Saturday Matinee – Alfred Image Works, Pokey LaFarge & The Heavy

It’s 2150. There are all sorts of Aliens living throughout space.
Johnny Express (2014) by South Korean CGI studio Alfred Image Works.

Pokey LaFarge knows.

The Heavy from 2013. Great retro soul sound.

Had some good karma come visit in the past week: doc called and said there’s nothing important to discuss, Gord sent me some cool prints, and my workload has expanded. Then it balanced itself somewhat: a computer crash did some minor damage, and snakes ate my catalytic converter at 3am yesterday. Life happens.

Have a great weekend, and we’ll be back twitchin’ & bitchin’ tomorrow.

Time to go WHAP


Drummer (1973) Sculpture by Karoo Ashevak (1940-1974)
Materials: whalebone, ivory, substantia nigra
Inuit sculpture, Musée des Beaux-arts de Montréal

Ashevak’s whalebone sculptures were inspired by stories of shamans and spirits he learned during his childhood. He began carving in 1970 but was only able to create art for four years – he and his family died tragically in a fire in 1974.

Too Experienced, The Bodysnatchers (1980) 2-Tone RecordsThe Bodysnatchers, an all-female rock steady group from the UK, had potential. This cover of the song written by Keith Anderson (aka Bob Andy) appeared on the B-side of their second single, fulfilling their contract with 2-Tone Records. The company folded soon after and The Bodysnatchers played their last gig in October of 1980, but morphed into The Belle Stars and signed on with Stiff Records.

Saturday Matinee – Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band, Leo P & Jeff Beck w/ Imelda May

I get the grins whenever I hear The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band. Don’t let the silly stuff distract you; The Reverend has some killer chops.

Leo Pellegrino (of Too Many Zooz & Lucky Chops) really blows it in 2017 and breaks into Charles Mingus’ Moanin’ at about  3:14.

In 2019 Pellegrino sued  Epic Games for allegedly using his likeness when designing the “Phone it in” dance emote. “Because of his externally rotatable feet, he eventually developed his own unique dancing style and his signature and original movements – viz., the Signature Move,” reads the filing. 

Jeff Beck & Imelda May – great take on The Shangri-Las‘ 1964 breakout hit Remember (Walking In The Sand).

I hear there’s a football game this weekend, so burn your masks, fix up a batch of chili and we’ll see you tomorrow.
