“A Short Vision became one of the most influential British animated films ever made when it was screened on US television as part of the popular Ed Sullivan Show. Although children were advised to leave the room while it played, it still caused outrage and alarm with its graphic representation of the horrors of nuclear war. But it also caught the mood of the times, since the mid-1950s was the height of both the Cold War and nuclear paranoia, as depicted (sometimes allegorically) in such American films as Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) and The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957).” [Description from here.]

Kyoto Tachibana High School Brass Band, November 23, 2017 Rose Parade National Commemorative Parade at Fushimi Osuji Shopping Street.
They memorized the music. They memorized the choreography. They stayed in tune while jumping around and not breaking teeth, and they also stayed in perfect formation. What happens to them in private if they miss a step or crack a note? I’m still impressed [via].
Dušan Kastelic‘s The Box [via]. Reminds me of Lazar.
The Mendes Harmónica Trio blows “Rock Around The Clock.” Check out that double-decker Hohner on the left.
James Cotton (1936-2017) was one of my all time favorite blues harp players. Have at it.
Have a great weekend, folks. Be back tomorrow for stuff.

“Just go away, mind your own business, and get over it.“
Pure awesome. If her neighbors were smart, they’d do the same thing she did, then petition the Manhattan Beach city council to rename the street “Insert Emoji Here,” turn it into a profitable local tourist attraction then sell.
From the Save The Planet Department:
“It’s enough to eat a little less. You talk about environmental pollution. It’s enough to poop every other day. That will be better for the whole world.”

Saturday Matinee – Elvis Covers: You wanna puke or you wanna rock?
Saturday, 10 August 2019
Found in here. So cute it’ll make you puke.
Yeah, she’s got it down on the uke, but it was garbage even when Elvis sung it. Adult singers are much worse since they should know better, like this FAIL, this FAIL and THIS MAJOR LEAGUE FAIL.
Now THIS is how to do an Elvis Cover right.
[BTW, Steve Goodman was the guy who co-wrote and recorded the best damn country song ever. He also wrote and recorded the best damn train song ever.]
This song comes to mind as well. Even Mojo Nixon got it and asplained it perfectly over 30 years ago.
Have a great weekend, folks. Be back here tomorrow to see if I’ve been banned from Twitter again.
