K-Tel Record Selector Commercial

 

…and some hilarious comments from YouTube viewers:

  • That’s great if you only have about 10 records. I hear this new invention called shelves works pretty well too…
  • I got one of these too as a gift but I hardly used it. It didn’t handle double albums well, and the slot that held each sleeve stressed the edge of the record and warped the vinyl. The records also did not rest completely upright but leaned against each other, causing further warping. The thing was a big heap ‘o fail.
  • Do you get the impression that problems were a little simpler back then?
  • Rec-ORD!
  • He lost me on “space age”.
  • That sure is a terrible collection of LPs.
  • Hahaha, I have like all of those records!
  • If you look closely, you can see the lead in the paint on the walls and the asbestos particles in the air. haha XD
  • This belongs in the hall of shame right next to the DVD REWINDER.
  • “Space-Age Design” I believe refers to the fact that it was design by NASA (obviously for the Apollo missions) to keep the astronaut’s record albums from floating all over the space capsule in zero-gravity, risking lives and damaging equipment.
  • “I sure hope I can impress Janey with my groovy HI-Fi, if i can only stop dumping my albums on the floor like a dork”
  • the ‘space age’ was in the early ’60’s. what the hell was wrong with standing your albums against a wall on the shage carpeting? I would’nt trust this idiot near a turntable.
  • This is the original “digital” selector, using any digit you care to use.

There are no less than three Tijuana Brass albums in his collection.

I’m tempted to say he’s a dork for this. But I have twelve.

An Infamous Pop Music Moment: Catwoman Steals Chad & Jeremy’s Voices

Chad & Jeremy guest star on Batman (as singing duo Chad & Jeremy). Catwoman and her evil companions, on the cue “Let’s get them!”, proceed to use a ray gun to steal the singers’ voices, which Catwoman intends to put into a box and hold the British government ransom. (The government will refuse to pay. Hmm.)

Batman, superhero that he is, is nonetheless completely neutralized by a darkened room–seems among all his high-tech gadgetry he doesn’t carry a simple flashlight. But nabbing Catwoman isn’t his priority anyway, nor is returning the stolen voices. Quieting an excited group of young females is the job for this superhero.

WDVE Morning Show: “I Had Me the Flu” (1990)

paulsen

From a bygone era of FM morning comedy in Pittsburgh, the WDVE morning team of Scott Paulsen and Jim Krenn.

I thought it was appropriate given our annual observance, following the Christmas season, of flu season.
