New Year’s Rockin’ Eve in Times Square NYE 2013. Yeah. Psy did that.
Gangnam Style was the first-ever video on the Utoobage to surpass 1 billion views.
New Year’s Blues
Glenn Crytzer and his Syncopators do the Jazz Age thang with
Some killer riffs in Carl Verheyen‘s New Year’s Day.
Here’s something a bit more traditional, and if your brain done got all swolled up from last night’s festivities, maybe just an .mp3 will do:
Auld Lang Syne, Royal Scots Dragoon Guards 2010
Boston Dynamics did it again – and that’s not a typo in the title – the robot is named Spot.
Straight from the Caribbean Osnabrück, Mr. Hurley & Die Pulveraffen (the Powder Monkeys) are German “grogstars” playing Irish melodies with a rock pirate theme. (A powder monkey’s job was to bring black powder to the ship’s cannons.) Yo ho and shalalala.

It’s that time of year when we set our calendars back, so have a great three day weekend and we’ll see you here tomorrow.
How ’bout something primal? Nothing better than Scottish tribal drums and bagpipes. Clanadonia is what it is, and it’s loud. “The Last of the Glaswegians” is going to be stuck in my head for days.
Mickey Hart & Planet Drum perform “Fire On The Mountain” (24 July 1999, Rome, New York).
Amazing speed cellist Tina Guo jams it with Joe Bonamassa on “Woke Up Dreaming” at Carnegie Hall (June 2017?). Takes them a bit to get in synch, then it soars. Guo’s take on Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” is fun, too.
Have a great weekend folks.
