Saturday Matinee – Holton Rower’s Paint Spills, Jack Broadbent & Floyd Jones

Interesting artsy spilly painty project [via].

Awesome slide by Jack Broadbent on the streets of Amsterdam in 2014 with a cover of Canned Heat’s “On The Road Again.”

“On The Road Again” was penned by the late Alan “Blind Owl” Wilson and Floyd Jones. Wilson died of a barbiturate overdose in 1970 at the age of 27, within a few weeks of the similar drug-related deaths of Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. So what about Floyd Jones? Let’s hear him.

Here’s Floyd Jones‘ “Stockyard Blues” with his own commentary.

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

BTW, I had a dream last night where I’d stitched together every .gif I’ve ever posted into one that took hours to download and view. It was entirely awesome.

Grampa Eliot sings the truth.

Doreen’s Jazz is entirely awesome.

Have a great weekend, folks, remember the Presidents who afforded us our freedoms and those who assist in taking them away, and be back here tomorrow for more stuff.

Oh, and this and this. Do it.

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.
