Saturday Matinee – Solar System Scale Model, Bonya & Kuzmich, & Billy Woodward

Building a scale model of our solar system [via]. Were the Earth the size of a marble, take a guess as to how big this model was.
(Hint: Bigger than that.)

Not sure what to make of this, but it kept my attention. It’s titled “Kiesza – Hideaway (Bonya & Kuzmich Russian parody).” I don’t know who Kieza is, but I’m not impressed and don’t care much either. [Found here.]

Since our Saturday Matinee Post is typically eclectic, let’s shift gears.

Billy Woodward is an anomaly – part country, part country blues, part rockabilly. Although I was looking for a video of another song (I Got Bit) this’ll do.

Have a great weekend, folks, and be back here tomorrow for more stuff.

These .gifs made me smile, especially the third one, because it was so well-intentioned, yet so poorly thought out.

Park Everywhere

Okay, so there’s these DORKS who like to ruin a person’s day for a minor parking infraction that they’re not in charge of enforcing so that they can take photos and post them on Instagram or something.

Yeah, we know where you live, and you’re next, babozo.

Desert Breath

Desert Breath 1

Located near the Red Sea in El Gouna, Egypt, Desert Breath is an impossibly immense land art installation dug into the sands of the Sahara desert by the D.A.ST. Arteam back in 1997.

It reminded me of and predates Louis Sachar‘s 1998 novel “Holes” that I read as a parent at the insistence of my youngun’s. I liked it, and the movie wasn’t bad either.

Saturday Matinee – The Spencer Davis Group, Traffic & Blind Faith

In 1965, The Spencer Davis Group rocked.

In 1967, Traffic rocked.

In 1969, Blind Faith rocked.

30 or so years later, and Steve Winwood still rocks.

Have a great weekend, folks. Be back here tomorrow, Winwood or not.
