Cats and croissants. [via]
I loved the Stray Cats’ retrobilly thang, and this was one of their finest moments. (BTW, “Fridays” was a much funnier show than Saturday Night Live IMO.)
Speaking of Eddie Cochran, here’s Gene Vincent’s “Be-Bop-A-Lula.”
Vince Taylor beat out The Who with this cover of Johnny Kidd & The Pirates’ “Shakin’ All Over.”
And here’s one of the greatest latter day rock and roll love songs in my opinion. Have a great weekend, folks, and may you all have pleasant surprises.

Man! You just can’t stop your feet from tapping when the Stray Cats fire up and Lordy, Lordy!!! What a voice Tom Waits has…. I wonder if Tom and Rod Stewart ever did Downtown Train together???? How crazy would that be!!!

Tattoo Jim– I read an interview with Tom Waits a long while ago. He was shooting for a Howlin’ Wolf sound, and deliberately messed up his vocal chords by screaming into a pillow, just to get the gravel.
nursem– Bullets and zeppelin races!
