Go find your 3D red/blue glasses for this one (or turn off the 3D and watch the 2D version).
Roots reggae with The Mighty Diamonds, live at Channel 1 in Kingston, Jamaica. Nice harmonies.
The Skatalites‘ classic “Simmer Down,” has great audio but a so-so video. So what, I like it.
And we’ll wrap up this babozo with The Supersuckers‘ “Born With A Tail.” (Some NSFK language.)
Have a great weekend, folks, and be back here tomorrow for more fun stuffage.
Leon Redbone’s version of “Polly Wolly Doodle.” According to Wiki, there’s no secret meaning to the song, but here’s a verse I’d never heard:
“Behind the barn, down on my knees,
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day;
I thought I heard a chicken sneeze,
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.
Oh he sneezed so hard with the whooping cough,
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day;
He sneezed his head and his tail right off,
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.”
I suspect that the song predates The War Between The States even though the popular tune is played in ragtime. So let’s play some ragtime!
Yep. 1980s hits played in ragtime. There’s something wrong with piano players who can pull off stuff like this (actually, I think there’s something wrong with piano players in general). Must be a subconscious and deep-rooted jealousy thing just because I can’t do what they do.
And with that, we’re done. Have a great weekend, folks. Be back here tomorrow for more fun.
Great video worth watching. Pure awesome. [via]
Remember “Zezu” Zidane’s infamous headbutt at the 2006 World Cup? He’s running a training camp now. Here’s some more of his dickery.
In 1986, this was state of the art computer animation. Here’s Pixar’s “pencil test” of the most recognizable early computer animation of all time.
In 1988, Brian Jennings’ and Bill Kroyer’s “Technological Threat” combined digital animation with Tex Avery’s classic style. It was nominated for best animation short (but was beat out by Pixar’s “Tin Toy”).
So now, let’s fast forward to 2011. Computer animation is at its peak with this example of awesome. I love it.

And with that, have a great weekend, folks. Be back here tomorrow for more fun.
Giant Isopods! Yay! [via]
Sure, it’s amateur Claymation, but it kept my attention for the pure and simple oddness of it all.
Talking Heads were one of the premier punk bands out of CBGB’s, even though the punk genre (gawd I hate that word “genre”) was coopted by others who trashed it and gave it a bad name in the late 70s.
The Jolly Boys sing Amy Winehouse’ “Rehab” [via]. I gotta find out more about these guys.
Let’s see. Got four videos up, and since five is ideal for subliminal reasons, let’s roll one more for the road.
Awesome combination of Lady Day and Satchmo. Have a great weekend, folks, and we’ll be back tomorrow.

Folks, many of us who use WordPress noticed recently that our posted .gif animations won’t animate once posted, even though the animations work in the “Edit Post” view, like this one:
The .gif file above and the one I posted below are from the same file, but the one below runs. The solution is easy… unless you have several hundred .gif animations already posted on your blog, like we do. I hope WP fixes the glitch. TechTalk continues below, after the break.
Quick! Run and tell WordPress!
Meanwhile, here are a couple of Buttheads.
NOBODY can play the jukebox like Brando.

Jimmy Jones’ “Handy Man” cracked me up when I was a tad. I remember it as the “Comma Song.”
Del Shannon came a long way from 1961’s “Hats Off To Larry.” This song made it to Number 9 in November 1964.
This is one of the prettiest songs the Stones ever did, not that they were ever known for pretty.
And because my computer has been reborn and hasn’t thrown up in over 24 hours, here’s a repost of the late great Country Dick Montana & the Beat Farmers to sum up my current mental outlook.
Full screen is cool. [Found here.]

Comment found on the Utoobage:
Wooow! It takes a certain level of 3rd world engineering to pull off a demo that is usually only possible in CARTOON PHYSICS!

Classic version of Chuck Berry’s classic.
Classic verison of Bob Marley’s classic.
Yawkin’ Foo some people summertime…
Interpret it as you like. Found that here.
[Cool video found at Ivan’s Place.]
This one’s been around, but I found it again via the Divine Ms. C.
The Howlies had an excellent video of “Aluminum Baseball Bat” that was pulled from the Utoobage. They’ve resurfaced with this new one that’s ALMOST as good as their original.
Demetri Martin is Steven Wright minus 30 years, but with a guitar. The Question and Answer Song was improvised… (I’m certain that I posted some of his stuff before. If not, let him know.)
Who? I suspect Harry the Hipster. (Thanx for the fin, Feng.)
Thinly veiled political commentary follows.
Steely Dan was (is?) one of those bands that Bunk enjoyed listening to but never bothered to buy their albums. (Note that the band took it’s name from a stimulus package described by this guy.)

Couldn’t find a video of Talking Heads’ “The Swamp” but this’ll do. Hah.
Obama’s congress in action. Watch what happens to the U.S. economy.

On a lighter note, Happy St. Valentine’s Day!
