I love this sound.
One hot riff makes it. I used to dance like that, too.
Do the stroll ’70s style. That’s some hilarious stuff.
Yeah, I heard the original today, and it made me smile.
1:40 “Lemme put this hamburger down.”
Have a great weekend, folks. Rock on wit yo bad sefs.

In 1947 the doctors said that Charles Kasling had only a short time to live unless he moved to a hot, dry climate. First he moved to the Death Valley area, and in 1960 he left for Yuma, Arizona, where Driftwood Charley’s World of Lost Art was created.”
Social Security records indicate Charles Kasling was born July 10, 1901 and passed away in March of 1985, a testament to desert living.
Unfortunately most of his artwork has been destroyed by vandalism and the elements.

They had feathers, were about the size of a turkey, didn’t live in the Jurassic Period and were about as intelligent as a board with a nail in it. The Truth About Velociraptors.
These Velocipedes were large and fast, but they were not predators.

Vulfpeck has a cool funk/jazz groove, reminds me of Weather Report, except these guys make ridiculous “I’m About To Pop A Nut” faces while they jam.
Lettuce [aka Lettuce Funk] combines retro funk with retro future funk, and it works.
Jump to 5:08 for the Kansas Joe & Memphis Minnie / Led Zeppelin funk mashup. (I hear some of Zappa’s “I Am The Slime” in there, too.) Lettuce even had the cojones to cover Curtis Mayfield, and they did him right.
Poor video quality, but the audio is good. Here’s Curtis Mayfield’s original “Move On Up” (with German subtitles).
Have a great weekend, folks, and Move On Up wit yo bad sef. See you back here tomorrow.
No idea how this works, how to steer, how to brake, but it was touted as a safety bicycle for people unable to handle a penny farthing. I’m guessing that if you came to a quick stop, you’d be either thrown face-first onto the pavement, or you’d rock back and forth until your lunch suddenly appeared on your lap. Once you started pedaling, the same rocking thing would happen again with the same result, only messier.
I want one.
This wide ride fit in very few parking spaces, and on the road the margin of error was slim. That’s why you see so few of them anymore. Looks like the snow pack is up to the railing at this resort, so the snowbunny on the left must be about 9-feet tall, too.

That’s amazing. A cardioid is an anti-parabola. I never thought of it that way.
I used to do similar doodles, but nothing like hers. Draw a square, divide each line with dots, draw curvy lines top to bottom and right to left, then connect the diagonals and the result is a 2 dimensional wavy cloth. Or you can do dog-chase doodles to do spirals, but those need graphics to explain.
Amazing. Now I wanna see him do it with a Zippo [via].
Amazing. Now I wanna see him do it with meat [via].
Amazing. Now I gotta get up offa that thang.
Amazing R&B vocals featuring Lillian Reyes. I love this stuff.
Have a great weekend, folks. See you back here tomorrow for more really important stuff.
