Saturday Matinee – Gene Chandler, Earth Angels & Samantha Fish with John Long

Gene Chandler was still doing retro doo-wop in the early ’60s. Then there’s these guys whose cover was kinda embarrassing, but good at the same time.

Yeah, that stuff is stuff, but this stuff is better.

Sam Fish cranks it, and that hoser on her right [Jonathan Long] could barely keep up. Love it.

Have a great weekend, folks. See you back here tomorrow for more fun.

These Velocipedes were large and fast, but they were not predators.

Saturday Matinee – NFL 2019 Bad Lip Reading, Zappa & The Persuasions

Bad Lipreading of NFL 2019 (via).

I’m kinda in a doo-wop mood, and St. Valentine’s Day is coming up. Czech this out.

That’s one of my favorite Zappa love songs because he did it so righteously.

The Persuasions deserved more recognition than they ever got. They were always looking for an echo and they covered Zappa.

Have a great weekend, folks. See y’all back here tomorrow for stuff.

Squirrel King?

Never heard of a “squirrel king” until now. It happens when squirrels get their tails entangled and can’t escape, leaving them vulnerable to predators and starvation. Pine sap was the culprit in the image above.

Is it a hoax? I dunno, Babs, but I do know this: there’s more about “squirrel kings” and related “kings” with photos and links here.
