The South Philly Boys

What's up y'all. Been gone awhile, I know. Started a new job and working 14+ hours a day is not exactly conducive to writing a goddamn blog for your fucking amusement - thank you very much.

But I still love you and if at times I seem mean or neglectful it's just because daddy's tired from working so hard to put food on the table and sometimes daddy's boss is mean to him and he needs to drink some of daddy's special medicine when he gets home and if he calls you bad words he really doesn't mean it because he really loves you very much and none of those bad words mean anything because daddy's just tired and just wants to sit down and watch some TV and if you just leave daddy alone for the rest of the night everything will be okay.

I promise.

Anyway....

In case you haven't figured it out by now, I've got a real hard-on for all things retro. The cars, the clothes, the music. I love bowling shirts, kitchy decoration, pin-ups, rockabilly, doo-wop, chicks with Bettie Page haircuts....

...especially chicks with Bettie Page haircuts....

...and finding shit like this online.

I know nothing about these cats - the video has no comments and looks like it was made in the days of VHS - but wherever the "South Philly Boys" are today, I salute them.

At one time they sounded GREAT, and if this was 1961 I am positive we'd be standing in line to see 'em.

Dig it.
