Saturday Matinee – Government, Milk, Rainstorm, Phones & Violent Love

Saturday, 20 June 2009

[Before we start our Saturday Feature Presentation, we found a great concise description that compares different types of government, with historical examples.  Folks, please take 10 minutes to  WATCH THIS, and then pass it on.]

We now resume our regular programming schedule.

Funny milk adverts [Found via Presurfer].

Turn up the sound. The first 1-1/2 minutes is VERY cool:  Rainstorm.

Dem Phones. Really. [Found here.]

Ingrid Lucia & the Flying Neutrinos have an excellent version of Willie Dixon‘s “Violent Love,” with a Billie Holiday groove. Too bad there’s not a live video.

1983 saw OingoBoingo at it’s peak, with a ska version of  “Violent Love.”  Bunk sat at a table next to them at Madam Wong’s without knowing who they were. Then they got on stage and cranked.  (Oh, yeah, if you didn’t know, the lead singer is Danny Elfman.  Yep. That Danny Elfman.)

Uh-Oh.

If I saw a sky like this, I’d tell Mrs. Strutts and the kids to get in the car as quietly as possible.  Then we’d drive for a few weeks.

Although this was found on a Russian website, it came with this attached description:

The Tornado Intercept Vehicle just east of Kearney, NE, on I-80, May 29, 2008. The TIV is a vehicle specifically designed for storm chaser Sean Casey and follows Josh Wurman’s Project Rotate radar crew, currently being filmed for a documentary by the Discovery Channel.
