Saturday Matinee – Bruce, TXT, Robin, John Lee, and Elevators

Bruce Lee plays pingpong with nunchuck.  Awesome.

TXT Island, found at ZanyPickle.

Okay.  Back to the basics.  Here’s Robin Trower‘s “Too Rolling Stoned” from 1975.  There was a blues revival going on back then, but it was overshadowed by theatrical rock.

I was gonna jump to George Thorogood‘s classic cover of “One Bourbon…” but thought I’d look for John Lee Hooker‘s original. Found several on the Utoobage, until this jumped up:  “Hobo Blues” from 1965.  Judging by his odd fingerings, he’s got his guitar tuned to Dmajor, but that’s just a guess. (Hooker always looked to me like he’d been popped in both eyes during a bar fight.)

Since Friday the Thirteenth comes on a Saturday this month, here’s The 13th Floor Elevators, 1966.

This takes talent.  Unfortunately, she’ll never be able to duplicate that move.

This guy’s cheated death so many times it doesn’t phase him anymore.

No, I didn’t bother to run the post through babelflush, or the google translaughter.  I can only imagine what it says, and it probably has to do with ferrets, canned yams and batman underwear.  Since most of you are just messing around at work (I know this;  I read the traffic patterns) click the link and gimme a reasonable translation.
