Panda Party! Play music! Hourly themes! Good times on a Friday!  If you haven't joined the fun, you don't know what you're  missing. So come join the Panda Party. If you don't know what Turntable is, here's an excellent FAQ

I have an unbelievable time such of  a website called Retronaut. They just collect photos and videos of historically interesting stuff and commentary on it.  Totally fucking addictive.  This picture is from a collection they got from a guy who saw Iggy and the Stooges play a high school in 1970. 

Seriously, that must have been mind-blowing.  I'm so jealous.  I love the variety of expressions on kids' faces.  Some are like, "WTF" and some are like, "I'm so cool that I totally am not surprised by this."  

The site has a lot more than that.  There's WWII stuff, classic bits of New York living, and a little bit of physics. When the current ugliness and meanness of our political climate gets me down, I find that going to this site functions as a great reminder that people can actually be pretty awesome.

We try also to capture some of that awesomeness in the Panda Party, so hop on over!
