Does [this](http://www.showandtellmusic.com/pages/galleries/gallery_v/erickbeverly.html) look postcoital to anyone but me? (And why is the dummy wearing more makeup than she is?) ---

Wow. I have no idea where I got it, but I actually own [this album](http://www.showandtellmusic.com/pages/galleries/gallery_g/FTparadise.html) on vinyl. Strange, since I have no record player. ---

I’m sorry, but [soothing](http://www.showandtellmusic.com/pages/galleries/gallery_b/soothing.html) is the last word I’d use to describe this album cover. That baby looks positively evil-like the Welch’s Grape Juice Girl. ---

Thanks to those who provided the gallery links. I’m going to send this place to my sister. And OMG, but I remember the following cover! Never owned it, I was a little too young to buy my own records, but I sure knew who Herb Alpert was.

Trying to find out more about the singer that impressed edwino so throws me headlong into this site. [The 365 Days Project](http://www.ubu.com/outsiders/365/index.html) If it was possible to find more unusual music than the “Show and Tell link” this is where it resides. My fave so far ["Red Shadow (The Economics Rock & Roll Band) - Understanding Marx](http://www.ubu.com/outsiders/365/01-1.html) ---

I’ve just spent _hours_ methodically working my way through that entire site, and it has been one of the most entertaining web experiences I’ve had since someone once turned me on to Lileks. Absolutely fantastic site, and it makes me want to go scour thrift stores RIGHT NOW. 🙂 Brilliant stuff. I love the Shaggs with an intensity so deep it’s actually a little frightening. I think what I like about it is that he’s so understanding of the artistic sincerity of all these total crackpots. I love it. ---

No I take it back here’s the best, so far, from The 365 Days Project. [Orson Welles - Frozen Peas Spot](http://www.ubu.com/outsiders/365/03-1.html) > [@](#): > > The infamous recorded outtakes of Orson trying to get through a spot for Peas. No clue on the exact date, but rumors speculate that it originates from the 1960’s Orson Wells : “Get me jury and show me how you can say “_in_ July”, and I’ll go down on you!” ---

Sorry about the last broken link. Thanks for fixing it. Anybody here heard of [Eilert Pilarm](http://eilertpilarm.to/), the erm…original…Swedish Elvis impersonator?

I’ve seen at least two of these in person: [Little Evelyn](http://www.showandtellmusic.com/pages/galleries/gallery_v/littleevelyn.html) used to be on a bill with one of my neighbors from (very) rural central Alabama. The neighbor billed himself as “the world’s shortest man… ONLY 16 inches tall!”\* and occasionally exhibited himself in a trailer with Little Evelyn, who sang and led prayers. It was both terrifying and fascinating to a kid and perhaps is responsible for my lifelong fascination with sideshow performers. The flip side is [this guy](http://www.showandtellmusic.com/pages/galleries/gallery_v/gary.html) , who wasn’t fascinating- just terrifying. He came to the ultra-religious gradeschool I attended in the 1970s. Puppets talking about “burning in hell forever and ever” in demonic voices are probably responsible for most cases of teenaged incontinence. I remember that one of his “acts” was a “true story” about a cowboy who is robbed and beaten by robbers. (In Greek theater style he worked exactly two puppets at a time, though sometimes one of the puppets was actually Legion.) Two passersby- a priest and a lawman- leave him to die while the third- an Indian- stops to help him then takes him to an inn. Even third graders knew that this was not a “true story” but a nominal revamping of The Good Samaritan. \*His legs were atrophied, so he didn’t count them, besides which the 16 inches was a considerable underestimate as he was 21 inches if he was a centimeter, even excluding the legs. ---
