Saturday Matinee – Spider Psych, Wanda Jackson & Ubizmo’s Ocarina

Spider face-off [via].

Wanda Jackson was an early rockabilly star / rock and roll pioneer with recordings spanning over 50 years, 1958 – 2012. REALLY.

Ocarina virtuoso Ubizmo performing “Tam Lin (aka Glasgow Reel).”

And with that, we’re out, as we wait for our old pc to come back from surgery after a debilitating bout with Mr. Stoopid. Have a great weekend, and we’ll be back regardless of Mr. Stoopid tomorrow.

Saturday Matinee – Static Electricity Safety, Slide Trombone, Dancing Hard & The Superbs

And there you go for another edition of The Saturday Matinee. Have a great weekend, and we promise you lots more stuff.

Saturday Matinee – Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, Big Brother & The Holding Company, Roomful Of Blues

Grace Potter and The Nocturnals performing “Treat Me Right” at the 8×10 in Baltimore, MD on September, 14 2006. They pretty much nailed the Big Brother & The Holding Company sound.

So here is Janis Joplin with BB & The HC  “Summmertime / I need a man to Love” at the Holllywood Palace Oct. 26 1968.

Roomful of Blues is a great band to see live. Here they are in 2010 with Big Joe Turner‘s “Boogie Woogie Country Girl.”

That’s it for today. Have a great weekend folks.

Saturday Matinee – Rocket Booster Ride, R.L. Burnside, Jeff Beck & Tal Wilkenfeld

I like the soundtrack. [via]

RL Burnside‘s “Let My Baby Ride.” I don’t usually post “slideshow” videos, but this is a good ‘un.

Jeff Beck with Tal Wilkenfeld on bass playing “Nadia.” Nice tune to round out a lazy Saturday.

Have a great weekend, see you back here tomorrow.

Saturday Matinee – Rodent Gravitron, Tedeschi & Vaughan, and Ray Charles

2 Gerbils 1 Wheel is the rodent equivalent of The Gravitron. [via]

“Let The Good Times Roll” – Susan Tedeschi with Jimmie Vaughan & Double Trouble, from Austin City Limits, 12 January 1998.

Crispness is clumping and the geezer’s getting fat. Here’s Ray Charles singing Mel Tormé‘s 1944 classic “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire).”

“Tiny tots with a nose full of snots” is my favorite line in that song. Although it’s been said that Barney loves Fred, Merry Christmas To You.

Saturday Matinee – Pigeon Pong, Axe Cop and Jonathan & Darlene Edwards

Pigeon Pong. [via]

New Axe Cop animated series! (If you don’t know why Axe Cop is pure awesome, you haven’t been paying attention. CLICK HERE and follow the links.)

A fun holiday song (that Bunkarina named “dafuq?”).  Watch for the possum.

Have a great weekend, folks. There’s more awesome coming to a blog near you.

Saturday Matinee – Didgeridoo, Drums, Piano & Music Theory

How to play the didgeridoo.

How to play the drums.

How to play piano.

How to sing a Christmas Song.

Now all that’s left is to figure out how to get you back here tomorrow. Have a great weekend.

Saturday Matinee – Frog Payback, Armadillo Song & Red Nightmare

Froggie payback in less than half a minute.

“I Wanna Go Home To The Armadillo.”
I’ve heard that song so many times without knowing the words, let alone the source. It’s the theme song to Austin City Limits, performed by Gary P. Nunn and Jerry Jeff Walker. (Oh and by the way, unless you’re sporting functional longrider hats, y’all just look silly.)

Red Nightmare is a must watch. Anything featuring Jack Webb is by default automatically awesome and true. [via]

Have a great weekend, folks. More great stuff is coming up, whether you like it or not.

Saturday Matinee – Imelda May, Jimmy & The Rackets; Ron Levy & Ronnie Earl; J. Geils, Duke Robillard & Gerry Beaudoin

Imelda May is way cool. That’s her version of  Buddy Holly’s “Looking For Love” which was also covered by The Stray Cats. It was never covered by Andy Tielman as far as I know, but here on The Saturday Matinee, one vid and three links just don’t make the nut.

Yep. That’s Jimmy & The Rackets as if I had to tell you, but now I’m torn between two more vids to post. I’ll resolve the dilemma by posting them both, back-to-back, because each of them made me smile for different reasons. Have a great weekend folks, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow.

Helicopter/Camera Synch. [via]

Happy Shining.

Big Splash.

BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughan & Etta James at the Ebony Showcase Theatre Los Angeles, 15 April 1987, with The Wicked Wilson Pickett‘s “Midnight Hour.” (Check out the amazing background of Nick Stewart, founder of the EST linked above.)

Great way to wrap up this edition of The Saturday Matinee. Have a great weekend folks, see you back here tomorrow.
