The .Gif Friday Post No. 534- Scratchbird, Hooverbird & Catbomb
1930s Socialist Propaganda for a 4 Hour Work Day
Work less, get paid the same wages. Sounds like part time to me. That’s a way for a government administration to doctor the numbers to show unemployment decreasing while reducing the gross income of the work force. I’ll pass.

Saturday Matinee – The Skids, Linkin Bridge & Cinco De Mayo Madrid Flash Mob
The Skids “Into The Valley” [via]. Nice Ramones influence.
Today is the start of The 2018 Kentucky Derby, and yes, it has a themesong.
Linkin Bridge‘s “My Old Kentucky Home” is killer.
Oh, and Cinco De Mayo has everything to do with selling beer in the US and nothing to do with Mexican Independence Day.
This is kinda cool. Mariachi flash mob showed up in Madrid, but Mariachis originated in Mexico not Spain. Go figure.
Have a great weekend. folks, see you back here tomorrow.

It Begins and It Ends.
And The Times They Are A Hot Links
A long forgotten grade-school rhyme popped into my head recently and here it is.
Mary had a little watch.
She swallowed it one day,
So Mary took a Feen-A-Mint
To pass the time away.
The Feen-A-Mint, it did not work;
The time, it did not pass;
So if you want to know what time it is,
Just look up Mary’s little brother.
He’s got a watch.
Marky Ramone talks about CBGBs and stuff.
The U.S. Tax System explained with beer.
These “Chimera Cats” are not photoshopped images.
Caren Zeldie Turner lost her position as NJ Port Authority Commissioner because of this.
Cool and embarrassing at the same time. El TIE Fighter más ecológico de la galaxia.

Saturday Matinee – Dave Allen, NYC 1911, Hormel Pepperoni, YES & The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
That’s Dave Allen (1936-2005) and that’s a 1965 VW 6-volt Beetle. It didn’t have headlights. It had glowlamps. I know because I owned one.
1911 New York City restored hand-cranked film, speed corrected and with an added soundtrack humanizes the populace a bit. A lot of interesting things happened in 1911, itemized here and here. Sheet music sales determined the popularity of songs and Scott Joplin’s rags were hot, like Treemonisha.
Hormel Pepperoni advertisement [h/t Calo]. I’m speechless. Let’s get out of here.
YES stood out a bit from the music of the 70s. Sure, they were art rock, their lyrics were inane and incomprehensible, they’ll make you out and out, but their music was killer.
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band was very underrated IMO.
Have a great weekend, folks. See you back here tomorrow.
