Wall Street Protest Duct Tape Fail

[via Weasel Zippers]

Everywhere is freaks and hairies, dykes and fairies. Tell me where is sanity? Tax the rich, feed the poor, ’til there aren’t no rich no more. I’d love to change the world, but I don’t know what to do.  – Alvin Lee

Yep, they’re changing the world all right, one failed beat at a time. Truth is, the guy’s got no rhythm – he’s a beat off – and if that were a real Benjamin in his pocket he’d be chasing after the dork who lifted it. Capitalism!

Saturday Matinee – The Charts, The Pyramids, The Belmonts, The Mills Brothers & Zappa

To all readers of Tacky Raccoons who have Utoobage accounts:
Please capture and repost these. They’ve been blocked and vaporized before, but they should be available to everyone, if only because they’re so entirely awesome.


“Dance Girl” by The Charts, who earn the award for Best Non-Rock-Band-Name in the business. (Not to be confused with “Dance Girl,” a song recorded by Norman Fox & The Rob Roys, which is an entirely different awesome song.)

The Pyramids’  1958 hit “Hot Dog Dooly Wah” is a favorite around here.

Dion DiMucci trashed a slut and everyone heard.

The Mills Brothers‘ “Till Then” is a classic.

Zappa’s Black Napkins.

And with that, I’m outta here. Have a great weekend, folks.
