Saturday Matinee – Miles, George, Michael, Frank & Janis

[Updated post: I deleted my unnecessary political rant. I decided that it doesn’t belong on this blog, and, aside from letting me vent, all it does is tick people off. Lo siento mucho. –Bunk]

Here’s  a dose of awesome:

Miles Davis was always awesome, especially in his later funk years. Didja catch the background jam? It obviously came from here:

George Clinton’s Parliament cranked it, although Clinton’s Funkadelic  “Maggot Brain” was my favorite. Here’s an alternate version:

Poor video, but nice audio by Michael Hampton. Let’s segue…

Zappa’s “Black Napkins” is a classic, and it’s probably derived, or at least related in an odd sort of way, from this:

Yep. That’s the Janis. Have a great weekend, folks, and be back here for more fun tomorrow.

Sunday Matinee – All Hallow’s Eve: Tom Waits, Laundromat, Ella Fitzgerald, Freddie King

Tom Waits’ “Underground” is perfect for Halloween. Just like this one:

There’s a new tenant who moved into the suite next door to my office. None of us have seen anyone come or go, but they installed black opaque film on the windows. I hear a lot of drilling, odd thumps, walking around on the roof, and occasionally the sound of running water… true.

This guy’s got some spooky short vids. Here’s Fewdio’s “Laundromat.” [via]

Let’s lighten it up a bit with some Classic EllaScat.

Freddy King’s “Goin’ Down.”

Have a great Halloween, folks, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow.

Jungle Graffiti Lizard Man Costume

Unfortunately we misplaced the linky to this image, but it’s a good ‘un for those who are still looking for the perfect last minute Halloween costume. If one of these guys come knocking at your door tomorrow night, just say, “Here ya go, Bunk! Don’t eat me!” and empty the candy barrel into my rucksack. I’ll silently nod in thanks, and I’ll see to it that your tires aren’t flat on Monday morning.

(For those of you who were expecting The Saturday Matinee, it’s been postponed and will show up tomorrow on All Hallow’s Eve.)

The Dark Nought

This Dark Knot, aka “The Cat in the Bat,” aka “Catman Deux,” aka “Die Katezefledermaus,” would be a totally worthless superhero, spending most of his time licking and scratching himself, sleeping, taking short sleep breaks just to eat and occasionally chasing shadows.
