Hear The Beatles Tell All - 1964

Two KRLA disk jockeys snagged the Beatles during their 1964 American tour and took their interviews to Vee-Jay records. The record sold well and was reissued again and again. You might feel a little sorry for the lads as you listen to this. Link in comments.

Miss Him, Miss Him, Miss Him

I was aware of the PAUL IS DEAD theory at the time but gave it little attention. Radio stations such as WABC, WKNR, CFNY, WPLJ, WMCA, WKBW, and their radio personalities were busy investigating PID and giving it airtime. Some of the jockeys involved were Roby Yonge, Alex Bennett, and Dave Fox. A number of famous people were interviewed and eight CD's of material resulted. New and improved link in comments.

A Flaming Samsung Galaxy J7

I previously did a post about an Android phone that burned my hand a little. Here is a video of a Galaxy J7 which I caused to explode, burn, and smoke by dropping a 2.5 pound weight on it. It's all about that vulnerable skinny battery. Watch this if you please. Do try to never drop your android onto a hard surface.

Star Trek Memories - 1993

"Boldly going where no audio has gone before, Star Trek Memories is William Shatner's own behind-the-scenes look at the legendary '60s television series that continues to spawn movies, books, and series spin-offs 26 years after the last episode aired. Avid Trekkers are sure to be delighted with this first-hand account from Captain Kirk himself". Link in comments.

What fun. This blog began in 2007 and I started posting earnestly in 2012. There are now more than 810 total posts. Almost all of these posts have downloadables and none of the links are broken, thanks to Google Drive which hosts all of my files for FREE! Everyone hates link rot. It encourages bloggers to quit, and encourages blog visitors to stop visiting. Yesterday I visited blogs FunkyFrolic, TheCrimeLounge, and ShatnersToupee and loved what I saw but it's all for nought.

My downloadables will be available until Google goes the way of Altavista. I recommend you use the JUMP THROUGH THIS BLOG links on my blog to help you find some goodies.
