Organic Nape Ink Jawa Guard
I like this photo for its random mystical uncontrolled spontaneity. It’s like a ballpoint pen Ouija Board. She also appears to be protecting a Jawa.

Robert H. Keaton’s Contribution To The World: The Music Typing Machine
It’s an interesting arrangement that gives the Keaton Music Typewriter its distinctive look. In terms of engineering, thanks to a curved meter on the left that Keaton called the Scale Shift Handle and Scale Shift Indicator, it’s easy to control exactly where the notes and characters fall on the page. By moving the handle up or down a notch, the typewriter adjusts to print 1/24 inch in either direction. Moving one notch up or down will cause the character to fall one musical step either way.
It appears that the typed sheet music in the museum display (the 2nd image) is turned 90 degrees from the way the machine types, or perhaps it’s a different model.

Awesome. Honda airbags were recalled a few years ago and now the replacement airbags have been recalled also.

Saturday Matinee – Birdie Num Num, Death Pop, Favela Brass, The Fabulous Thunderbirds and Jimmie Vaughan
A scene from The Party, a 1968 cult movie starring Peter Sellers.
I’m at a loss. Annoying death metal band lip-synchs to annoying pop band.
Favela means “slum” or “shantytown” in Portuguese. Awesome happens about 0:40 in. More here.
The Fabulous Thunderbirds were (and are) entirely awesome. Great lineup, including Jimmie Vaughan.
Yeah. Wait. That.
Have a great weekend, folks. Might have to go dark next week due to unfortunate family business, but don’t worry. We’ll be back soon enough.
