Family Photo Album

Got my hands on a bevy of family photos yesterday, with the hopes I can put together a photo CD to distribute to family members. The photos are of my ancestors from my maternal grandmothers side of the family: Breitensteins, Johnsons, and others...

Alien Peeping Tom?

Denver resident Jeff Peckman gained national notoriety recently when he asked the Denver city council to put forward a public ballot on aliens to the city's voters. The citizens could then decide whether or not a commission should be created to deal with the possibility of an alien invasion. Ridiculed for his initiative, he then promised to show the nation a video tape which would prove that aliens are indeed visiting earth.

Peckman stated that "It's the best evidence I’ve seen."

Here's the video... (I think)...

Worst Album Covers Ever - Round Five

Once again, it's time to look at some of the worst album covers ever. These stinkbombs have been sitting on music store shelves, just waiting for folks like you and I to pick them up, shout "what the hell!" and drop them like a snarling, incontinent Pomeranian. Let's begin...

For your consideration - Album Cover #1. An old man, a small boy in short shorts, and a donkey. I smell "sex offender" here.

Album Cover #2. Alla Pugatjova was so pleased with how well Viagra has improved her marriage, she's devoted an entire album to the "little blue pill".

Album Cover #3 - Larz Kristerz's Stuff Party 1. Nothing says "throw this record on the turntable for a rockin' good time at your next social gathering" than five guys in disco attire and Elvis hair, right? Right?

Album Cover #4. Yup, those disco/Elvis knuckleheads made another one. This time, they're apparently hard-up for cash, and are asking you to "stuff" some green in their hands, so they can party.

Album Cover #5. Our final submission for this post smacks of Neil Diamond meets Zorro the Gay Blade. I did a Wiki search for this one, and was surprised to learn the following about Orion:

Orion (February 26, 1945 – December 12, 1998) was the stage name of rockabilly singer Jimmy Ellis. Following the death of Elvis Presley in August 1977, Ellis dressed and sang in the manner of Presley and wore a mask during public appearances, fueling speculation that Presley had faked his death and returned to singing. Ellis' singing and natural speaking voice very closely resembled Presley's. Ellis had recorded rock and country singles under his real name for a number of independent labels since the early 1960s before adopting the Orion persona for Sun Records — Presley's first recording label — in 1980.

So wrong, so wrong, so wrong...

More bad album covers coming later, so stay tuned!
