In early 1973, Capitol Records embarked on a Raspberries promotional campaign aimed squarely at the lucrative youth market, girls in particular. In conjunction with Star, the Raspberries Rollswagen sweepstakes was announced in the magazine's debut issue and was promoted through its fourth issue with entries accepted through the end of May.
Teena Bouington won.

George Harrison, 1969; photo by Harry Goodwin (presumably).
In 1969, George named his three Desert Island Discs; and, as it happens, in the 1970s, several people named some of George’s songs as one of their Desert Island Discs.
George’s 1969 choices were:
“Let’s see, Ravi Shankar playing Raga Drbari Kanada [listen here]… and I’d like to have Sathya Sai Baba singing devotional songs. And what else? Maybe Blonde On Blonde [the full album playlist on YouTube].”
Here are Harrisongs chosen by others, including George’s friends Eric Idle, Ravi Shankar, and Barry Sheene:
Barry Sheene - “Crackerbox Palace” (broadcast October 1977) [episode]
Eric Idle - “Dear One” (broadcast November 1976) [episode]
Jimmy Tarbuck - “My Sweet Lord” (broadcast August 1972) [episode]
Ravi Shankar - “My Sweet Lord” (broadcast February 1971) [episode]
Laurie Lee - “Isn’t It A Pity” (broadcast January 1971) [episode]
Melvyn Bragg - “My Sweet Lord” (broadcast August 1976) [episode] (x)

Tonight’s random vinyl shelf pull…
The Rutles “The Rutles” 1978
Excellent tunes by Dirk, Nasty, Stig, and Barry! The Prefab-four!
Top flight Beatles parody musically and film wise. The brain child of Eric Idle and Neil Innes. Do yourself a favor and search out the film “All You Need Is Cash”!
And one of my all time favorite songs (seriously)…
Oh look! The whole movie is on YouTube! Watch for the George Harrison cameo!

Welcome to the DC Comics JewShowdown!
In which 32 Jewish DC characters (the ones who matter) will battle it out in a who-can-eat-the-most-maror-without-water competition. Or just vote for your favorite ig
(Don't try to zoom in on this thing, I'll be listing off the contestants here, the quality in this is awful, and I stretched the pics out so far to fit the frame so they're plain ugly)
I'll be starting off with 16 matches (Oh fuck) and progress from there. Here are the starting matches:
Albert Rothstein Vs. Alice Cohen II
Barbara Gordon/Batgirl (DC Super Hero Girls TV Series) Vs. Barry Allen (DCEU)
Benjamin Gruener/Reaper I Vs. Bruce Wayne
Cissie King-Jones/Arrowette (formerly) Vs. Michael Schorr
Dan Dreiberg/Nite Owl (Watchmen) Vs. Wesley Dodds/Sandman I
Beth Kane/Alice Vs. Eric Cohen
Eric Strauss Vs. Frieda Goren
Gim Allon Vs. Booster Gold/Michael Carter (ignore my typo in the image)
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) Vs. Jesus of Nazareth (New Earth)
Harleen Quinzel Vs. Jonathan Osterman (Watchmen)
Katherine Kane Vs. Morris Edelstein/Morgan Edge (Earth-One)
Miriam Bätzel/Miri Marvel (DC Bombshells) Vs. Moyshe Nakhman
Myndi Mayer Vs. Nyssa Raatko
Rachel Goldman/Sublime (Wildstorm) Vs. Rory Regan
Sebastian Ives Vs. Ursula Zandt (Watchmen)
Willow Zimmerman Vs. Zatanna Zatara (DC Bombshells)
This will be split into 4 rounds each divided in two (hence the two sides), and a final round. there's gonna be a day to vote for each poll, and you can find all of them in the #DC Jewish tournament tag. Starting with Round 1A, the first 8 matches I'll post all in one batch, and so on (I think it'll be clearer once I post them) I. I'll post the entirety of round 1A once this post reaches 10 notes bc I'm anxious and I need to know there is an audience, and 10 notes in enough for me. I'll post round 1B once the voting for round 1A will be closed, and do the same for the rest.
some explanations for some characters that might not seem like they fit here: All but three characters here were listed as Jews (I am Jewish, I can say that) in the DC Database category page and I've made sure there's a source to that (DCEU Barry calling himself a Jewish Boy, DC Superhero Girls Babs being in a Happy Hanukka post from the show's account, etc). The three characters that weren't are Bruce Wayne (Jewish by association with Kate Kane bc her writers don't know how Judaism works and once made her dad Jewish which would make his sister, Bruce's mom Jewish and make him Jewish), Booster Gold (confirmed to be Jewish by Jeff Katz, a Booster Gold writer, on Twitter) and Cissie King-Jones (I decided she's Jewish, and it's my poll, so shut up), and I have explanations for them all.
Enjoy!

Why Do We Love…
Charlotte Martin
Our series "Why Do We Love..." published on each muse's birthday are getting to an end, and French former model and artist Charlotte Martin is next!
[Charlotte Martin in 1967 by Robert Whittaker. Sent to us by lovely Kana from Japan for our Family Zepp site, remember?]
We first new about Charlotte when one of us created a website called Family Zepp on piczo back in the day, remember that? We were teenagers and we loved Led Zeppelin, but unlike The Beatles, there weren't any sites for the girls or the children, so one of us started and we became familiar with the names of Maureen and Carmen Plant, Sabel Starr, Lori Mattix ... and Charlotte!
[Charlotte in 1969 by Barry Lategan]
Truth to be told, we had to do a real detective job with Charlotte, because it was said that she was a 1960s supermodel, but unlike Pattie Boyd, we couldn't find anything! And, like her, she had a relationship with Eric Clapton, before having one with Jimmy Page.
[Charlotte and Eric in 1967, by Robert Whittaker]
We also learnt that she had a short relationship with Beatle George Harrison, but never was included anywhere as a "Beatlegirl". Little by little we found (sometimes with a little help from our friends) more and more Charlotte information and photos, including modelling pics, but in every pic she looked different, so we weren't sure if it was her or not!
[For years these were the only Charlotte pics on the net we could find, early 1970s, late 1970s and 1980s...]
Little by little we learned she was on The Beatles "All You Need is Love" video or in Led Zeppelin's "The Song Remains the Same" film, so we took screencaps of her, to build our collection for the Family Zepp website!
[Left, 1967 "All you need is Love", sitting between Paul McCartney -not shown- and John Lennon. Right, with her baby daughter Scarlet Page in a cameo in "The Song Remains the Same". Our caps]
But we think most of the photos we found came after, maybe thanks to tumblr and later (recently) instagram. We found amazing blogs like Liz Eggleston/Miss Peelpants who find the greatest and rarest Charlotte pics and share them with us all. So we could see Charlotte's beauty and talent once and for all!
[Three of the numerous of modelling Charlotte scans that Liz Eggleston/Miss Peelpants shares in her blog, go and follow her!]
[One of the typical images of Charlotte... thanks to tumblr and instagram we could find out the date and occasion! The 1967 Legalize Cannabis Rally at London's Speaker's Corner]
[Left, another Beatles' connection! Modelling The Fool for The Apple boutique in 1968. Right, Charlotte shared her 1969 modelling image on her instagram]
We respect Charlotte for never selling her stories of the times she spent with The Beatles, Eric, Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin... even if we'd like to know all the details!
[Charlotte, Jimmy, and their daughter, photographer Scarlet, in a Scarlet photography exhibition in 2007. Charlotte is in good terms with both Eric and Jimmy.]
Nowadays she is a very successful artist and painter, and you can see her creating her work on her website or the numerous exhibits she's done.
[Charlotte in 2017 with one of her paintings, from her website]
Today, for her 75th birthday, we wanted to share with all of you, dear followers, how we knew about Charlotte and what made us love her.
Here we share:
OUR BIOGRAPHY OF HER, WITH LINKS TO AMAZING SITES
HER POSTS IN OUR BLOG
OUR PHOTO COLLECTION HOSTED AT GOOGLE PHOTOS (all the photos have been collected from the net, photographers, details, websites etc are credited when known)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR BEAUTIFUL ARTIST
