Saturday Matinee – Elysian Fields, Bombskare, Steve Karla / Leo Johnson & Mike Zito
Very nice animation of Elysian Fields‘ Alms For Your Love. (Ignore the “You Can’t Watch It From This Link” garbage. Just click it.)
Bombskare did some a capella whoopin’ on Rory McLeod‘s Love Like A Rock.
Steve Karla & Leo Johnson (of SpaceHeaters) go street busking Django style.

Looks like some of you are in for some global cooling this weekend. If your house seems chilly, just step outside for five minutes and come back in – it’ll warm the house up good. Hunker down, and we’ll thaw out something fun for tomorrow.

The End is also a tribute to the cinema, from silent films to now.
Music by Enrico Morricone. [h/t Mme. Jujujive]
The Brothers Comatose with AJ Lee covers Neil Young – and do it better.
Justin Johnson‘s style mashup works.
23 year old Kingfish Ingram has already recorded and/or performed with Rick Derringer, Samantha Fish, Eric Gales, Guitar Shorty, Buddy Guy, Bob Margolin, Keb Mo, Mr. Sipp and the Tedeschi Trucks Band. Amazing.
Whoa. It’s the weekend already. Lotta time flies these days and we’ll see you tomorrow sooner than you think.

“On Jan. 27, 2021, water melted off of Tammy Shriver’s rooftop in Bangor, dripped onto the tree branches below, then refroze in the shape of a hummingbird.”
“A little bit of sunshine that day melted the hummingbird somewhat, transforming it into a different bird.”
