The Wunderkammer of the Mild Colonial Boy, Esq., a Reactionary Tory Gentleman, who armed only with a Steampowered Babbage Engine and Pure Intentions, wanders the Time Streams and Aetheric Plane gathering an Eccentric Hodgepodge of Curiousities, Frivolities, Whimsicalities and Nonsense.

Q. Why is your Tumblelog called "My Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning"?

A. Because "My Grandmother's Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning" wouldn't fit in the available space.

One of my favorite track

criminous: Vintage Crime Recommendation: The Short Stories of Father Brown, by G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936). Based on the Catholic priest who ultimately convinced Chesterton to convert in 1922, these stories feature the intuitive, stocky and unassuming Father Brown, a priest with insight into the human condition and more importantly, humanity’s capacity for evil.  Written between 1911 and 1936, the collection features gems like “The Blue Cross” and “The Hammer of God.”  Widely available in paperback and e-book (the above edition is from 1943).

Devo’s “Beautiful World” single came out January 12, 1982. A great, great song, but this always struck me as the song where they let the mask drop, in a way. Anyway, here’s the original video.
