    and wondered if that poor 3 News reporter doing a live cross from Mt Vic might actually die on camera.

    Poor bugger. I was thinking, just do it from inside the car.

    Penny & The Quarters, "You & Me (demo)", 1970:

    Penny & The Quarters are a "lost" soul band which came to prominence in 2010 after an unreleased demo of their song "You And Me" was used in the film Blue Valentine.

    Presumably teenagers at the time, Penny & The Quarters were invited to audition by Harmonic Sounds Studio in Columbus, Ohio, recording three demo songs in all. The group consisted of Jay Robinson, the lead male vocalist and songwriter, and a female lead with three or four male backup singers and an accompanying guitarist.

    The songs were recorded some time between 1970 and 1975 at either Harmonic Sounds Studio or at the home of studio co-owner Clem Price in Columbus. Relegated to storage, the songs were discovered after Price's death in 2006 when a collection of tapes and acetate records was purchased at his estate sale. They were subsequently given to an archival record company, The Numero Group, after a Columbus, Ohio musicologist came into possession of the recordings.

  • Hard News: London's Burning,

    @C., G.,

    Whatevs. I saw it more as a warning (perhaps even - if you wanted to go there - a call for the country to seriously right its moral compass, with haste), rather than an actual unfair representation of reality. See title.

  • Hard News: Science: it's complicated,

    Also interesting was that the data showed that global warming is not infact global in nature. Some parts of the world had cooled. Maybe that is why 'global warming" was changed to "climate change" instead, because global warming wasn't infact global after all.

    Fascinating. You'll be interested to know that, despite the name, no millipede has been found that possesses more than 750 legs. What part has the liberal academe played in this blatant exaggeration, do you think?

  • Hard News: The Orcon Great Blend 2011 in…,

    Hallertau. If the weather's nice, their Riverhead base is worth a visit for a couple of afternoon beers in the sun.

    Great food too.
