Saturday Matinee – The Corridor Crew, Mad Sin, Lara Hope & The Ark-Tones and Moon Hooch
“Disclaimer: This video is a comedic parody and is not owned, endorsed, created by, or associated with the Boston Dynamics company.”
Yeah, but it could happen. Video is by the Corridor Crew.
Quirky vid, catchy song, and an f-bomb, Mad Sin plays “a combination of rockabilly, punk, white-trash blues and tongue-in-cheek sarcasm.”
Lara Hope & The Ark-Tones do the roots rock retro nicely.
Too cool not to share. Moon Hooch got stuck in a traffic jam in France and decided to make the best of it. Most popular Utoob comment? This:
*marches all the way to front of traffic jam
*four car collision accident no survivors
So there you go. Have a great weekend, try out this Superbowl Chili and lemme know how fast it goes.

The Tally Sheet
I found this in the recycle box about a month ago and realized that I’d found an ancient calendar of sorts.
Although I can’t read the runes, it appears to be a tally of something, registered almost daily, sorted in eight stacked blocks, with horizontal lines dividing the rows 5/3. Most squares contain three or four “events” and some have only two. Some days are missing, some are x’ed out and Monday appears only twice. It spans 26 weeks, half a year.
I’d ask the Missus, but that would be too easy.
Maybe I really don’t want to know.

Got To Get You Off My Mind, Soloman Burke, 1965Burke: “It was written in California the night of Sam Cooke’s death. I learned of Sam Cooke’s death after leaving him two hours prior to that. At the same time I learned about my wife wanting a divorce. A special delivery letter was at the desk waiting for me in the hotel.”
Background vocals include Dee Dee Warwick (sister to Dionne Warwick) and Emily “Cissy” Houston (mother of Whitney Houston and aunt to the Warwick sisters).
