Bad Lipreading of NFL 2019 (via).
I’m kinda in a doo-wop mood, and St. Valentine’s Day is coming up. Czech this out.
That’s one of my favorite Zappa love songs because he did it so righteously.
The Persuasions deserved more recognition than they ever got. They were always looking for an echo and they covered Zappa.
Have a great weekend, folks. See y’all back here tomorrow for stuff.
Stan Coster sings “The Wobbly Boot.”
Slim Dusty sings “The Three Rivers Hotel.”
Ali Mills sings Waltjim Bat Matilda (better known as Waltzing Matilda, written by her great uncle Val McGuinness).

Vulfpeck has a cool funk/jazz groove, reminds me of Weather Report, except these guys make ridiculous “I’m About To Pop A Nut” faces while they jam.
Lettuce [aka Lettuce Funk] combines retro funk with retro future funk, and it works.
Jump to 5:08 for the Kansas Joe & Memphis Minnie / Led Zeppelin funk mashup. (I hear some of Zappa’s “I Am The Slime” in there, too.) Lettuce even had the cojones to cover Curtis Mayfield, and they did him right.
Poor video quality, but the audio is good. Here’s Curtis Mayfield’s original “Move On Up” (with German subtitles).
Have a great weekend, folks, and Move On Up wit yo bad sef. See you back here tomorrow.
Not sure why, but this kind of stuff fascinates me.
Egg-breaking machine complete with egg-breaking porn soundtrack found here.
I ran across Paul Whittington‘s Android 207 a coupla years ago. Seems to fit.
Tom Waits‘ self-accompanied masterpiece “Clang Boom Steam” also seems appropriate.
From the Utoobage description: “The iconic video was created by Gerald Scarfe initially as a backdrop film for when the band [Pink Floyd] played the track on its 1977 In the Flesh tour.”
From the Utoobage comments: “Imagine having to wait 40 years to watch your favorite band’s official videoclip.”
Have a great weekend, folks, and don’t forget that astronomy is gonna happen tomorrow night.

Whoa. What’s that? Click on it to find out.

Fruit noises [via]. It’s what my insides sound like at 3AM after eating the good stuff at 6PM.
The Beat Farmers was one helluva fun bar band, and “Blue Chevrolet” was one of my favorite roadtrip songs. I don’t recobanize the lineup except for the Jerry Raney lookalike on vocals and rhythm guitar, and it appears to be a tribute concert at the Belly Up Tavern in 2013. The legendary Country Dick Montana passed away in 1995 while playing drums on “The Girl I Almost Married.”
Never heard Country Dick?
This one’s for you, and so is the next one.
Mongolian folk metal blues band The HU is badass killer. Nope. Not gonna mess with them at all [via].
Have a great weekend folks. See you back here after the earth rotates 360 degrees.
That’s amazing. A cardioid is an anti-parabola. I never thought of it that way.
I used to do similar doodles, but nothing like hers. Draw a square, divide each line with dots, draw curvy lines top to bottom and right to left, then connect the diagonals and the result is a 2 dimensional wavy cloth. Or you can do dog-chase doodles to do spirals, but those need graphics to explain.
Amazing. Now I wanna see him do it with a Zippo [via].
Amazing. Now I wanna see him do it with meat [via].
Amazing. Now I gotta get up offa that thang.
Amazing R&B vocals featuring Lillian Reyes. I love this stuff.
Have a great weekend, folks. See you back here tomorrow for more really important stuff.
Bonus – Old guys singing in a men’s room with great acoustics.
Okay. I’m impressed. The timelapse is killer.
Eddie Murphy‘s James Brown‘s Capybara Hot Tub is awesome [via].
Everybody needs some Leon once in a while, so there you go.

From the ICYMI Department:
Porch Package Theft Payback is brilliant.
The Best Christmas Song Collection ever IMO.
If that’s not The Best Christmas Song Collection ever, THIS IS.
It’s not officially Christmas until I hear this version of Leroy Anderson’s 1946 classic.
From the Fun Facts To Know And Tell Department:
The song “Christmas Is My Time Of Year” was originally recorded in 1968 by the one-off supergroup “The Christmas Spirit” which included members of The Turtles (including Flo & Eddie), The Byrds and Linda Ronstadt. In 1976, an even sappier version was recorded and released by We Three Monkees.
[Top Image: I want to believe that’s a gourd. I really do, but it creeps me right out. These Christmas Tchotckes are very nicely done, but they would have given me nightmares when I was little [via].]
The Tractors – “Santa Claus Boogie” 1995.
George Thorogood & The Destroyers – “Rock and Roll Christmas” 1997.
Blaze Bayley & Michelle Sciarrotta – “Rock & Roll Christmas” 2013.
United States Navy Band – “Dueling Jingle Bells” 2016.
Just a few days left before I have to begin Christmas shopping so posting here may be sporadic. Have a great Pre-Christmas weekend, folks. Be back here tomorrow for stuff.
Nope. Not gonna touch those keys. No way.
[Found here.]
P.S. Not gonna touch this guy’s guitar, either.
