Second theme from an old soviet teenage flick. Fake live as you can see, but listen to the music. It’s a drummer Vladimir Vasilkov and his boys. Unreleased material from USSR, good done!
They made a great couple and a great song…
Original Soundtrack Composed by A.Gradsky, but this heavy funk instrumental theme performed by Ensemble “Melodia” (lead by George Garanian) featuring State Symphony Orchestra of USSR Cinematography. Great movie! Directed by Igor Petrov and Andrei Mikhalkov-Konchalovsky
This track is also sampled in “Wooden Heart” on the incredible David Holmes album “The free association”
A memory of the genius who passed away this year: on the origins of punk and artistic corporations.
From movie “No Leave No Love” 1946
Born Frank Robinson, 1940, Detroit, Michigan
The history of 20th century entertainment is littered with child prodigies; from Shirley Temple in the 1930s, Toni Harper in the 1940s and Frankie Lymon in the 1950s. On the whole, although precociously talented, child entertainers were usually saddled with inferior, childish material that, while perhaps cute at the time, were usually novelty acts that grew tiresome pretty quickly. Some couldn’t handle the swift drop in popularity and turned to drink or drugs, while others retired gracefully and concentrated their energies in other directions. One such was that tiny bundle of Detroit dynamite, “Sugar Chile” Robinson. Born Frankie Robinson, the youngest of six children, in Detroit in 1940, “Sugar Chile” began pounding on the family piano as a toddler – he reputedly banged out a recognisable version of Erskine Hawkins’ Tuxedo Junction at the age of two – and by 1945 he had been “discovered” by pianist and bandleader Frankie Carle.

The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa is without question one of the most beautiful cars ever built, and a 1957 model sold for a record-setting $12.1 million. One of only twenty-two of its kind, chassis no. 0714TR features a distinctive pontoon-like design by Carrozzeria Scaglietti. The Ferrari 250 TR is famous for having won ten of the nineteen races in which they were driven between 1958 and 1961.
This particular TR won 4th place when driven by Piero Drogo in the 1000 km Buenos Aires in January of 1958. Drogo drove it one more time, in the Grand Prix of Cuba, before he sold it to American Alan Connell who drove it in nine races and spent most of that time in 1st or 2nd place in class. It featured in twelve more races between 1960 and 1963, making it one of the most raced Ferraris of all time. It was sold at auction in Maranello, home of Carrozzeria Scaglietti and birthplace of the TR, for an impressive sum of €9,020,000.
