Mystery Spatula Theatre?

It seems that some MST3K-loving cable access TV types have created a loving tribute in the form of Mystery Spatula Theater 11. (The YouTube clip mentions their website.

Happily, there seems to be scads of original MST3K material on YouTube, including, at this writing, a full show.

We put Duracells in this French chanteuse and normal batteries in...

A YouTube wag thinks that this medley of 1960s videos by French singer Sheila is really a disguised ad for Duracell. I would say that the cover of Hello Little Girl by Lennon and McCartney, in particular, reveals that this was the day that Sheila forgot to stick to decaf. :)

All singing! All dancing! All Lemony-fresh!

Worst Record Covers ever

This collection of Worst Album covers includes the LP "Can I Borrow A Feelin'?" And I thought that was a Kirk Van Houten song!

I expect to find the first LP by the 1960s German rock band The Tonics on one of these sites someday. It shows the band members jumping in a distrubingly crazy way.

"Meet Socialist Turtle! He's a 400 year old small four-legged reptile and hardcore Stalinist!"

Here's a link to the page on Upton's Universe where you can find mini-comics about a favourite comic character during my university days: Socialist Turtle by Vancouver cartoonist Colin Upton.

(I have a copy of his re-introduction in the January 1990 Discorder magazine which I am thinking of tacking by my desk at work, thus further befuddling my co-workers.)

Artist Upton recalls that the strip was "Mysteriously popular with kids." But Socialist Turtle is such a cuddly-looking agitator!
