Just in time for Oktoberfest. [h/t Nancy H.]
I’m speechless. I hope Archie McPhee got some royalty bucks from this one [via].
Ten Years After was one of my favorite blues-rock bands before I even knew what blues-rock was. Alvin Lee was killer.
Yeah. This. I never quite knew what the song meant, but I still like it [found here.].
Have a great weekend, folks, beware of liars, & we’ll see you back here tomorrow for stuff.
Amazing. The contents of clay cylinders found during the excavation of ancient Babylon is evidence that soapmaking was known as early as 2800BC, and these guys in Nablus are still doing it the ancient way, by hand. Why?
Nice animation that must have taken a while to make [via].
Fishing with John (with Japanese subtitles). From the Utoobage comments: “The problem with other fishing shows is that they are too polished, too normal. And they don’t have enough Tom Waits.”
Reminds me of “The Fishin’ Musician” series featuring John Candy.
Now for something completely different.
I don’t know what Fishbone was yammering about here, but I like the vibe.
As long as a tune was good, I never paid much attention to lyrics, but sometimes, years later, I found that the songs I liked a lot weren’t about what I thought they were about at all.
Have a great weekend, folks. See you back here tomorrow for stuff.
Kyoto Tachibana High School Brass Band, November 23, 2017 Rose Parade National Commemorative Parade at Fushimi Osuji Shopping Street.
They memorized the music. They memorized the choreography. They stayed in tune while jumping around and not breaking teeth, and they also stayed in perfect formation. What happens to them in private if they miss a step or crack a note? I’m still impressed [via].
Dušan Kastelic‘s The Box [via]. Reminds me of Lazar.
The Mendes Harmónica Trio blows “Rock Around The Clock.” Check out that double-decker Hohner on the left.
James Cotton (1936-2017) was one of my all time favorite blues harp players. Have at it.
Have a great weekend, folks. Be back tomorrow for stuff.

The audio clip dates to 1921: “Don’t Tell Your Monkey Man.”
Tim Brymn & His Black Devil Orchestra were an all African-American 70 piece musical unit that represented the 350th Field Artillery Regiment during World War I. Tim Brymn’s band was described at the time as “a military symphony engaged in a battle of jazz.”
Not sure why, but this kind of stuff fascinates me.
Egg-breaking machine complete with egg-breaking porn soundtrack found here.
I ran across Paul Whittington‘s Android 207 a coupla years ago. Seems to fit.
Tom Waits‘ self-accompanied masterpiece “Clang Boom Steam” also seems appropriate.
From the Utoobage description: “The iconic video was created by Gerald Scarfe initially as a backdrop film for when the band [Pink Floyd] played the track on its 1977 In the Flesh tour.”
From the Utoobage comments: “Imagine having to wait 40 years to watch your favorite band’s official videoclip.”
Have a great weekend, folks, and don’t forget that astronomy is gonna happen tomorrow night.
“First name is Mister, middle name is a period, last name is T” [via].
Whoa. What’s that? Click on it to find out.
(Don’t worry, it’s not an advert. – Bunk)
Fruit noises [via]. It’s what my insides sound like at 3AM after eating the good stuff at 6PM.
The Beat Farmers was one helluva fun bar band, and “Blue Chevrolet” was one of my favorite roadtrip songs. I don’t recobanize the lineup except for the Jerry Raney lookalike on vocals and rhythm guitar, and it appears to be a tribute concert at the Belly Up Tavern in 2013. The legendary Country Dick Montana passed away in 1995 while playing drums on “The Girl I Almost Married.”
Never heard Country Dick?
This one’s for you, and so is the next one.
Mongolian folk metal blues band The HU is badass killer. Nope. Not gonna mess with them at all [via].
Have a great weekend folks. See you back here after the earth rotates 360 degrees.
