Yea, I live near the museum!! And Eastern State Pennitentiary.
There's also the Muetter Museum. All "vintage" lol
Never heard of Bubbles Jazz Club, but a quick google search says it still exists and it looks liek something I would like, but my husband would hate and not be caught dead...
First of all, my condolences for moving to Jersey lol ;) (j/k, South Jersey gal here, through and through!)
Second of all, I PMed you my number. You should come to Philly. It's a little bit of a way, but Tattooed Mom's a a neat bar and The Blue Comet has "Rockabilly Sundays."
I also...
The "bass" used on some digital restorations of 1920s music is terrible. It is overly-thumping and leaves a lot of "dead air" over the track in an attempt to cover up the charming pops and hisses.
I still prefer my old music to sound OLD and mono and somewhat tinny. That's the way I like it.
"Run Run Away" by Slade for ALL TIME favourite.
"If I Had A Talking Picture Of You" for an all-time favourite oldie.
I'm also quite fond of a certain 1931 song by Harry Roy & His Bat Club Boys!!!
I love grainy, poppy, static-y, lo-fi old music the way it was meant to be heard. It gives it charm and character.
I also despise this "bass" cover-up that lots of "remastered" 1920s songs have. Ick. It's MEANT to sound tinny and that's the way we all love it.
If you're talking newer...
"4) Suggested by Vanessa, The Authenitc Reproducers: This person has a library full of vintage patterns, books on vintage clothes, and copies of the old Sears catalogue. This person has trouble finding room for the clothes they make along with all of the fabric they keep on hand to make them...
SIMPLER TIMES:
I have an old expenses book handwritten by my grandfather. He spent 38 cents on whisky in January 1937!! lol And $2.17 on a new tire for his car!!
TOTALLY AGREE.
I love comparing the two times. One of the reasons it fascinates me is because it's so different in such a short period of time. But to go back? Hell no.
Today is great. Going by my female ancestors, if I were alive in th 20s-30s-40s I would have lived in a tiny town...
My dad has lots of movies from the 1940 (even some in colour!) They are fabulous. My Aunt Ella flips off the cameraman in one film. lol
I'd love to see, of course!!!
She's boring in interviews. She speaks in a monotone. She rarely gets emotional or excited about anything (at least the interviews I've seen.) Just Bleh. Her appearance would have you think otherwise that's why I've always been indifferent to her.
Dorothy Lamour and Louise Brooks = :eusa_clap
Burt Reynolds = VOMIT
Lauren Bacall and Greta Garbo are not "sexy" at all. At least not to me [huh]
Johnny Depp = never did a thing for me. Not even in Cry Baby when he's rockabillied up.
Dennis Quaid = lol
JEAN HARLOW!! <3 Should...
