. For us here at Curious Expeditions, there has always been something about libraries. Row after row, shelf after shelf, there is nothing more magical than a beautiful old library.""...Curious Expeditions has attempted to gather together the world's most beautiful libraries for you..."
