Here's another treasure trove of 78s, courtesy of archive.org. It just occurred to me to go there and sort of prowl around, and oh, Man! I found Popeye the Sailor on the very first page (instead of searching, I just said browse the whole collection -- 16 pages of listings, many of which are multiple items), as well as the long-sought "Uncle Josh at the Bug House" (2 versions), and Eddie Cantor singing "Cheer Up! Smile! Nerts!" Oh, also George M. Cohan's "Life's a Funny Proposition, After All" and more -- can't take the time to tell you now, and I've only gotten through four or five of the pages. I have to go!

My great pal [livejournal.com profile] geckoman has located an online viewing copy of The Greatest Music Video Ever Made, namely Devo's "Are You Experienced?" This was only ever shown on TV once that I ever saw -- I saw it first at a presentation by Doug Smith at the 1984 Dallas Fantasy Fair. I wouldn't have seen it on TV if Geck hadn't called and told me to put a tape in -- just in time, too! Thanks to him, and thanks to Weird Al for showing it, and thanks to Devo for making it. Watch it several times. Sorry the quality's not great, but you're still ahead of where you'd have been if it hadn't been available at all.
