How to Speak Hip
Posted by Nostalgiaholic | on March 30, 2008
The now famous blog-linked, and stumbled-on digital recording of the LP “How to Speak Hip” is a must listen for “English-speaking people who want to talk to and be understood by Jazz musicians, hipster, beatniks, juvenile delinquents, and the criminal fringe.“
Let it play in the background at your next happening and everyone will get hung up on it !
Lost America
Posted by Nostalgiaholic | on March 28, 2008
Troy Paiva is a brilliant time-elapse photographer with a unique hobby. Since he was old enough to see over the dash, he’s been cruising down the back roads and trucking veins of the western United States late at night, looking for inspiration. Snapping mind-blowing portraits of ghost towns, abandoned roadside vehicles, and shadows of the past, he’s compiled an online gallery of pictures and stories that is haunting, nostalgic, and fascinating… Journey into Lost America, and be prepared for weird vibrations.
Happy Easter !
Posted by Nostalgiaholic | on March 23, 2008
It’s early. I’m up making eggs, drinking coffee, and watching It’s the Easter Beagle Charlie Brown (1974). I’m loving Woodstock’s little 1970s shaggin pad.
Ever since I can remember it was my Easter responsibility to get up before my parents and scatter Easter Beagle footprints around the kitchen. I’d lay out the dishes, straighten the silverware and thread the napkins through those napkin-holder-thingies. Once I could see sunlight peeking through the kitchen window, I’d hop back into bed and wait till everyone came downstairs and exclaimed “Who could have done all this?”
Only you and I know the truth… so don’t tell mom…
Mapping the Nostalgia-Cortex
Posted by Nostalgiaholic | on March 16, 2008
Ever Wonder why the smell of roasted turkey gives you the warm fuzzies ? Why you run for cover when someone walks by wearing your ex’s perfume ? Smell induced memory is one of the most powerful nostalgic reflexes, and the geniuses at the BBC have got a bloody good write up on it OVER HERE !!!
Retro Parking-Lot Blues
Posted by Nostalgiaholic | on March 10, 2008
It’s a wet, grey day and I’m stuck inside doing dishes and watching Night of the Living Dead (1968). At least I would be watching, but I can’t seem to tear my eyes off this really 1970s-esque mini-van down in the nearby parking lot. Have a look ! I’ll bet the interior is either sandy beige, or pea-green… Tres Nostalgic.
Visions Of Yesterday’s Tomorrow
Posted by Nostalgiaholic | on March 3, 2008
I just Stumbled upon Jason Bentley’s exhaustive post on Scribd.com featuring 100 Pulp Fiction Magazine Covers from the 40s, 50s and 60s. I can’t get enough of old Sci-Fi illustrations, and the camp-factor is high like Tommy Chong… and hit up this fantastic, yet slightly sideways Octopus Pulp Covers site too !
My fav line has to be “What evil secret made his death a living horror?” Freakin classic.
Nightmares on Wax

Prepare your mind for the ultimate thrift store experience !!!
The rabid dogs at BizarreRecords.com have picked apart the refuse heap of 1940s-70s record covers and dragged the silliest into the light for our enjoyment. The “Dorks” and “Preachers” sections are my favs !
Indiana Jones Returns
Posted by Nostalgiaholic | on February 14, 2008
First the Forbidden Kingdom, now this… Big Screen Nostalgia overload !!!
Steven Spielburg and a haggard-looking, but still badass Harrison Ford have returned after eons of other projects to breath life back into adventure movies !!! It’s been over 15 years since Indiana Jones took brains and bullwhip to Nazi backside, but in The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull (due out in May) Ford will prove that all you need to be a hero to millions is sarcasm, a worn fedora, and a John Williams score.
The Forbidden Kingdom !!!
Posted by Nostalgiaholic | on February 10, 2008
Fans of vintage Kung Fu films are collectively trembling with joy at the prospect of seeing chopsocky legends Jackie Chan and Jet Li go at it oldschool in The Forbidden Kingdom. The plot resembles The Karate Kid meets The Neverending Story
with a few roundhouse kicks thrown in for good measure. Check out the trailer HERE !!! The “How good is you’re Gong Fu ?” line is priceless…
