Saturday Matinee – Buskers

Mariusz Goli “Improwizacja.”

The Buskerblaster is kinda cool especially if you’re a girl named Dylan.

A Capella is awesome, no matter where it happens.

Have a great weekend, folks.

The .Gif Friday Post No.334 – Softball Squishing, Miss Big Wheel & A Race Of Gerbils

[Found here, here and here.]

Anyone who’s ever owned a turntable knows that the last .gif has been reversed to make it look oh so much more awesome. Did I mention that we have an entirely bitchin’ Archive Collection of .gif animations? Hit it.

Tokyo’s Clothes Hangers Crows Nests

Conceptual Art installations? Nope.

“When I lived in Tokyo, I used to watch the crows take hangers from my neighbors’ balconies. (Hangers were used to hang out washing to dry.) The crows would work in pairs to remove the clothing from the hangers and then one would fly off with the hanger. I’d never seen the nests though.”

Animatronic spider is amazing.

Public Service Announcement. Please watch.

How to save an uprooted tree.

What’s in Marcellus Wallace’s briefcase? I had to axe Mr. Google for the reference, found that it has to do with a scene in the movie Pulp Fiction. Now that I know, this kinda makes sense.

THIS was a clever prank.

“I told my brother he had a bug on him.”

You can’t see The Great Wall of China from space, but you can see this.

Not sure what this means, but it’s kinda cool.

Saturday Matinee – Teeth, Shocking Blue & Postmodern Jukebox’ Greatest Hits Mashup

Teeth [via].

Shocking Blue had an almost invisible drummer, and here they are *ahem* playing their hit “Venus” in 1969. I never knew they were from the Netherlands until this posting.

The song’s a ripoff of “The Banjo Song” recorded circa 1963 by The Big Three (featuring a young Ellen Naomi Cohen, aka Mama Cass). They co-opted and renamed Stephen Foster’s “Oh! Susannah,” one of the most popular minstrel songs of the late 1800s. Fun facts to know and tell.
