Richard Diamond, Private Detective, "The Ralph Chase Case," from, I think, 5/15/49. Dick Powell gets to deliver great tough talk written by Blake Edwards. As in my previous post, I am baffled as to how Diamond can fire two hot slugs into someone, make nice chat with the boys in blue while the stiff cools down, then drive downtown and sing "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" to wealthy girlfriend Helen. Ah, radio...

Yep! Warren & Dubin are fab, infact I love 'em so much I have a hallway of framed Busby Berkeley movie sheet music (I really need to get them professionally framed).

Wow...talk about pre-code naughtiness! Hahahaha.

I'm listening to Max Raabe and the Palast Orchester performing one of my favourite songs - "Just a Gigolo".

In April of 1940 , a dance was to take place at a building called The Rhythm Night Club in Natchez Mississippi . A famous band leader on his way back to Chicago was going to play a one night engagement at the Rhythm Club .
In order to keep the non-paying public from getting a free show , the manager of the club boarded up the windows and doors leaving only the front door open . One way in and one way out . The club was decorated with spanish moss hung from the chicken wire in the rafters . The moss had been sprayed with a petroleum based insecticide called Flit in order to kill the bugs that lived in the moss .
A fire broke out , 209 people were killed . It is still listed as the 2nd deadliest nightclub fire in United States history .

Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but "A Day in the Life" by The Beatles, the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club album:


[video=youtube;FCUeia-nEio]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCUeia-nEio[/video]

For some reason, this is my favorite Beatles song. It's got catchy lyrics, a good melody, and a hauntingly suspenseful orchestra during two phases of it.

Anybody able to explain the ending though? I mean the part that starts at around 5:10 in the video. "Never could be any other way," what? Creepy sounding the first few times. I remember listening to it late at night on my iPod, and it startled me pretty badly.

Wow, that is creepy. I would say it's LSD Induced.
