| MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS RETRO GIFTS 1960'S DOLLS Posted: 27 Nov 2010 08:35 PM PST  Liddle Kiddles! Here are one of my first collection obsessions! Liddle Kiddles These were the coolest tiny dolls that came in bottles, necklaces, cars and eggs. They had very cute faces with bright eyes. Just loved them. They still sell tons of these on Ebay.  Greta Grape! Liddle Kiddles were introduced by Mattel in 1966. They were tiny dolls, ranging from 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches tall, with pose-able limbs and rooted hair.  Liddle Kiddle Collectible Doll Sets Here are the different groups and the names of the dolls in each. Links go to individual pages with more info about each series / doll. Storybook Kiddles 1967 - 1968 Produced in 1967 and 1968, here were seven storybook kiddles in all. They were all 3 1/2" tall. They all came with adorable props. I had alot of Kiddles as my Mom loved them too. My favorites though were the Storybook Kiddles and the Kola Kiddles. They had really clever cute names too. They should bring them back as demand for them has never waned. Storybook Kiddles Alice Wonderliddle 1968 Cinderiddle - Poor & Rich 1968 Liddle Biddle Peep 1968 Liddle Middle Muffet 1967-68 Liddle Red Riding Hiddle 1967-68 Peter Paniddle 1968 Sleeping Biddle 1968  Tressy's Hair Grows Ad The trademark name "Tressy" was first used for a very successful doll with "hair that grows" that was manufactured and sold by the American Character Doll Co. from 1963 to 1965. The American Character Tressy was sold as a 11½" fashion doll similar to Mattel's Barbie. The doll was originally invented and patented by modern furniture designer Jesse Dean and his wife, Diana. Tressy was an awesome doll! The first doll that grew hair. We all wanted a Tressy doll! Tressy had a button on her back and if you pulled her hair while pushing the button her hair would get longer.  Tressy gave Barbie some competition for 3 years These dolls are very rare probably because they had millions of little girls yanking their hair! They weren't made quite as sturdy as Barbie so they just did make the test of time. Every now and then though I see one up on Ebay. Just looked and hey they have a bunch up there!   |
| DENIZ TEK AND RADIO BIRDMAN LIVE IN TEXAS! Posted: 27 Nov 2010 07:19 PM PST  Radio Birdman Reunion Tour Radio Birdman's new release, Live In Texas (Order Form), was recorded during the North American phase of the band's last world tour in June 2007. The recording is sure to be of great interest to fans as it will provide a unique glimpse into this iconic band's intense final incarnation.  The sound is stripped down and raw, bringing a return to the band's basic twin guitar attack. The line-up features original members Deniz Tek (guitar), Rob Younger (vocals) and Chris Masuak (guitar), along with long standing member Jim Dickson (bass) and drummer Russell Hopkinson. The idea to record was initiated by the staff of Houston's Radio KPFT 90.1 FM with the intention of having a quality 'live' broadcast of the band's two Texas shows, legendary Emo's in Austin and The Meridian in Houston, available for broadcast on their regular Radio Sessions At Sugar Hill show. The ensuing care taken in the mixing at Sugar Hill finds Live In Texas sounding clear and powerful with a loose and ragged edge of a band playing with furious intensity and driving song tempos hard and fast.  Deniz Tek The set features a balance of new and old, with songs drawn from each prior stage of the band's tumultuous existence. New cover versions appearing here include The Who's Circles, The Kinks' Til the End of the Day and the set closer, Blue Oyster Cult's Hot Rails to Hell. As a bonus the sleeve art and booklet features spectacular unreleased live photos. Fans can also look forward to next year's ultimate reissues of the band's 70's albums. Included in these reissues will be recent mixes from original master tapes of 20 plus studio out-takes as well as a superlative 70 minutes of their historic December 1977 Paddington Town Hall concert. All tracks are previously unreleased. It is expected the music will be accompanied by a DVD of vintage footage and initially come packaged as a limited edition box set. Track Listing: (48:14 m:s) 1. Murder City Nights (Tek) 2. We've Come So Far, To Be Here Today (Younger/Tek) 3. You Just Make It Worse (Younger/Dickson/Tek) 4. Anglo Girl Desire (Tek) 5. What Gives? (Gilbert/Tek) 6. Circles (Townsend) 7. Burned My Eye (Tek) 8. Subterfuge (Younger/Tek) 9. Die Like April (Tek) 10. Smith and Wesson Blues (Tek) 11. More Fun (Tek) 12. Til The End Of The Day (Davies) 13. Hand Of Law (Tek) 14. Locked Up (Tek) 15. I-94 (Tek) 16. Hot Rails To Hell (Bouchard)  |

| THE ROCKETS LAUNCH TONIGHT AT THE FILLMORE Posted: 27 Nov 2010 10:58 AM PST  Jim McCarty and Jim Edwards having a little fun... (c) Dan Sultana  THE ROCKETS ON FACEBOOK Get Your Tickets HERE Directions to the Show HERE From The Oakland Press Gary Graff: The Rockets have taken off again — and as far as front man Jim Edwards is concerned, the sky is the limit for the current edition of the band. Formed as the Helldrivers but changed back to the Rockets name earlier this year, the group — which includes Rockets founders (and original members of the Detroit Wheels) Jim McCarty on guitar and Johnny "Bee" Badanjek on drums — have played a couple of high-profile shows at this year's Stars & Stripes festival in Mount Clemens and opening for the J. Geils Band at the DTE Energy Music Theatre. It took awhile to get McCarty and Badanjek on board for the name change, but now the quintet is seeing the wisdom of its decision.  My autographed cd "When we did a few Rockets songs as the Helldrivers, I noticed those songs had more of an impact on the audience than anything else we did," says Edwards, whose performance has even been praised by the family of the late Rockets singer Dave Gilbert. "People would cheer louder, their grins were larger, everyone was having a good time. And we kept getting more requests to do more (Rockets) songs. "So now, as the Rockets, the show has a lot more continuity and flow. It's a lot more exciting. You don't have to explain to people why you're doing a cover song by some obscure Detroit band. It's all yours." The Rockets, Salem Witchcraft and Black Irish Saturday, Nov. 27, Fillmore Detroit, 2115 Woodward Ave. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15. 313-961-5450 Read More on RK JOHNNY BEE BADANJEK: THE ROCKETS OPEN FOR J GEILS THE ROCKETS' LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD!
