It's Raining, It's Pouring

And don't it feel good? The farmers need it badly. (Happy Dance)

And now for something completely different....

1. Kiddie Records Weekly: Classics From The Golden Age.
"For two full years, Basic Hip Digital Oddio will be featuring weekly stories and songs from the golden age of children's records, a period which ran from the mid 1940s into the early 1950s. This era produced a wealth of classics, headed by Capitol's Record-Readers and the RCA Victor Little Nipper series. Each one of these recordings has been carefully transferred from the original 78s and encoded to MP3 format for you to download and enjoy."


2. If Charlie Parker Was A Gunslinger, There'd Be A Whole Lot of Dead Copycats: Cultural and Personal Observations by Tom Sutpen and Stephen Cooke.
"It's the way to educate your eyes. Stare. Pry, listen, eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long." -- Walker Evans


3. Missing In Action: The Woman Behind Televison's Golden Age.
"Missing in Action" is the untold story of the unsung women who helped to invent television in post-war New York. They were television's first directors, producers, writers, and PAs; but no one knows who they are today. This documentary turns the spotlight on these behind-the-scenes pioneers, toppling stale ideas of 1950’s Woman and of Television’s Golden Age.
