Calling all hepcats! DJ Li'l Scratch is layin' down some swingin' tracks at the Manor's "Pork Sword" lounge tonight. But first, have you seen the 1980's sitcom "It's a Living?" If you have, then you know about "Sonny Mann," the comically boorish lounge singer played by Paul Kreppel (in a performance that used to annoy me, though now I find it oddly endearing).

Kreppel had to have been lampooning Buddy Greco, at least vocally, a fantastic Vegas lounge singer who surely originated the phrases "Who loves ya', baby!" and "Ring-a-ding-ding!" and "The meatloaf's fantastic! We're open all night!"

And while I make fun of Buddy, his LP, "16 Most Requested Songs" is winningly primeval. This is how songs like "The Lady Is A Tramp" and "She Loves Me" were first performed - or so I imagine - and in fact, how they should always be performed, with unconscious glitz and boy-yo razzmatazz. Dig it, daddy!
BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post? It's RIGHT HERE.
Josephine simply refuses to endure any of the nonsense we've all been subjected to these past few months, and I can't say that I blame her one bit! Do your thang, J.
"Swing" - Louis Icart, 1928 Look! It's me, fresh off the Express Coach to hell, blissfully swaying on the seat saved for me by my fellow merry miscreants! The heat? Oh, we don't mind her - we were BORN scorching hot. See you firey babes in due time! *kiss*
In today's post, we take a gander at a couple of stills from Sydney Sweeney's new movie, " C hristy" - a riveting tale of fug, derp, and what happens when a crispy wig and a box of Ogilvie Precisely Right join hands with a power blouse in kitschy matrimony. Spoiler alert: you get Fashion Bug John Oates!
