the Tuesday Song of the Week

This week we got a forgotten crooner, who was a big star in the 1930's and '40s.

'Dance Ballerina Dance' - Buddy Clark

Mr. Clark (born Samuel Goldberg) would probably been one of the Frank Sinatra/Tony Bennett/Perry Como type stars of the 1950s and later, but was killed in a plane crash in 1949.

1939 Lincoln Zephyr

A mind-bogglingly beautiful automobile,

 available on mind-bogglingly awesome stuff! 

Like cufflinks, and throw blankets (as seen above above), 

and also pillows.  And shirts, and clocks and watches, and computer/phone accessories, and mugs and magnets and MORE.

the Tuesday Song of the Week

This week's selection isn't for everyone, but if you can stand it, it's worth a listen:

'Prenzlauerberg' - Beirut

According to AllMusic.com, Beirut's music is a mash of Balkan folk and electronica.

Here's some REAL Balkan folk.  It's crazy fast, not lumbering as the piece above: 

'Briu' - Taraf de Haïdouks

By the by, if you ever find yourself in the City of Bothersome Love, and you want to hear some kickin' brass-heavy and BO awesome Balkan music, see if you can find where and when the West Philadelphia Orchestra is playing.  Here's their website: http://wpo.westphiladelphiaorchestra.com/

fairytale wedding

or 'fairy tale wedding'

Your choice.

Now, if you've been invited to a fairytale wedding (or fairy tale wedding), you could certainly used this:

fairy tale wedding print wrapping paper to wrap your gift.  (Note that the paper is NOT NOT NOT blurry as it appears above.)  

OR

if it's your wedding that's the fairytale wedding/fairy tale wedding, you could give a few of these very neat...

...wallets to your bridesmaids, to show your appreciation.  (Note that these aren't blurry in real life either.)

OR if it's your fairytale/fairy tale wedding, and you're a generous and appreciative-type bride, you could give your bridesmaids these...

messenger bags.

Which are lovely, useful, and will always remind them of your marvelous fairy tale/fairytale wedding.

Get all of the above - plus MORE MORE MORE fairy tale wedding stuff -- here:

gone fishin'

Lotsa people, including men, like to fish.

or like fish, which is way different from liking to fish.

Nevertheless, we got stuff for both fisherman and fisher friends, to wit:

fish print gift wrap

 fish-oriented lumbar pillows

 fish-intensive apparel

And waayyyyyyy more fish-oriented stuff here:
