Saturday Matinee – Harrier Lands Sans Nose Gear, El Mariachi Manchester & Bad Manners
Harriers are awesome… and scary as hell if you happen to be the enemy. You hear its death whistle before you see it.
El Mariachi Manchester covers The Smiths‘ “Girl in a Coma” with a poco mariachi, poco ska style. (The trumpet player is using a Harmon mute and Bunkessa said the singer looks like me).
Since I’m in a ska mood, let’s wrap it up with this.
Bad Manners first hooked me with their cover of Millie Small‘s 1964 hit “My Boy Lollipop” which was a cover of a song written by Robert Spencer of The Cadillacs and recorded by Bobbie Gaye in 1956 (according to Wiki). Bad Manners also recorded one of the prettiest reggae love songs ever in my opinion: “Samson and Delilah.”
So let’s wrap up this babozo with a full dose of British Ska.
Have a great weekend, folks, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow whether you like it or not.

Trilobite Fossil Face Up
We found a lot of these little fossilized buggers along shale creek beds in Ohio, and fossil shops sold them for a quarter to fifty cents. I’d never seen the underside.

Dr. Julius Vogel’s Contribution To The World: PeePee Color Analysis
I’d be very worried if I whizzed anything past No. 4.
From what I can tell, Dr. Julius Vogel of Germany (not to be confused with Sir Julius Vogel of New Zealand) was instrumental in detecting disease and other maladies by analyzing urine samples in the mid to late 1800s and writing treatises about it and other studies involving the endocrine system. And yes, he wrote about “asparagus pee.” It’s because of Dr. Vogel that your doctor asks you to piss in a cup.
You can read an entire 1876 Treatise by Dr. William Roberts M.D. on urine color diagnoses that features the work of Dr. Vogel here.
