25 September has been designated “National One Hit Wonder Day,” a tribute to the artists and bands that made it into the Top 40 only once. Here’s a list.
Here’s one of my favorite One Hit Wonders. Too retro? Try this one.
Astounding: The real story behind The Sound of Music and The Von Trapp Family.
Interactive Street View map of 1850-2000 San Francisico has some cool photos of historic buildings and streetscapes [via].
A friend posted this elsewhere:
Found a cool website the other day. Shortwave radio stations from around the world. You can dial in the frequency you want on any of the radios. I found a station called UVB-76 otherwise known as “The Buzzer”. It sends out a buzz tone repeatedly 24/7. Once in a while numbers are spoken in Russian. It’s been broadcasting since 1982 and no one knows why. (frequency 4625 kHz)

Ted Hughes’ “How the Whale Became” is a children’s book I never read, but it was made into an opera, and the opera had an official trailer. [Top image from here. More info here.]

Almost Squeeky Clean Hot Links
Sunday, 18 September 2016
Van’s Shoes made them for Squeeky The Clown and others. Here’s a Short history of Clown Shoes.
This would have scared the H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks out of me at that age. I’m guessing Squeeky was a friend of the family.
Clown Shoes Beer. Barista Breakfast Brown Ale is now on my bucket list.
“Dude, your car is total clown shoes.”
Example of usage of the slang pejorative “Clown Shoes” via Urban Dictionary.
The Eight Commandments of Clowning.
Joseph “Joey” Grimaldi was possibly the most influential clown you never heard of.
Krinkles The Clown is just a tad bizarre [via].
Puddles Pity Party is awesome.
Then there’s Wavy Gravy. There’s a movie about him, too.

Un Champignon Heureux.
Thursday, 15 September 2016
Yeah, it’s an entirely bitchin’ tree fungus and it spins, but only very slowly. Don’t know what brand it is, but it’s on the north side of a tree somewhere in Cooper Mountain Nature Park, Beaverton Oregon.
WARNING:
Never eat this kind of found stuff unless you have a microscope and can positively identify the spores, and then don’t eat it anyway, even if you cook it. Some fungi can kill within an hour, others in painful hours or days, others do it silently without symptoms. You won’t know what happened until you wake up dead. [More here.]
