DIY Monocentris Japonica
Google translate gives us this description (from the video):
Introducing rare Japanese fish. A unique Matsukasauo. I saw it after a long time. In the old days, you could throw it into a bonfire, bake it and eat it. The scale is hard and the kitchen knife does not enter. Although small , he is very delicious. When processing, do you put a knife in the anus or cut it with scissors? For roasted and steamed fish. It is expensive as an ornamental fish because it has a rare value. It may be sold as a stuffed animal for ornamental purposes. It’s a fish like a skeleton, but it’s also called a pineapple fish.
House Spiders
Marlin Peterson did it (and those are daddy longlegs, aka harvesters, not spiders) on the roof of the Armory at the Seattle Center.

Smishing is a texting scam, been around for a few years.
Rockin’ Bird has a great earworm loop. Some pigeons learn to fake injuries for a handout. That one is in Melbourne Australia [source].

Saturday Matinee – Textron ARV, Malford Milligan, The Brothers Osborne w/ Darius Rucker & A Thousand Horses, and Thee Sinseers
That’s some serious Black Mirror stuff.
The Malford Milligan Band with Jeff Plankenhorn (I think) circa 2011. Can’t verify the the others.
“We had so much fun backstage during our last jam video that Darius Rucker decided he didn’t want to be left out…so we made another!” Whole buncha peeps in that one: The Brothers Osborne, Darius Rucker and A Thousand Horses. BTW, that’s a Doc Watson song.
Joey Quinones & Thee Sinseers‘ chicano R&B gets me every time. Reminds me of so many things long ago and far away. Hard to find the band lineup, but that’s Adriana Flores (of The Altons) on vocals.
Guess that’s good enough for now. Have a great weekend, do something nice for your mom, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow.
