Those sure were fun times at Naomi’s Lounge. I think it was 1993 & 94?  It was like the early punkrock days in the late 70s when DJs started booking punk. Finally we had a club, & a scene coalesced. A loosely based cowpunk (or whatever you want to call it) scene thrived for awhile at Naomi's. The Swingin’ Cornflake Killers, Old 97s, Homer Henderson’s One Man Band, & more, adopted a dive bar with cheap beers on the outskirts of Deep Ellum & played for appreciative crowds on a regular basis. 
The groundwork had been laid at The Barley House, up on Henderson, in the years before. But the Barley was too nice inside & attracted too many yuppies & SMU types. But Richard Winfield tried his best, booking cool bands & even releasing a ‘Live At The Barley House’ CD. 
But at Naomi’s, in a dilapidated building on the edge of Deep Ellum on Canton Street, we found a home. I can still see the proprietor, ‘ol Carroll Collyer, wading through the crowd with his old tip-bucket announcing “Give it up, it’s Robert Tilton time. Y’all gotta come up with some money for these boys entertainin’ ya.”
But Carroll is long gone & so is Tom Battles, the Swingin' Cornflake Killers' guitarist, who put this flyer together. So RIP Carroll, Tom, Homer, & Naomi's Lounge. Thanks to Sean Bailey for sharing this image. This sure brought back great memories.

T. Tex Edwards is an unsung pioneer of cowpunk & honky tonk murder ballads who started out in the '70s with the punk band Nervebreakers. His first solo album (with Out on Parole backing) was a stroke of demented genius that caused a stir when released by cult label Sympathy for the Record Industry Records. Later records with The Loafin' Hyenas & a collection INTEXICATED followed. -- JT Lindroos 
   After playing around Austin for a few years, this version of Out On Parole went into Cris Burns' South Austin studio in 2011 & recorded a whole bunch of tunes that we had been playing live. Here are the first batch of eight. A second album from these sessions with even more songs with follow later on this year.

m,arkiplier once said… meme -- here
@frozenintimc​ asked: “ oh, i’m sorry! am i boring you?? ” for Lincoln from Edward
“You don’ wan’ an answer t’ tha’.” Tex rumbled, still reclining on the seat of his bike, sunglasses still covering his eyes and arms draped over his chest. He had been trying to nap, it was about another hour or so ‘til he was expected to call back to the club house anyways, and that old Scot was inside liable to be another hour anyways. 
That feeling of being glared at was enough to get him to lift one hand off his chest, sunglasses brought up enough to peek at Edward. The Biker rumbled again, dropping the shades back down in place and letting his arm settle back into place on his chest. “There a reason fer this conversa’ion? Or am I suppose t’ guess?”

T. Tex Edwards is a Texas treasure, and despite a few hiccups, "Intexicated" is an excellent introduction to his particular brand of genius. Sometimes still best-known for his stint in the Dallas-area punk band Nervebreakers who opened for Sex Pistols and backed Roky Erickson, Edwards nevertheless should be better known for his pioneering work in the cowpunk tradition.
His original contributions are limited, but they stand tall next to the classics he covers with gusto. Then again, how far would Cramps have gotten had they not mined obscure one-offs for blueprints of their kind of genius?
"Intexicated" is a rough and tumble collection of Edwards' lesser known recordings, culled from long lost 7" records, demo tapes and other assorted avenues. Less cohesive than his "Loafin' Hyenas" or "Pardon Me, I've Got Someone to Kill" albums, "Intexicated" is not by any means insubstantial. It's just messy. It includes songs (and I mean both covers and originals) that rival anything recorded in the cowpunk arena, and a few serious contenders in even the much larger Outlaw Country scene. Backed by a number of outfits in various guises and genres, nearly all of them consist of superbly talented musicians under names like Out On Parole, The Saddle Trams, Lithium X-Mas, The Swinging Cornflake Killers and Purple Stickpin (I can't say the same for 'Mechanical Bull' which, however, does what it needs to).
Just listen to the dynamic interplay of Out on Parole covering Leon Payne's "Psycho" back in 1984, or the Big D Ramblers with their "Intexicated!" bookenders. This is musicianship that's not just showing technical prowess; it's dynamic and it's organic, it's performed with flair, with a sense of joy, but always in tune with whoever is performing next to you, all together in service of the song.
The song selection is fine, including mostly unreleased songs or unheard versions of otherwise familiar cuts. Oddly enough, the sole cut from the Loafin' Hyenas album is the one that always bugged me in an otherwise impeccable record, "If Looks Could Kill (I'd Give You a Second Chance)." Then again, I always thought "Cities on Flame" and "Stairway to the Stars" were the only two mediocre songs on Blue Oyster Cult's eponymous album, so what do I know?
Furthermore, the singular cover selections ("Love Power" from Mel Brooks' Producers, Tex Ritter, Bill Haley and Alice Cooper among others) proceed in a somewhat scattershot order, but everything is funneled through an off-kilter filter that is T. Tex. Whether growling, crooning or doing the rockabilly hiccup, this is a fun collection of pure oddball country injected with a genuine shot of rock'n'roll mojo. Offbeat, yes, but consistently on the money, "Intexicated" is a great overview and a perfect introduction to one of the few true unsung pioneers of alternative country. - JT Lindroos

Tim Buckey - I Can't See You 
Happy Birthday to Timothy Charles Buckley III, born on February 14, 1947. "I Can't See You" is the first song off his first album from 1966. From this album sleeve, he may look like just some random folksinger. The latest in a never-ending line of folkies at the time. But from the first crashing notes it becomes evident that no, this isn't your average 1960s folkie. Yes, it's semi-electric folk, but there's also jazz, punk, & avant-garde  elements here, in a tenor singing (his high school friend) Larry Beckett's  beautiful poetic lyrics. And as he did for the rest of his life, Tim Buckley broke the rules. Leading off this, his very first Elektra Records release with not the most commercial radio-friendly tune of the collection, but the least. Here is a youtube of “I Can’t See You” here: https://youtu.be/xDeE7TtoF1Q
I first heard Buckley at 13 years old, early in 1968, when my local Dallas "underground rock" station KNUS, the first of it's kind in Big D on the FM side of the dial that played at least one album cut from almost every new LP release of the time, & practically none of the Top 40, that dominated AM radio back then. It was where I first heard The Velvet Underground, The Jeff Beck Group, The Red Crayola, Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera, Condello, The Ill Wind, & on & on. I'd save up my lunch money allowance all week, & on the weekend head over to Preston Record Center & pick out an album by the coverart & what I'd heard on KNUS radio. One week they were playing Tim Buckley's long epic, "Goodbye & Hello", the title song from his more psychedelic second album. So that was what I picked out to purchase with my hard-hoarded cash & was introduced to the varied music of Tim. For some reason I never went back to this first album until much later in the 1970s. Maybe it was that folksinger cover. After the obviously drug-induced cover photos of "Happy Sad" & the likes, that first album coverart never struck my fancy until I later realized just how brilliant & different Tim Buckley was. But once I finally did investigate further, Wow!
But on to my own musical career. When I was finally putting together my last & possibly final musical project in 2017, my damaged hearing required a lower volume, different approach that started out as just a trio with my pals Eric Hisaw & Dan Hoekstra on guitars, & turned into a combo simply called The T. Tex Edwards Group, when we later added JJ Barrera on bass & Shawn Peters on drums. It had started out as a songwriting project with Hisaw. After years of mainly playing covers of semi-obscure 60s Brit & off-kilter C&W nuggets, I wanted to see if I could still write some meaningful songs like I had years ago with Mike Haskins in The Nervebreakers & Click Mort in The Loafin' Hyenas. I had started writing things down during a month-long rehab torture at Austin Recovery, & upon my release, contacted Eric about possibly getting together & putting some music to my scribblings. We cranked out a few songs & added a Tim Harden tune, a Bob Dylan song, along with some reworkings of some of my earlier Nervebreakers & Loafin' Hyenas originals. Plus this song from Tim Buckley, that I absolutely fell in love with upon my first listening all those years ago. When we later recorded our batch of originals, this song, (along with Gary Stewart's "Single Again"), were the only two cover songs that we recorded at those sessions. Hopefully sometime soon, those recordings will see the light of day...

148. the coo-coo nut grove (1936)
release date: november 28th, 1936
series: merrie melodies
director: friz freleng
starring: peter lind hayes (ben birdie), bernice hansell (dionne quintuplets), tedd pierce (w.c. squeals), danny webb (walter windpipe), the rhythmettes, verna dean (additional voices)
Tumblr media
the cartoon that caused katherine hepburn to watch it 4 times and clark gable twice. an amalgamation of celebrity caricatures, designs courtesy of the great t. hee. see laurel and hardy share a drink, clark gable flap his ears to the beat of edna may oliver’s dancing, w.c. fields (squeals) flirt with katherine heartburn hepburn, and so on.
Tumblr media
a parody of the famed hollywood nightclub the cocoanut grove, we open to a beautiful overlayed pan of the coo-coo nut grove, a nightclub literally nestled in a cluster of coconut trees. the backgrounds are wonderfully stylistic and sharp—not quite art deco, but the same “newness” that page miss glory exuded so well. a zoom in reveals that the red blinking neon light advertising the nightclub is lit up by fireflies, an oldie but goodie.
Tumblr media
arriving to the nightclub itself, we iris in on ben birdie, a caricature of radio personality ben bernie. while he’s giving his trademark catchphrases such as “yowza!”, a mouse caricature of journalist walter winchell pops out of a tuba, holding out a scallion for birdie. “flash! an orchid for you, old mousetrap, from your old pal walter windpipe!” birdie takes care of the pest by blowing into the mouthpiece of the tuba, propelling windpipe across the nightclub. bernie and winchell had a good relationship off the set, but assumed the rules of enemies on bernie’s show. side note, danny webb voices the winchell mouse—he’d go on to provide some background voices for a few 30s shorts, as well as voicing egghead (actually egghead, not elmer!) in daffy duck and egghead.
Tumblr media
while birdie comments that it’s an ill wind, an ill wind, yowza, we get a good look of the patrons in the crowd. comedian hugh hubert is the first celebrity, who giggles and claps, bashfully averting his gaze. as a daffy duck aficionado, i owe a lot to hubert—he’s the one they voiced daffy’s trademark laugh after. thanks, hugh! the table next to him features w.c. squeals and katherine “heartburn” (an obvious play on hepburn.) squeals admires what a beautiful hand she has, promoting her to repeat the boulevardier from the bronx cackle bashfully before glaring at him in disgust. the laugh is more fitting as a horse, for sure! hepburn would be subject to MANY, MANY references in looney tunes shorts, primarily by tex avery. every time you hear a woman say something like “really it is,” that’s a hepburn impression.
Tumblr media
next table over features a crotchety ned sparks, groveling “i go everywhere, i do everything, and i never have any fun.” sparks’ shtick was always playing a miserable, deadpan character. pan up to the coconut treetops (these backgrounds are absolutely gorgeous), where johnny weissmuller is pouring his wife and vedette lupe vélez a glass of wine. i love the bow tie tacked on to his tarzan garb, wonderfully tacky. instead of offering the glass, weissmuller downs it all in one go, beating his chest and doing the tarzan yell that buddy did in buddy of the apes. how i don’t miss you! i’m sure it’s implied, but weissmuller was the original tarzan. even more interesting, he was a gold medal olympic swimmer back in the 20s.
ben birdie introduces “the profile of profiling”, and thus sparks this lovely gag of john barrymore walking through the nightclub, his head at profile. no matter which way his body turns, his head is always at profile. eventually, his head is turned 180 degrees backwards as he sits down at a table. if you look him up, you’ll find that many of his headshots are profiles.
elsewhere, we spot a panicked woman running from some unknown threat. her face is concealed, so we’re unaware as to what caricature she is, but we DO know her pursuer: a bird caricature of harpo marx, galloping behind her and honking a horn. his hat opens to reveal an extending stop sign, and harpo pretends to pull the brakes. the sign switches to go, and harpo shifts back into gear, resuming his galloping routine. the animation is flighty, loose, hilarious, and ridiculous.
back to ben birdie, who moves things along. “and now, let us indulge to a bit of the light fantastic, etcetera, etcetera.” almost immediately, a crowd of couples get up to dance. it seems to me that the animation was reused from another freleng cartoon, i’m a big shot now. cut to another couple in particular, a turtle george arliss and bird mae west. a great pair, seeing as mae west was essentially a sex symbol, and george arliss was much older, being 68 as of 1936. very smooth and fun animation, topped off with west affirming “keep up the good work.”
another warner bros favorite to caricature—laurel and hardy. if my memory serves me correctly, this is the first time we see hardy caricatured as a pig. in many a cartoon, he’d be portrayed as such, often mimicked by porky. these include (but are not limited to) the case of the stuttering pig, you ought to be in pictures (a freleng classic), and the timid toreador. hardy grabs a coconut and signals for laurel to share. they both put their straws in the coconut and drink, and essentially swap themselves. hardy substantially loses weight and turns into laurel, whereas laurel gains substantial weight and turns into hardy. very clever.
Tumblr media
the next act features edna may oliver, who does an elaborate dance routine to “the lady in red”. clark gable in the audience is particularly entranced, flapping his ears to the music (another gable caricature staple.) leon schlesinger himself said after the cartoon’s release, “gable [came to see the film] at least twice, mesmerized by the rhythmic waving of his own ears. that ought to answer any questions about can hollywood stars take it.” schlesinger kept close tabs on who came to see his films, which only makes sense: he worked at chicago’s colonial theater in 1908, keeping an autograph book of all the stars who would happen to visit. during oliver’s dance number, a lanky, rubber hose limbed gary cooper struts through the nightclub, doing his walk that he would feature in many of his cartoons. a trio of monkeys observe from the treetops, one of them declaring “he’s pixilated!”
Tumblr media
next dance number is none other than the dionne quintuplets, voiced by (who else?) berneice hansell, singing a medley of “our old man” and “what’s the matter with father”. hansell’s voice talents are lovely and hilarious as always, and there’s a great little dance interlude as the quints turn around and tap their feet with their butts in the air. just in case you forgot they were babies! by this time, the quintuplets, only 2 years old, already had a movie made about them in early 1936 called “the country doctor”.
back to johnny weissmuller and lupe vélez, who are applauding the act from the treetops. a great scene as weissmuller spots a mouse skittering right by their table and shrieks. the great, mighty tarzan faints at the sight, and vélez instead does her own tarzan cry, grabbing her cowardly husband and swinging across a vine as the mouse skitters under the table.
Tumblr media
back to the mysterious running woman pursued by harpo marx. harpo tackles her, and the woman finally reveals herself to be none other than groucho marx! this gag would be much more notably reused in tex avery’s *hollywood steps out, with clark gable pursuing groucho instead of harpo. i like the inclusion of harpo, it makes the reveal all the more disturbing. harpo, appalled, dashes out of the nightclub while groucho grins.
Tumblr media
the next scene is a more somber mood. teardrops rain on the grass, and a slow pan reveals a tearful helen morgan singing “the little things you used to do”, perched on a piano and wringing a handkerchief. the animation is quite good, with lots subtle head tilts. wallace beery is particularly moved by the music. so moved, in fact, that he grabs a nearby banana hanging from a bunch, squirts out a line on a butter knife like a line of toothpaste, and shoves the knife in his mouth to cope with his heart strings being pulled. harpo marx is also moved, using a windshield wiper from his multipurpose hat to wipe away his tears. edward g. robinson and george raft aren’t particularly moved, chuffing on a cigar and flipping a coin respectively. that is, until, they both break down in sobs and embrace each other—a great mood change and great way to totally shatter the “tough guy” act. i believe raft was also caricatured in ali-baba bound as flipping a coin with his foot (eugh).
Tumblr media
now, the nightclub is totally afloat, caricatures sitting on their tables as the ground is submerged in tears. slowly, the tables begin to drift away in the current, with the george arliss turtle rowing along, using his shell as a boat. and with that, ben birdie signs off.
while this cartoon is dated, sure, i think it’s a cartoon you can enjoy, regardless if you understand the references or not. i certainly didn’t know a good 35% of the caricatures, and had to look them up. but i truly believe that’s part of the fun of it though, and that’s why i love these caricature-centric shorts. you get to explore and really get hands on, you get to research, you get to learn something new. i sure didn’t know that george arliss was born in 1868, and i find that fascinating! i didn’t know that ben bernie and walter winchell played enemies on bernie’s show, but now i do. it’s fascinating! and that’s in part why i love doing these reviews. no matter what, there is always something new to learn. and besides, if anything, you can laugh and admire how the caricatures are drawn, and the backgrounds are just superb. this is definitely a visual centric cartoon, and it constitutes a watch for that alone. i prefer hollywood steps out myself, but this is a good entry, especially for 1936. i say go for it!

eBay Roundup
We spend hours trawling for the best of menswear on eBay so that you don’t have to. To get a third eBay roundup each week, along with a list of the best sales, subscribe to our exclusive Inside Track newsletter. It only costs $5 a month. The savings you’d earn from just one eBay purchase a year will offset the subscription. 
Today’s roundup has a ton of great footwear finds, including everything from shell cordovan penny loafers to suede side-zip boots. Also some gorgeous lighters and, um, an Oscar Meyer money clip at the end for those who want to be fancy. 
If you’d like to dig up more menswear gems, try using our customized eBay search links. We’ve made them so you can quickly hone-in on high-end suits, good suits, high-quality shirts and fine footwear.
