This is hilarious especially the monkey at the end, I don't remember that one. I remember all of these from the back page of comics through the 60's and early 70s, though my family was far too poor to indulge me.

I remember most if those things ...
... and the "hovercrafts"

But, the LIVE monkey?

A live 'vicious' monkey! hahaha

Right ...
I remember the news story; vaguely ...

Every one of these is hilarious.

I've always liked those ...
I liked them when Johnny Carson did them too ...

Hey dude, check out all of these MrVinylObsessive videos freshly recorded from vinyl.

Here is one to get you started. But I hope you have a good sound system, these deserve it.

Wow, it starts with Sirius ....
That is, like, ... wow ...
I used to use that to announce scores during trivia nights ....

I love this; thanks for the share, Mike ...

 

Amazing how all that sound separation and definition comes from a single pinpoint.

Man I gotta get my turntable in order.

The first one of the vinyl recordings I listened to was this one. For quite a long time this song seemed quite apropo.  But possibly or probably not for the obvious reasons.

Here is "Burping Girl" (who I think is a guy) ...

I'm another note, you know what "Spandau Ballet" is; right?

Well that's disturbing.

You never answered my question ....
(Spandau Ballet is a pretty morbid name for a band, actually)

Would it be better if it were called The Remington Ballet ?

Anyway that's the only song of theirs I've ever heard.

"Spandau Ballet" is a WW1 term for someone getting gunned down by a "Spandau" machine gun ...
In WW2 it was expanded to also include the convulsing of those exposed to nerve gasses in the gas chambers ...

Now why would you know that sir?

Why don't you start a band and call it The Zipperhead Apocalypse?

Used during Vietnam, Charlie was coined zipperheads because of the way a head looked after it had been hit with a high powered automatic weapon.

Or maybe The Zipperhead Consortium?

Not a bad band name ....

... and I know lots of things I probably shouldn't know
... but, yet, I somehow do

If it makes you feel any better, this person doubts it HERE ...
(... and even relates it to the possible hangings of German war criminals)

You see I bought a ticket to the world when I enlisted, and it completely ruined my perfect patriotism.

I liked this song (Spandau Ballet - True) because during 9/11 I tried to clue people into the real deal but all they wanted to hear was the packaged bullshit being shoveled by the bush admin.

PEOPLE ARE FUCKING STUPID!

Yeah I'm a fucking soldier and I understand how a group of people would react under automatic fire . Maybe it is a bit dark but what about all the devil fucking garbage music during the 80's and 90's? Was that a good thing? (mosh)

Worse than rap and that is not a stretch

Did they have it wrong when they said all they wanted was the truth to be known? HUH?

What?

I'm going to need a reference here before I can comment ....
(Other than agreeing that people are stupid) ...

I've seen the Glengoolie brand on Archer many times but usually only the first part of the name was visible, I always thought they were drinking Glenfiddich.
Because the bottle and label are similar. But the product is clearly featured on the episode I'm currently watching and is one of the first images on this site.

Ok these aren't exactly youtube links but there is one or more youtube video links on them. 

Not youtube but related to the vinyl offerings and my comment about getting my turntable in order. Ok I dug it out of storage tonight (Beogram 3000) and check this shit out.
Replacement cartridge, (this is ridiculous)  but the top of the line replacement for this 50 year old turntable.
https://www.sound-smith.com/cartridges/bo/voice-bo

I also have the matching Beomaster 3000-2 receiver that was sold with it. A matched set. Now you can look up the Beogram 3000 turntable on eBay and let me know what you think but this set is turning out to be a spectacular thrift store find for $15... from many, um many years ago.
The 3000-2 receiver is in MoMA in NY city, although not currently on display apparently.
https://www.moma.org/collection/works/1842

The cartridge and stylus are intact and appears to be undamaged. The drive belt needed to be replaced. It didn't seem important at the time. Been in storage all this time. The amp worked quite well many years ago but today I can't say.

The "lift" medallion on the turntable control knob came off when I tipped it over to get the exact model number. Needs to be glued back on, but that little aluminum circle alone costs $20! hahaha this thing is a gold mine now.

edited because I realized I hadn't specified the turntable from the start.
sucker weighs a ton though for a turntable. 

There's a LoT of classic old "hifi" equipment going to tons of money these days ...
Why do you think there's a big deal made out of "tubes" or "tube emulation"?

Hell, I've jammed through a bunch of old electronics and it's to die for ....

Even far more rare I have this, fully functional and original from 1966.
It has a modest 100w x 2 RMS output.

Even had a long email convo a few years back about it with the designer who was one of the founders of Dolby Laboratories. It has a unique architecture.
He was fucking amazed that I even had one! And had tracked him down. Hahahaha. He told me all about how the top engineers back then always drove Lincoln's ... Because the blacks all drove Cadillac's! LOL 

It was the 1960s ...
But, holy balls; I'd love to pump some good tunes through that shit ....

Now I wanna go and jam with a tube amp ...
