  1. Here's a couple of signs from near the start of 'Return of the Ridge Raiders' in season 2.

    These were not such politically correct times. I wonder how long a poster like this would last today. I originally started this one ages ago, but couldn't find fonts that looked anything like these. In the end I did the whole lot from scratch. I wish they hadn't hand-drawn most of the signage on Dukes - it would make my job a lot easier :).

  2. I posted the news of Red Bull pulling out of NASCAR in the news thread back in June. I haven't been watching NASCAR long enough to have an opinion on Kahne moving teams, but I do find it interesting that Red Bull are pulling out. The won both the drivers' and constructors' trophies in last year's Formula 1 championship, and look set to do the same again this year. Obviously NASCAR just didn't work out for them.

  3. This lady isn't painted :)

    This song was written for, and featured in

    a couple of years ago. The picture of Eva Longoria (I hear she's in a popular TV show) is because she appeared in another commercial for a similar product (from the same company) around the same time. The similarity between this song and

    has been much commented upon.

    The worrying thing about my last post is that YouTube offered me a version by the cast of Glee - is nothing safe :).

  4. I watched about the last 75 laps, and not much happened. JG was leading when I tuned in, but slipped back to about 10th because they had to restart his car at the pit stop. He made it up to 3rd, and less than a second behind the leader, before dropping back to save fuel. Meanwhile, Clint Bowyer took the lead for a while, but ran out of fuel with 3 laps to go, leaving an easy win for Smoke.

  5. I'll take it back a decade ...

    Apparently this version, that was a hit in the UK, didn't chart in the US. The

    was by The Drifters, and I see that Tony Orlando also covered it in his brief solo career (although I can't find a video of that one).
  6. You've set the mood now Brian. From the same era:

    Check out the great suits in the video. It's interesting looking at the cross-Atlantic time delay back in the '70s. The Tony Orlando & Dawn song charted in the US in '73, but '74 in the UK. Conversely, this song charted in '74 in the UK and '75 in the US.

  7. ... they even LOOK like the early Rolling Stones! LOL

    They do on the video, they didn't on the album cover:

    It's a fun album. I'm glad I bought it in 1992 because I haven't seen it since.

    I'll continue with some more '80s pop:

    This was from about seven years before they bored everyone senseless by spending 15 weeks at #1 in the UK charts with their cover of 'Love is All Around' from the soundtrack to the 1994 film 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'.

    (was it a Renault commerical? Saw a comment on another YT vid about Claudia Shieffer and Renault LOL)

    I've looked into it - the commercial did star Claudia Schiffer, but it was for a different French car maker; Citroën. Here is that commercial for the Citroën Xsara Coupé:

    The album I have it on is this one. It has some great tracks on it including

    (listed as 'Boss Hogg' on the album).

  9. I knew somebody would pull that one out sooner or later! Fortunately it wasn't me. :D

    Tell me you've never had a few beers and found yourself singing along to Neil Diamond and I'll take your derision like a man ;).

    This song was released in 1992, but the album was recorded in mono. It could almost be a lost early Rolling Stones session.
