1930's Ipod cane !

WALKER CAN TUNE IN WITH RADIO IN CANE

So that a pedestrian may enjoy broadcast programs wherever he goes, a German, inventor, Alfred Mintus, has devised what he calls a “radio walking stick.” Outwardly it resembles an ordinary cane, but the interior contains a miniature receiver and batteries. The user has merely to plant the stick in the ground, adjust a pair of pocket ‘phones to his ears, and listen in, as illustrated in the photograph.
It only remains now for the inventor to perfect the apparatus so the pedestrian need not interrupt his walk while listening in, a possibility foreseen by the inventor of the cane.

Found Tapes

Harold Shellinx : Found Tapes Exhibition

"Some years ago, the Dutch musician, sound artist and researcher started a tape collection by wandering through the streets of cities and suburbia, looking for leftovers, picking up thrown away tapes that otherwise would have been worn up by weathers and time to finally vanish completely.

On the Found Tapes Exhibition website, one can not only view photographs of his found tapes but also browse the contents of these revived Frankenstein style mix-tapes, but listen to and download their soundings as well. And from time to time, the artist invites the audience to live performances based on the acoustic treasures of his collection."

LP#2 Arnold Stang's Waggish Tales (1960)

Arnold Stang's Waggish Tales of
Peter and The Wolf and Ferdinand The Bull

A classic entertainer from the 1950's and 1960's ...
The liner notes says : "Arnold Stang, wearing the glasses familiar to millions of TV, movies and legitimate stage fans, raised his voice a pitch to its instantly-recognized nasal tones, and proceeded to impart his distinctive charm to the classic children's stories "Peter and The Wolf" and "Ferdinand The Bull". At Mr. Tang first words, the men in the control room smiled and settled back for a program of pure enjoyment by one of their favorite entertainers."

LP#1 Jim Bakker - How To Accomplish The Impossible (1977)

Hey, here come my first modest contribution to the vinyl sharity community : a full LP rip and high-def' scans for the cover art. Please not that Easy Share web hosting provide a limited hosting time of the uploaded files : 1 month after the last download.

I've found this spoken word record at Emmaüs sharity shop, This one was THE FOUND of the week-end, maybe first because it is quite unusual to found audiobooks or spoken word records in ENGLISH here in France ! (especially that kind of christian blah blah preacher speach, then the cover art is great ;-), and of course the purpose of this record :
Jim Bakker teaching you How To Accomplish The Impossible (with The Big Three Mountain Movers).Take a look at the back cover (link above) to read more and grab the mp3s via easy share after the jump. I hope you'll enjoy this first submission, and that there will be plenty more.

Listen to sweet calypso @ Schadenfreudian Therapy

"1950-60s vintage Calypso music"
(the REAL stuff, not Harry Belafonte or the souvenir steel drum music sold to tourists)....schlocky background music used in commercials and locally produced TV and radio shows in the Sixties....out of print music from Mon Rivera, Puerto Rican plena master....and various & sundry kitch classic from years gone by. Yeah, buddy."

Another music blog i'll have to visit as often as possible : Shadenfreudian Therapy a great source for calypso music
(the latest post on this blog is about one of the best-known calypso masters : Lord Kitchener and features some unavailable tracks from the man for your lucky ears). I also want to mention the “Clear the Room” compilation, a glorious collection of some of the worst music imaginable, as describe by the author. HILARIOUS ! I can't wait for "clear the room vol.2"...
Thank you so much for sharing these precious calypso treasures.

"The real story of Superheroes" by Dulce Pinzon

Dulce Pinzon took photographs of mexican immigrant workers in New Yor City dressed as superheroes.
As he said : "The principal objective of this series is to pay homage to these brave and determined men and women that somehow manage, without the help of any supernatural power, to withstand extreme conditions of labor in order to help their families and communities survive and prosper."
