Saturday Matinee – Action Park, Pool Painting, Wilfred, Lurch & Pink Floyd

Via Lemur King, the story of New Jersey’s “Action Park” is amazing. Anyone here have stories? Email ’em, and I’ll post them with credit.

Painting the pool.

This great video was blocked for a while. Gotta put it back up. Gotta.

One of my favorites from Pink Floyd’s “Meddle” album, and with that, we’re out of here. Have a great weekend folks, and be back here for more fun tomorrow.

Check Out This Hooker

Yeah, that post title is misleading, but stuff like that gets hits.

I don’t know why they didn’t replace the hardware instead of pulling a “I-Fixed-It” privacy hook, but it’s a nice graffito in any case. Arrrrgh!

Sculptural graffiti is cool. Painted vandalism is not. [Found here.]

Bad Attitude.

He’s already mad that he was punished for giving the cat a peanut butter facial, and now he’s upping the ante. Just primal human nature to take a bad situation and make it worse… kinda like the current administration. [Image found in here.]

Saturday Matinee – Harp Guitar, Graffiti Removal, Paint it Black, Black Betty

That’s a harp guitar, folks, being played by Andy McKee. This is the same Larson-Dyer version that I learned on; it was my great grandfather’s, and I still have it.  It’s got a wide fretboard with 6 strings and 6 free bass strings above (hence the “harp” moniker).  I’d never heard one played properly until I saw this video.

Okay as long as we’re still talking about painting…

RamJam.  Amazing one hit wonder, based upon Ledbelly’s classic.

Whoa. Meatloaf covers RamJam’s version of Ledbelly’s classic.

And, um, Tom Jones did it, too.  Whoa, whoa, whooaa…

Here’s Ledbelly speaking for himself.

Molluscan Graffiti

At least it’s not public/private property. I mean, snails don’t have rights, at least not yet.

(But Wait! They Do!)

Saturday Matinee: Reverse Graffiti

No vandalism here. Brazilian artist legally cleans grime for his images. The ending is a goddam shame.
