The Mills Brothers had a long and successful career, but they were definitely at their wildest at the start. Dig this amazing number from Twenty Million Sweethearts (1934) (once you get past the announcer referring to them as "boys").

Wow, if Led by Donkeys can quickly do a follow-up on this, it might just spell the end for Farage!!
Nothing to see here. Just Nigel Farage paying tribute to child rapist Ian Watkins for cash money on Cameo.

Literally no suggestions so far so you have a very good chance of getting an on air dedication in front of a pub full of strangers. Would love some suggestions from the many musical experts on here.
Happy New Year to all our theoretical listeners! The Mighty Olafs Record Club returns Thursday 8th January with a Rock&Roll theme for the 70th anniversary of Heartbreak Hotel and what would have been Elvis' 91st birthday.

Silent Matter: Edward Lear's "Hagar and Silsilis, Egypt," 1856. Bequeathed to the Wadsworth Atheneum by Edward Gorey. Initially drawn to this watercolor because it reminded me of Seghers—later to learn of its provenance and Gorey's search for "silent matter" in all art.

This is the lovely Nigel Farage. The photographer gave him a message before he went to support the Boxing Day hunt.
He’d hate it if people shared this and signed the petition for a proper ban on fox hunting - protectthewild.org.uk/our-campaign...
