Random Beatles Newsclippings Circa 1970

Always on the lookout for something "new" to blog about, TSG must admit that sometimes there just isn't anything "new" in our corner of the universe that we consider worthy of a post. Please bear with us--this week we decided to fire up the Wayback Machine and go the Retro Route once again.  

(note that one cartoon caption got trashed in the panning and zooming; it reads,

 "Don't play any Beatles' tunes, Dexter...Dad doesn't dig classical music!")

 

Also, we were quite amused to find this ad on the flip side of one of the pages:

Wiki excerpt: The San Francisco Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis tetrataenia) is a slender multi-colored subspecies of the common garter snake, designated as an endangered subspecies since the year 1967. Some researchers estimate that there are only 1,000 to 2,000 adult snakes remaining. This garter snake prefers wet and marshy areas, and because of its elusive nature, it is difficult to see or capture.

Video Pick Of The Week

TSG would like to thank Michael Cera (yes, that Michael Cera--he was a guest on the WTF podcast this week)  for turning us on to Garth Marenghi's Darkplace

The production values and the humour are MST3K-esque, so if you're in the right mood, this is worth a look.

There are 3 episodes on Adult Swim, and the first episode is on google video here:  http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3311296398556365633#

 

 Enjoy!
