Santa Claus Boogie, The Voices (1955) Robert “Bobby” James Byrd sang lead with The Voices, and as Bobby Day, had a hit with Rockin’ Robin in 1958. He had a string of hits writing and singing with a number of R&B groups, including the Hollywood Flames, that usually consisted of the same performers. Not to be confused with Butane James & The Famous Flames member Bobby Byrd.

THIS is amazing.

THIS is criminal.

THIS is how to arrive in port.

Saturday Matinee – The Avalanches, Otava Yo, The Ape Man, & Abby The Spoon Lady w/ Chris Rodrigues

Fun and surreal, The Avalanches are kinda like a sedated Devo on speed.

The 11th video by Otava Yo. Timonia is a folk song from the Kurskaya district, and filmed in the village of Kuznetsovo, Republic of Mari El, Russia, over the summer of 2020. Captions are helpful, sort of. Nice scenery.

Filmed in 1971 by a 10 year old boy, an ape man terrorizes the neighborhood. [Caution: Disturbing images and graphic violence.]

Pure Appalachia. Abby The Spoon Lady and Chris Rodrigues, busking on Wall Street, ca. 2014.

Yeah, these are kind of surreal for a Saturday Matinee, but it all seems to make sense given recent events. Have a great weekend and we’ll meet up tomorrow for therapy.
