The piglet squid would seem to suggest that evolution’s medications are working. Possibly a little too well.

It sounds exactly what my daughter’s boyfriend listens to. At first I thought it was a hoax, but apparently it’s not.

Saturday Matinee – Temptations, Tee Tones & PMJ

The Temptations lip-synch “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg” from 1966. Awesome collars & peg pants.

The Tee Tones are better known as occasional backup singers for these folks:

And Postmodern Jukebox makes me smile.

Have a great weekend, folks. See you back here tomorrow.

You’ve probably uttered the phrase, “it begs the question,” and you’ve probably used it incorrectly. It doesn’t mean what you think it means.

Saturday Matinee – Stephanie Trick, Tuba Skinny, Nanook & Zappa

“Hand Full of Keys,” performed here by Stephanie Trick, is a Fats Waller composition, circa 1938. Awesome stride piano style. Although I’m somewhat ambidextrous and have a basic understanding of music theory and chords, there’s no way I could cut those chops.

Tuba Skinny is my favorite band these days.

I had a conversation with some of my co-workers recently, and the topic of Yellow Snow came up. I tried to explain Nanook of the North and failed, so we’re forced into Zappa mode.

You can find Zappa’s “Nanook Rubs It” on the Utoobage on your own, but “Deathless Horsie” is amazing.

Have a great SuperBowl Weekend folks. Seattle sucks big green donkeys because Seattle sucks big green donkeys. Everyone outside of Seattle knows Seattle sucks big green donkeys and so does Seattle. Seattle sucks big green donkeys.
