Thunderbirds, A. Aallon Rytmiorkesteri (2000) A. Aallon, also known as A. Aalto and A. Aalto’s Rhythm Orchestra, is an iskelmä (pop) music group from Ylöjärvi, Finland. Interesting mix of styles, but this particular space western surf instrumental struck a chord with me.

Saturday Matinee – Tribe Members Watching Polar Bears, Atomic Leopards & The Oblivions
Watching the Beeb. [Found here.]
In 2005, Barcelona rockers Santi & David Lluch formed Atomic Leopards, and were members of Hellbilly Club. That’s not Spanish either – I think it’s Catalan.
Don’t know if The Oblivions chose that video, but as odd as it is, it seems appropriate. (The clip is from a Brazilian game show.)
That’s it for now. Have a great weekend, stay cool, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow for more random acts of oddness.

SHANGHAI, June 8 2021 (Reuters) – A roaming herd of 15 wild elephants is on the move again after resting for a day in a patch of forest on the outskirts of the city of Kunming in southwest China, resuming a year-long, 500-kilometre trek that has captured the public’s imagination.
Drone photographs taken on Monday by the provincial forest fire brigade showed members of the herd sleeping in a clearing in the middle of a forest in the district of Jinning, which has been hit by heavy rain and thunderstorms.

Saturday Matinee – The Dixie Hummingbirds, A1 Hundo & The Brothers Comatose
The Dixie Hummingbirds on Jubilee Showcase in 1964. James Walker on lead vocals. Formed in 1928, and with changing lineups, they have performed for over 90 years.
A1 Hundo resurrects the grooves of Booker T. & The MG’s. Hard to find anything about the band.
The Brothers Comatose did a happy doomsday song.
Gotta go, but we’ll be back tomorrow. Have a great weekend.
