Stop in, look around, have a drink and crank some tunes. I'll be posting some songs ripped from records, some out of print and hard to find stuff, some songs by artists you should be listening to, and a few mixes here and there.

Record Store Day - April 16, 2011










Go to RecordStoreDay.com and find a participating store.


“I think it’s high time the mentors, big brothers, big sisters, parents, Guardians, and neighborhood ne’er do wells, start taking younger people that look up to them to a real record store and show them what an important part of life music really is. I trust no one who hasn’t time for music. What a shame to Leave a child, or worse, a generation orphaned from one of life’s great beauties. And to the record stores, artists, labels, dj’s, and journalists; we’re all in this together. Show respect for the tangible music that you’ve dedicated your careers and lives to, and help It from becoming nothing more than disposable digital data.”

- Jack White

Let The Requested Reposts Begin!

Our crack team at Check The Cool Wax has been fixing links here over the last few months. When we fill a request, we'll give it a post to tell you. Today I give you A Child's Introduction To Outer SpaceAdventures In Sound And Space. Both are excellent Sputnik-era space race recordings. Enjoy. I hope the people who requested these actually get to download them.

Still Fixing Links

Hang in there guys and gals. I'm still fixing links and re-uploading music. I guess I didn't realize so many links were dead... One of my servers is now gone and I think about 3/4 of my records were posted on it. If a link is dead, drop me a message and I'll try and get on it. Please be patient and stop back again. Pretty soon the links will be fixed and it will be time to get back and post new stuff. Stay sharp!

Bob Hope :: New Years Day


Squeaking this in on the last day of January... Procrastination! It's probably my biggest flaw. Another track off the Bob Hope Holidays record.

Coming up next is a really cool record of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby On The Vacation Road To Minnesota. I know right? Cool!

Song posted very soon!

Hail To The King!


I forgot to wish the King of Rock n Roll a happy birthday...

Christmas TV Burnout!

Happy New Year everyone! Well another Christmas has come and gone... Bummer eh? Now that all of you have put away your Christmas music collections, I have finally got this mix together and posted it. If you don't get it now, I'll make sure it is still posted next Christmas. I hope you enjoy it. I've picked my favorite clips and arranged them in an order that seems to make sense. Now it's back to trying to fix all of these broken links. Wish me luck.
