Puzzle from an advertising card for Ivory Soap by Proctor & Gamble, 1896
This is a cop-out holiday post, but I'll try at least to make it educational. I've chosen the song "Laborer" by the 49th Parallel to celebrate the fact that today is Labor Day - the hidden significance of this choice (beyond the song title, of course) is that the 49th Parallel was a garage-rock band from Calgary, and Labor Day comes from Canada as well. Americans visiting Canada in the late 19th century witnessed the country's autumn Labour Festival and had the idea to create an analogous holiday stateside. So there you go - enjoy this slice of oddly compelling and highly repetitive Canadian garage rock from 1967 in honor of the day and its heritage.
