This is the biggest little airport, and it’s awesome. [via]
How to eat spaghetti correctly. Buster Keaton and Fatty Arbuckle in 1918.
How to rock correctly. Gene Vincent in 1964.
Dedicated to the OWS crowd who can’t figure it out on their own.
Doug and the Slugs was a great bar band, fronted by the late Doug Bennett. and there’s proof.
Have a great weekend folks. Bunk off.
Rosemary Clooney‘s “Blues in the Night.” A Hooey Da Hoo-ee.
Classic Clapton jam from 2007, featuring Derek Trucks. Nice version, even with Clapton’s guitar feed dropping out midway through.
Derek Trucks is married to Susan Tedeschi, and here she is backed by Jimmie Vaughan and Double Trouble.
Double Trouble took it’s name from this Otis Rush song.
Let’s wrap it up with some awesome boogie woogie with Memphis Slim from 1975. Have a great weekend, folks, and we’ll see you tomorrow for more fun.

I love the retro sound of The Black Keys, and I dance like that guy.

I can’t play harmonica and guitar at the same time. Heck I can’t play guitar and sing either. Okay, my guitar playing sucks, I can’t sing and my harp is middling.
Benjamin Tehoval amazes me. [h/t to Bagua.]
Slim Harpo‘s “Scratch My Back” with a nice vid attached.
The Marcels‘ “Blue Moon” is a classic. They recorded their 1961 hit in just two takes – and the recordings are almost indistinguishable from each other.
The late Stéphane Grappelli‘s version of “Blue Moon” is closer to the 1934 original, and it’s a pretty song to end this post with.
Have a great weekend folks. Come back here tomorrow for more inanity.

Screamin’ Jay Hawkins “I Hear Voices.”
Tom Waits’ “What’s He Building?” is a creepy classic.
Pixar’s Rodrigo Blass: “Alma.” (Caution: this is NOT for little kids.)
Nice jam. Albert Collins’ King’s “Born Under A Bad Sign,” cranked out by Davy Knowles, Christine Collister, Bonnie Hayes, and members of the Robert Cray Band.
Have a great weekend folks, and be back here tomorrow for more oddities.

Dr. Suess’ “Oh The Thinks You Can Think” is a video adaptation with music from the banned “Dylan Hears A Who.”
My new keyed fiddle (“Schlüsselfiedel” in German, “nyckelharpa” in Swedish). This instrument was common throughout the German speaking areas until the 17th century – from then on, it was kept only in the area of Uppland in Sweden, where the art of the instrument was rediscovered in the 20th century.
Humming House’s “Gypsy Django” is kinda fun. Tip ‘o the tarboosh to Bunkarina.
Remastered from the famous rooftop recording, I dedicate The Beatles’ “I Me Mine” to the hypocrites participating in OccupyWhatever, who are making the same mistakes and pulling the same stunts of decades ago.
The late Sam Kinison’s “Wild Thing” is pure awesome. [h/t brick]
Ignore the rust, ignore the primer. The duct tape AND fiberglass tapeworms give this gas-guzzling lolmobile immediate qualifications as a genuine candidate. Say we ignore that awesomeness – the bungie bumper supports are a stand alone double-whammy for inclusion in the esteemed category known around these parts as Babe Magnets. Congrats are in order.
