Saturday Matinee: Hollies, Checkmates, Guitar Strings, Waits & Satchmo

The Hollies’  “Just One Look”  was a 1964 cover of Doris Troy’s 1963 hit. [More tomorrow.]

Since Phil posted a TW vid, here’s a reposte.  Tom Waits never sings the same song the same way twice.

One of the prettiest songs ever sung.  Oh Yeah.

Some things you just shouldn’t question.

Really.  You don’t want to know.

Trailer for Sale or Rent

Specious country living at its best.  Surrounded by woodlands and meadows, this economical residence provides all the rustic utilities you look for in a pristine rural setting.  Campfires every night!  Far from the bustling city, the lot provides ample opportunities for pursuing both game and fish, and has sanitary facilities adjacent to the creek a mere 150 yards away.  You’ll never have to mow the grass again.

Miss Prattle

Miss Prattle, consulting Doctor Double Fee about her Pantheon Head Dress, has a very unusually shaped bottom that always points very very slightly to the southeast of her chamber pot in her chamber.  What does it mean?

I don’t know, Babs, but I do know this.

Bunk’s outta work, and may slow down his posting for a while.  Lo Siento.  Of course, maybe I’ll work for free, cleaning up the mess in the back yard and stuff.  Or maybe I’ll work for free messing around here while I drum up some busyness.

I decided that if I’m gonna be unemployed, I might as well make it worth my while and delve into savings.  If I delve frugally enough, I’ll have enough to pay for my own office while I scrounge for additional projects.  All I need is to hold my breath while the C and D students eat it.

Unfortunately for us, the C and D students run the world, but all I have to do is beat the dregs.  Meanwhile, lemme know if y’all want your windows washed.

Saturday Matinee: Frogs, Mojo, Jello, BoneBot & Bees

[Amazing collection of frogs from here. Thanx, Dan.]

[Excellent find from Aussie Phil.]

Odd and mildly disturbing just doesn’t describe it. [Via MB.]

Mojo & Jello Biafra make their point?

Yep. Payback time. This song made me smile even before I posted THIS video (which BTW was our very first post).

.Gif Friday Post 63: BAM. DOG.

doggg_woosk

This is apparently from a training video.  The dog is not taking down a bad guy, judging from how the squad runs unprotected from various angles, and the “baddy” is wearing a mattress suit.

In any case, The Dog is way beyond cool.

There’s always one who thinks sleeps outside of  the box.  Unlike  CATS.

[Since Feels.ru has begun tagging their images and has gotten a little smuttier recently, I’ve taken them off the blogroll.  I might link to individual posts instead.]

Future Schlock” by P.J. O’Rourke is worth a read.

Speaking of coffee, Rockhoppers has a radio ad.

“We’ve seen just a skyrocketing autism rate.  Some people are suspicious that it’s connected to the vaccines. This person included.” More scientific ignoramuses here.

James Burke’s excellent series “Connections” is required viewing. Here’s Part 3 of Episode 1.  I’d forgotten about the show until Mr. GAB reminded me.

The Ocapellos were the greatest singing group ever if only because Frank Zappa took their song “The Stars” and mooshed it into “Fountain of Love,” recorded as Ruben & the Jets.

Speaking of Frank Zappa, one of his greatest influences was one Edgard Varese.  John M. of Uncertain Times found some great gems and posted them here.
