Musical Monday with Childish Gambino & Young Nudy

Little Foot Big Foot (2024)
Starring: Donald Glover, Robert Bynes, Monyett Crump, Oscar Jordan, and Quinta Brunson
Director: Hiro Murai
Rating: Eight of Ten Stars

In a roadhouse during the early 1930s, Johnny & the Pipe Dancers find themselves performing for a rougher-than-usual crowd.

 


"Little Foot Big Foot" is a catchier and more energetically upbeat than-I-expected tune that offers as many musical twists and turns as the video that supports it. And what a remarkable video it is--it's the sort of mini-movie that we were treated to during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Check it out by clicking below:

Nylon Stockings on a Picture Perfect Wednesday!

There seems to be a day in honor/observation of everything you can think of. We've discovered that May 15th is National Nylon Stockings Day... so here are some pictures of ladies and their nylons. (And not much else in some cases.)

A Page Serenade on Cinco de Mayo!

 Anita Page is celebrating Cinco de Mayo by singing to the Moon Girls and Elmo Aardvark! (This is happens quite often when she's been chugging Coronas.)

Welcome to May!

The weather's getting better, so maybe it's time to follow in the footsteps of our forebearers... and head out into the forest with crates of booze and have "picnics" with our sweeties!

This illustration was originally an ad for Kupferberg Gold champagne that appeared in the German A&E magazine Jugend. It's another example of how they don't make 'em like they used to anymore!
