Saturday Matinee – LAZAR, Ry Cooder & Black Country Communion

Unusual animation from the 1980s. It reminds me of Terry Gilliam‘s “Brazil” from the same period, and it’s apropos, given yesterday’s #Brexit vote in the UK.

Ry Cooder‘s version of Johnny Cash‘s “Get Rhythm” (from the album of the same name) is introduced by Harry Dean Stanton. Cooder’s swamp rock take of Elvis’ “All Shook Up” is killer.

PeteR recommended Black Country Communion featuring Glenn Hughes, so here he is, there they are, and here we go.

Have a great weekend, folks, and if we’re not rockin’ tomorrow we’ll be rollin’.

Kinkajou Fu

Funky Fungi

I think the second one is a possum (not an opossum) and not a kinkajou. No idea what that last one is, but it reminded me of this.

Miami Blows.

Miami 16 June 2016

“Dude. GTFO. That’s my spot.” Then it happened. The wind kicked up and Miami started raining furniture.

This is the incredible moment chairs and furniture where whipped into the air by ferociously high winds in Miami. Patio chairs and sun loungers can be seen flying through the sky as the fierce storm scoops them up and flings them from a high rise building in the Floridian city.

Hinky Dinky Parley-Voo Hot Links

I wanna be the Sumpy.

I don’t wanna be the Bobo.

Interview with Ian Herring. The guy is a “colourist,” enhances comic books by coloring the graphics. His website is kinda cool, too.

“Hey, Dad. Can I have your jeans?” Denim jeans or jackets manufactured before 1980 are a hot ticket for collectors. Wow.

Milo Yiannopoulos, Christina Hoff Sommers and Steven Crowder: Intolerant jerks disrupt an otherwise civil forum. Long clip, starts out kinda jumpy. [NSFW, NSFK, foul language with subtitles.]

Want to learn tattooing but your girlfriend won’t let you practice on her? Make your ink mistakes on a Pound Of Flesh instead.

World’s 1st prosthetic arm designed for a tattoo artist is pure steampunk.

“Hinky Dinky Parley-Voo” was a popular song post-WWI.

[Top image: She worked in vaudeville, radio, film and on Broadway. She played Daisy Moses in a popular TV show. Guess before you click.]
