PLAYBOY FASHION - SCHOOL’S OUT - LE 1000 - Now just exactly to whom is this being marketed? I can’t imagine that the little girls playing with their Barbie dolls are demanding this sort of attire.

Seems to me, a good sign of a professional organization is that they pay their bills on time. Its amazes me when a conscious effort is made to contract for services at the lowest possible price, and then fail to compensate the contractor what was deserved.

Perhaps an oversight. Or perhaps evidence of what is important to the company nowadays.

I came across this nice compilation of record resources in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas. Figured that some day, I might want to pack a lunch, and set out to visit many of these shops to see what they have to offer. May get some ideas, too.

Thanks to Andy, who developed this list as a hobby, and is having difficulties with “free webhosting services”. The downside of getting to popular, is the pimps want to get their cut of your traffic.

No one said the internet was fair.

Untitled Document: “History remembers the artisans and thinkers, all the others fall away like sand on a beach, we are the most important people as we make the world and reshape it in our own vision. Without the painters, sculpture’s, artists, writers, architects, designers, filmmakers musicians and performers the world that we life in would be a drab and dull place to live. We give the world colour and texture, and yet, humanity takes a dim view of our relevance, it feels that we need to fit into its rules. Rules of functionality and uniformity where everyone is a product, but we do not and can not fit into there mould, as we are more, and to force us to abide be these rules would render us unable to fulfil our true potential, and we have a commitment to history. We must spend our lives in the pursuit of creativity to achieve our full potential, anything is a waste, and we have no idea how long our lives well be so must realise our dreams and ideas or the they my be lost for ever. I believe that everyone sees the world in completely different ways, so there are, in effect 6 billion versions of reality so that every time someone die a version of reality dies with them. This is what creative endeavour is about, is expressing your interpretation of reality to others, as it is often a unique and wholly different way of looking of the world, that gives other a window onto other ways of thinking. “

If you frequent weidemannia, you might have noticed the past few postings titled “Fantasy Vinyl”. [If you missed them, check out the links on the Previous Posts listing on the right-hand menu.]

On first glance, they seem like regular album covers. Right? But if you are perceptive - and I think you are - you will have determined that some of the faces shown on the covers don’t seem to match the images in your memory. And you are right. [If you click the Fantasy album cover, you will see the original album cover for comparison.]

My goal is to alter the history of music as we know it!

OFFER - I would love to create a personalized, custom album cover for YOU, too! Just drop me an email, attaching a few images you would like me to incorporate, let me know which album cover you want “enhanced”, and I’ll give it a shot. No charge - at least for the time being.

Wouldn’t it be great to not only tell your friends you were with the band, but show them the album cover to PROVE IT?

Browse my growing gallery of album covers at Epiclectic’s Vintage Vinyl. They might give you some ideas.
