Saturday Matinee – Boston Brass, Jazz In My Pants, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Jools Holland & Dragstrip Riot
Saturday, 20 April 2013After the atrocities in Boston this week, I was undecided on whether or not to post a eulogy for the dead, a lament for the maimed, or a patriotic kick ‘em right in the nuts fight song. I figure the best move is to post videos of what radical islamic supremists hate the most: music, dancing and people having fun.
The Boston Brass. “Blues For Ben” has a funk tuba crank.
Jazz In My Pants -A fun interpretation of “St. James Infirmary Blues.”
Doyle Lawson/mandolin, Jason Barie/fiddle, Jessie Baker/banjo, Corey Hensley/bass, Mike Rogers/guitar, Josh Swift/dobro, and Carl White/drums at Bluegrass Underground, Cumberland Caverns, Tennessee on July 22, 2011.
Jools Holland & His R&B Orchestra in 2010.
Dragstrip Riot 1958 shows the true evil decadence of the Western world with hot rods, hot chicks, & rock and roll.
That should keep you happy until the next edition of The Saturday Matinee. Have a great weekend folks, and pray for the people of Boston.
Saturday Matinee – Fresh Guacamole, Freshlyground, Leon Russell & Friends
Saturday, 6 April 2013[h/t Bunkarina for finding this.]
“Pot Belly,” recorded in 2007 by South African band Freshlyground. Nice song with a cool video [via].
Here’s Freshlyground live with “Fire Is Low” from 2011.
Leon Russell celebrated his 71st birthday 2 April. From the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh, here’s his take on the Stones‘ “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and The Coasters‘ “Young Blood.”
The event was the first-ever benefit concert of such a magnitude and featured a supergroup of performers that included George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, the band Badfinger, Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan [Wiki].
With that, we’re out of here. Have a great weekend folks.

Just add water.
Both vids above h/t Aussie Phil
Earl Okin is almost as seductive as Leon Redbone (sorry, Earl).
Nice vid compilation of Johnny Burnette‘s version of Tiny Bradshaw‘s classic “Train Kept A Rollin’” previously featured here.
Have a great weekend folks. Whether you’re religious or not, never forget the meaning of Easter.
Saturday Matinee – Erin Go Bleaugh! To Hell with the Mnathan Nighe!
Saturday, 16 March 2013Clever cover of cover of Paul Anka’s “Lonely Boy” by Mnozil Brass [via].
Since Sunday (tomorrow) is Saint Patrick’s Day, we might as well get into the spirits.
We Have No Heads!! Jeff Donohoe (Tin Whistle/Slapped-Bass/Vocals) and Mike Grimes (Guitar/Vocals). Playing unplugged (except for the Bass). Drinkin and pukin at Jeff’s place in Albuquerque NM on Feb. 25 2009.
The Fenians were a great bar band at The Harp, and I’m glad they’ve made it to bigger venues.
Dropkick Murphys featuring Liza Graves of Civet.
What a classic to wrap up The Saturday Matinee.
Scare off the bean sídhe and have a great weekend folks.
Saturday Matinee – The Steve Gibbons Band, Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox & The Carolina Chocolate Drops
Saturday, 2 March 2013The Steve Gibbons Band was cool. Anyone who could take a relatively obscure Chuck Berry song about a *ahem* novelty shop bust and get a minor hit in the 1970s was okay by me. I’d have never heard of Gibbons had I not been the 17th caller and won some albums.
Grampa Style. Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox cover of Macklemore‘s “Thrift Shop” is fkkn awesome. NSFK/NSFW warning on the link. [h/t to Bunkarina].
“Corn Bread and Butterbeans” by the Carolina Chocolate Drops. Why haven’t I heard of them before?
I dunno, Babs, but I do know this. It’s time to post The Saturday Matinee and be done with it. Have a great weekend, folks.

Canada’s House of Common addresses a potential threat to civilization [via].
This song was a hit on pop radio in the early 1960s, and it’s enough to make you wanna puke. [Wiki: The song was composed by Ghanaian musician Guy Warren in 1956 under the original title "An African's Prayer (Eyi Wala Dong)".]
The New Dimensions in Testimony program is pretty awesome. More here.
“‘I now have work for 20 years,’ he exclaimed joyfully.” Disturbing true story here.
