Jimi, Che, what’s the difference.
One was a left-handed guitar player, the other was a mass-murdering terrorist.
Apparently it’s difficult for some to tell them apart.

Cross-Stitched Hot Links
Cross stitch + .gif animations + transvestites = The RuPaul Cross Stitch Animation Workshop.
“We met over 4 Wednesday nights to learn cross stitch, view experimental animation, celebrate local drag, and discuss GIF culture.”
“Cookin’ With Aunt Ethel” as sung by Linda Hopkins is great and bizarre at the same time. Apparently it’s from a 1985 satirical play entitled “The Colored Museum.”
Google this and read it.

Saturday Matinee – Postmodern Jukebox, Oh!Sharels & Molly Sue Gonzalez
Postmodern Jukebox (featuring The Tee-Tones) does Pitbull‘s & Keisha‘s “Timber” in doowop style, and we love it.
Couldn’t make it through the original version. Then we thought we’d look for some recent retro bands and found this.
Japanese girl group Oh!Sharels cover the Chords’ 1954 classic Sh-Boom.
Contrary to popular belief, doowop (aka R&B aka Rhythm & Blues) was not the only form of early rock and roll, so let’s kick it up with some Retrobilly.
Molly Sue Gonzalez (And The Mean Mean Men) “Bad Example” is just the thing to wrap up this edition of The Saturday Matinee. Have a great weekend folks, be back here tomorrow.
