PreTeen Rock Band Camp Posters
So the little ProtoRockers are sent to “Band Camp” and the kids get bored with the necessary repetition. So what’s next? Teach Pentatonics? Arpeggios? Etudes? NO!
Let’s Make Posters!
I really want to hear what these kids can put out. Honest.
If it’s for fun, let it ride.
On the other hand, if someone is telling these children that they will be wealthy and famous someday by merely jamming C, F and G, then I’m against it.

I’ll See You on the Dark Side of the Hot LInks
The Great American Solar Eclipse is tomorrow. Plug in your location here to find out what time you need to start banging your pots and pans to drive the dragon away. If anyone tells you it’s safe to look at with the nekkid eye, he/she is a fool.
Don’t do it.
Apparently The Ancients blamed dogs for the temporary darkness of a solar eclipse.
Every time I hear it, it seems she’s singing about her cat. On the other hand, it’s a good Solar Eclipse party song.
The Mystery of the U.S. Navy’s Ghost Blimp is still unsolved after 75 years.
84 year-old folk artist Denny Lunn tells some stories [via].
The last Blockbuster store is still open for business.
An honorary statue in New Orleans, depicting a famous military figure on a horse, was defaced with the words “Tear It Down” recently. The honored warrior was captured, tortured and killed by fire decades before Europeans even knew about this continent, and centuries prior to the founding of the United States of America. TRUE.

Saturday Matinee – African Raccoons, Toni Tee and Liquid Wisdom & The Specials
Raccoons stirrin’ up sh*t.
Toni Tee & Liquid Wisdom on a bus. They play a cool variety of music (reggae, rock, funk, soul, hiphop, punkadelic) but it’s tough to find a vid with decent a/v on the Utoobage. [h/t Bunkessa – yeah she scored two hits this week; this one and the one above.]
Can’t fight corruption with con tricks;
They use the law to commit crime.
And I dread, dread to think what the future will bring,
When we’re living in gangster time.
The Specials performed their 1979 hit “Gangsters” (with Lily Allen) at the Glastonbury Festival 2007. (The music was lifted from Prince Buster‘s 1964 ska hit “Al Capone.” Have a listen.)
Have a great weekend, folks, and let’s see what happens tomorrow.
Okay, I got nuthin’.

Monitor lizards can count up to six. Nobody knows why they stop counting at that number.
Some people will jump off a 33 foot tall tower for $30, and some people won’t.
Awful graphics, but the information is interesting when you interpolate it. $100 in Mississippi or Alabama buys about 32% more than it does in New York or California (and a whopping 36% more compared to Washington D.C.).
One-sided negotiation is not negotiation.
This scene creeped me right out.
ICYMI. Yeah, it’s blogwhoring. Hit the tip jar if you don’t like it.
