The Beach Boys- God Only Knows

tags: The Beach Boys, God Only Knows

One of the greatest songs ever written. I killed the other one I posted because they were lip syncing. This one is live with a few different cuts from different concerts. I feel very lucky to have seen Carl perform this before he died.

A fun look at the Video Toaster for the Amiga computer, amazing in 1990 :) And if I read my history books correctly, this program was behind CGI magic in the first season of Babylon 5.

SSP - So Have I

tags: SSP, Ripcord, 1972, Skorpion, Hustlin Hoss, Deuces Wild, Ram Jet

Another toy classic from 1972! I loved these. I remember when I was a kid, I could never figure out what he said... "So Have I"! I always wanted one of these - I did get the Smash up Derby Set though - Which was way cooler; Ramps, pieces that flew off... Way cooler than todays "Safety Toys".
