Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) Vietnam. Apparently it’s a daily thing.

The .Gif Friday Post No. 810 – Blownado, The Weavers & Mabel Normand’s Demon

[Found here, here and here. The Mabel Normand clip was part of a damaged reel from the short film Won in a Cupboard (1914).]

The .Gif Friday Post No. 737 – The Best of The Bollards, Air Traffic & Takin’ It To The Cam

[Found here, here and here.]

Saturday Matinee – The Corridor Crew, Mad Sin, Lara Hope & The Ark-Tones and Moon Hooch

“Disclaimer: This video is a comedic parody and is not owned, endorsed, created by, or associated with the Boston Dynamics company.”

Yeah, but it could happen. Video is by the Corridor Crew.

Quirky vid, catchy song, and an f-bomb, Mad Sin plays “a combination of rockabilly, punk, white-trash blues and tongue-in-cheek sarcasm.”

Lara Hope & The Ark-Tones do the roots rock retro nicely.

Too cool not to share. Moon Hooch got stuck in a traffic jam in France and decided to make the best of it. Most popular Utoob comment? This:

*marches all the way to front of traffic jam
*four car collision accident no survivors

So there you go. Have a great weekend, try out this Superbowl Chili and lemme know how fast it goes.

The .Gif Friday Post No. 553- Chewy Tweet, Quack Tweet & Shark Snark Tweet

The above makes no sense without the sound up.

[Tweets from Twitter as if you couldn’t tell, and yes I cheated. Been busy in meatworld.]

Saturday Matinee – Cyriak, Zappa, Traffic & Aretha Franklin

Cyriak outdoes himself creepy-wise, with “Indigestion.” [Found here.]

Frank Zappa‘s final live performance (with backup by Pražský výbÄ›r) 1991, Prague, Czechoslovakia, shortly after the collapse of the USSR. Long intro, but worth the listen.

Traffic, 1971. We played their albums in college so often that if you held the vinyl to a light you could see through the grooves.

A great cultural icon passed on this week. She possessed one of the greatest voices in the business, singing and performing gospel, blues, R&B, jazz, soul and pop. Multiple generations grew up listening to her recordings, myself included.

What a natural. Only 22 years old in 1964, and she was already amazing. Respect indeed.
R.I.P. Aretha Franklin (1942-2018).

Have a great weekend, folks. See you back here tomorrow.
