Rescued from Cornslaw: Philebrity
From Jan 13, 2007
Most of us at Cornslaw Industries were extremely excited about being noticed by Philebrity. Though we tried for several minutes to get the cat to share the excitement. Thanks to Philebrity for recognizing that a pack rat and a scanner is a wonderful combination.

A really strange celebrity death triple
George Steinbrenner’s death today makes number three for a really strange celebrity death triple that began with underground comic book author Harvey Pekar and Fug Tuli Kupferberg’s deaths on July 12, 2010.
Interesting conversations in line today at St. Peter’s Gate. Perhaps?
I imagine Kupferberg would likely want to talk to Pekar; who might be cordial to Kupferberg. Right? Maybe not. Both of them may wish to talk to Steinbrenner, who probably wouldn’t give a shit to talk to either of them (or really even know who either of them are). Pekar’s from Cleveland, so he can’t be a Yankees fan. And Kupferberg has got to be a Mets fan. Right? At the very least, he’s old school enough of a New Yorker to wax nostalgic for the Brooklyn Dodgers… that leads to hatred for the Yankees. Again, right?
So many unanswered questions.
R.I.P. Harvey, Tuli, and George.

General Electric Show’N Tell Picturesound
Wish I knew something more about these things. I saw one at a flea market a while ago. I figured I might come back later to see if it was still there. It wasn’t. This scan was from the Bowling Green Music Library and Sound Recording Archives.
Anyone know when it was manufactured (1960s, I guess)? How much did it sell for? How many “programs” did they make? How did it work?
The info must be out there, I just haven’t looked too hard for it.
