Ms. Swanky wondered how Capote got a car out in the plains as we watched &#8220;Capote&#8221; the other night. This commercial is likely around 1966 by the convertible in it, which you can&#8217;t see. Anyone know when car rental started?<\/p>\n<p>Next is a <a title=\"Wide Track Town\" href=\"http:\/\/rapidshare.de\/files\/23977954\/Pontiaca.mp3.html\" target=\"_blank\">vintage radio spot for Pontiac by CRC<\/a>. <a title=\"CRC\" href=\"http:\/\/www.jingles.org\/CRC.htm\" target=\"_blank\">CRC<\/a> was the top jingle makers of the time. I have one of their LPs and just love it.<\/p>\n<p>Now a blast from the past that some will recall, <a title=\"Welcome Back to the Drive In\" href=\"http:\/\/rapidshare.de\/files\/23979242\/Welcome_Back_.mp3.html\" target=\"_blank\">a classic Drive-In movie clip<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Frequent Grogalizer user Johntiki\u00c2\u00a0sent this to me. I hope it&#8217;s okay to share. It&#8217;s <a title=\"Awaawaukelele\" href=\"http:\/\/rapidshare.de\/files\/23978857\/Awaawaukelele.mp3.html\" target=\"_blank\">a 7-11 commercial for Awaawaukelele<\/a> which was an island flavor. It&#8217;s preety cute and funny, and then, the ending is just great. Genius!<\/p>\n<p>And, I guess I should share a real song. I put my DJ CD of Lalo Schiffrin into the car player the other day and it completely transformed the ride home from work. I love soundtrack music and Lalo was the king of detective movies in the 70s. Steve McQueen is <em>the <\/em>star for Lalo&#8217;s music. This track is <a title=\"Shifting Gears - Lalo Schifrin\" href=\"http:\/\/rapidshare.de\/files\/23980151\/09._Shifting_Gears.mp3.html\" target=\"_blank\">Shifting Gears from Bullitt.<\/a> The version on the soundtrack does not have the sound effects in it at the end that I love. I can&#8217;t find the sound effects version.\u00c2\u00a0But, put this on and drive around town and you feel like you are tailing someone and any moment a chase will begin or a car will pull up next to you and there will be a shotgun coming out the window. It&#8217;s a fun sensation.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy. I&#8217;m off to dig in the yard for the weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought I&#8217;d share a few sound bites today.
