“A hand drawn animated documentary, following the rhythms of a day in Yorkshire. It captures the sound of Yorkshire, from its multicultural and bustling cities like Bradford and Sheffield, to the delicate sounds of birds in the country side and the hypnotic rhythm of the motorways and train tracks.”
In 2014, Witchita Trip covered Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn: “Ya, it has a better groove. That’s Wichita Trip. The two singers and I have played together for about 15 years. There’s no country bars so we end up playing with rockabilly and blues bands, it’s not a great fit. Barb and Rupert have been singing together for about 30 years.” – Gorehound, guitarist
Los Straitjackets play definitive roadtrip cruisin’ music and more. “The funny thing about this band is when the band started I thought it was just going to be for fun,” says founding guitarist Eddie Angel. “I thought we’d play once a month in Nashville and our friends would come out and laugh at us. Ironically, all the other bands I was in, the ones I took seriously, crashed and burned and the one I thought was just for fun became my job.” – Houston Press

Been a short week all around for me, starting with Memorial Day on Monday, then waking up on Friday convinced it was Saturday until about 3pm, so I got two 3-day weekends in a row by accident. See you on the porch around the crack of noon and well discuss time travel.
Rey Mysterio in a lucha libre “Mask vs. Hair” match in 2010.
Mysterio, aka Óscar Rubio, was one of the greatest luchadores of all time.
During 2010’s Smackdown,The Undertakerwas pushing 50 years old. He had been wrestling since the ’80s and was getting on in years. It’s unclear whether he was still in the ring for the cash or because he still loved the work. His opponent at the time was Rey Mysterio. They were qualifying for the Fatal 4-Way. At one point, Mysterio hit the Undertaker directly in the face, fracturing his orbital bone. The good news is that the Undertaker won the match. The bad news is his injury prevented him from competing in the 4-Way. Who took his place? Mysterio, of course.
