Vomit Clocks
Private FB group VOMIT CLOCKS defines them as
“A 1960/70s mid-century craft trend where one incorporated rocks or other items (dead insects, dried plants, glitter, shells, etc.) into a mold (clock, animal, trivet, plate) and then poured a clear or colored resin which hardened into the molded object. […] The vomit clocks’ jumbled contents often look like regurgitated vomit or a gelatin salad full of fruit chunks.“
The history, cleaning, maintenance and repair of Vomit Clocks may be found at The Vomit Clock Museum.

Saturday Matinee – Shinyribs, 19-Twenty & Wee Willie Walker
Based in Austin, Texas, and fronted by Kevin “Shinyribs” Russel,
Shinyribs “defies genres as a sonic melting pot of Texas Blues, New Orleans R&B funk, horn- driven Memphis Soul, country twang, border music, big band swing, and roots-rock.”
19-Twenty is a high energy roots rock/blues band who have played numerous prominent festivals and many small venues across Australia. Their recordings include collaborations with other Aussie greats like Aloe Blacc, Lachy Doley, Roshani & Hussy Hicks.
Wee Willie Walker (1941-2019) was a gospel, R&B and soul singer born in Hernando, Mississippi, raised in Memphis, Tennessee. His first release, in 1967, was a cover of the Beatles’ Ticket to Ride.
Holy crap what a week of weather – record heat, record rains, record floods. Prayers to those who suffered losses of property and especially to those who lost loved ones.
