Last Christmas I recieved a copy of an old Tiki album from my son who found it in a thrift store here in North California. I thought it was cool at the time. I kept looking at it though. I seemed really familiar. I looked through the Book of Tiki,(all bow heads), and found the same album on Pg45. It still has the Burlap swatch. Cool eh? What a great Christmas gift. What a great son. |

SPECIAL DAY AND TIME! "A Thrifting for Tunes Special" Amidst the hype and hoopla surrounding the arrival of the remastered Beatles catalog, feisty independent radio station Luxuria Music (www.luxuriamusic.com) has set Oct. 9, 2009 for its annual Beatles Day marathon—during which no Beatles recordings will be played. Instead, Luxuria’s DJs will celebrate the Beatles by exclusively spinning cover versions of Beatles songs, Beatles novelty and tribute recordings, and all manner of Beatles-related audio. And don't worry, spinning around among all the weird Beatles covers will be a little bit of Beatles exotica on Thrifting for Tunes...

John, the Luxuria website was down for a while. I was unable to get the Luxuria podcast of your show while it was down. It is back now. However, the podcast link I had no longer works. The link on your website doesn't work either. Please post a link that we can all use, if you would. Love the show and have been missing it. |
