Are You Middle Class Enough?

In 1985 Memphis studio group The Dog Police recorded a hilarious video showcasing their canine approch at rock music. Also known The Tony Thomas Trio, the group featured Tony Thomas, Tom Leanardo and Sam Shoup.
Not sure how or when I first scored this but it's pretty dang genius if you ask me...
Patricia, fetch me my lawn chair won't you please?
Ladies and gentlemen, Dog Police: Are You Middle Class Enough?
Well, are you?
Cheers!

The Blue Whale

Dark Shadows Fun Facts: The Blue Whale
The Blue Whale is a pub in Collinsport. It was a very popular hang-out for most of the town's denizens. The same bartender could always be seen working, no matter the time of day.
It is unknown when the Blue Whale was established, but it did exist in 1897 and it appears to be in the same location as The Eagle was from 1796 to at least 1940. Given that Sophie Baker wanted Barnabas Collins to take her back there, it would appear its reputation in 1897 was not much better than that of The Eagle in 1795. By the late 1960s it was a much more reputable place.
The price of a beer in 1967 was 15¢. There was also a jukebox in the corner which cost 25¢ per song. According to Burke Devlin, the Blue Whale served the best lobsters in the world.
The 45-rpm recording of Quentin's Theme had as its B-side Number One at 'The Blue Whale', the background music played at the bar. (London Records - HLD10283 - 1969 - The Charles Randolph Grean Sounde).
So hey, surf's up in Collinsport - crank it up and dig Back At The Blue Whale!
In episode 3, a phone booth is seen in the Blue Whale, however after that point, all phone conversations are made with the payphone on the left wall.
The blue whale is A BUG WHALE .
Thank You Wiki and Miss Liza May

Wicked Nice iPhone Speaker

Dig the totally natural alternative to electronically amplified iPhone sound docks.
Using only the iPhone's built in speaker, the Koostik. acoustically amplifies the volume output by 2 to 4 times!
Think of a solid body guitar that's unplugged-you strum the strings and get a little bit of sound. But if those strings are placed over a hollow body guitar and you strum the strings-you suddenly have acoustic music. The same principal is at work with Koostik.. Simply place your iPhone into the center cradle, and immediately you hear your music acoustically amplified, way cool. 
The Koostik is designed so it works with all generations of iPhone. All of the external buttons and controls of the phone are easily accessible while the phone is docked in the Koostik.
Very nice.

Magical History Tour

Sweet! Here's another awesome Fab 4 thing to look forward to besides Martin Scorsese's upcoming George Harrison documentary!
This summer, you can join Beatles fans from throughout North America on the MAGICAL HISTORY TOUR to Liverpool, London and Hamburg. Fifty years ago, The Beatles journeyed to Hamburg, Germany, and fans will get to follow in the Beatles' footsteps in the city where The Beatles turned from boys to men. In John Lennon's own words, "I grew up in Hamburg, not Liverpool."
The visit to Hamburg is part of Liverpool Productions 27th annual "MMTour" from August 21-September 2, 2010, which brings fans to all the Beatles homes, schools, clubs, homes, early hang-outs and other sites in the three main cities connected to the history. Fans wishing to go to Liverpool and London only, the dates are August 23-September 2, and there are also options for Liverpool-only stays and shorter options.
Interested? I know I am! 50th Anniversary of The Beatles in Hamburg!
Make It Louder!
