Saturday Matinee – Post Halloween Cosplay, Meteor Strike, Marxists & Billy Burnette
Girl wins at Cosplay San Diego with cardboard Robocop costume [via].
Spotted an odd .gif, found the source on the Utoobage. It’s a Killer promotional idea.
From the Utoobage:
Here are two short, rarely seen film clips featuring the Marx Brothers. The first clip is a promo film Groucho, Chico, Harpo and Zeppo did in support of their movie “Monkey Business”. The other clip features Groucho and Carole Landis entertaining some marines during WWII.
Yeah, I hear ya. You want some kickass rockabilly about right now, right? Let’s tear it up.
Billy Burnette was born into a Rock-N-Roll Family and his band is entirely awesome. Have at it.
And have a great weekend, folks. Be back here tomorrow for more fun,
Happy Birthday, Bunkessa. You Gave Us The Scariest Halloween We Ever Had.
[And yes, that’s really Bunkessa.]

Saturday Matinee: Ray White, Priscilla Ahn & Tom Waits
Talking Feet: 6-1/2 minutes of awesome. Watch the whole thing [via].
Priscilla Ahn‘s got a cool version of Tom Waits‘ “I Don’t Wanna Grow Up.”
Tom Waits was indicted [sic] into The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in 2011, and Neil Young introduced him. Great intro, great clips, great quotes. Someone said that Waits doesn’t sing the same song the same way twice.
“I think what I try to do is write adventure songs and Halloween Music.” –Tom Waits
That last quote cracks me up, because back when we still had trick-or-treaters coming around, we’d do up the front entry and blast Mickey Hart’s “Planet Drum” and Wait’s “Bone Machine” to the neighborhood. Great Halloween music.
Have a great weekend, see you back here tomorrow.

It seems like it’s too far off to do proper Halloween posts, but here’s our Halloween Archive anyway.
The Artwork Of Pierre Brassau
In February 1964, four paintings by a previously unknown avant-garde French artist named Pierre Brassau were exhibited at an art show in Göteborg, Sweden. Also at the show were works by artists from England, Denmark, Austria, Italy, and Sweden, but it was the works of the French artist that attracted all the attention.
Art critics, journalists, and students, glasses of wine in hand, silently contemplated Brassau’s creations. Their praise was almost unanimous. Rolf Anderberg of the morning Posten later wrote that most of the works at the show were “ponderous,” but not those of Brassau:
“Pierre Brassau paints with powerful strokes, but also with clear determination. His brush strokes twist with furious fastidiousness. Pierre is an artist who performs with the delicacy of a ballet dancer.” Continue reading “The Artwork Of Pierre Brassau”
