Saturday Matinee – Germs and You, The First Edition, Gunhild Carling & Elvin Bishop

Yankovic tweeted this out recently as a public service announcement.

The First Edition (featuring Kenny Rogers on bass & vocals) had their first big hit in 1968.

Gunhild Carling is amazing. According to Wiki, she plays trombone, bagpipes, trumpet, recorder, string instruments (such as banjo, ukulele and harp) and can also play three trumpets simultaneously.

So where do we go from here? Oh wait. I got it.

Haven’t heard that song since high school. Elvin Bishop had a few minor hits, but never got the recognition he deserved despite touring with the Allman Bros. (According to the comments on the Utoobage, I wasn’t the only one who thought the other guitar was Dickie Betts – it was Johnny ‘V’ Vernazza.)

Have a great weekend, folks. If you decide to go out, hoard me some, too.

Saturday Matinee – Tea Party, Neil Innes, Johnny Cash, Eddie Cochran, Weird Al

The Tea Party protesters are really getting out of hand. Here’s footage from 20 March 2010 in Washington D.C.
[Update: Oop. My mistake. Those aren’t Tea Party people.]

Neil Innes was a protester before you were a protester.

Johnny Cash’s snare drum is awesome.

Turn up the treble for this classic from Eddie Cochran.

I’m 16% behind Weird Al on this, and 84% behind him on this one:

Have a great weekend folks.

Sunday Matinee – To Our Non-Yankee Friends

Following in the footsteps of our Fearless Leader, I must apologize for yesterday’s post, as it addressed my fellow citizens while overlooking our friends around the globe.  To make up for this egregious oversight, here are some video picks for everybody.

For Nurse Myra, Phil, Archie & others in and from the land of Oz.

For Herr Eagle. [Vielen Dank für die Ausschreibung. Der Aufstand bewegt sich mit uns Ihre Pläne.]

For Chiqui and others. [Had a difficult time finding a funny video from Spain, as the Utoobage is undergoing some revamping. Video found here.]

The last one is for Rain & Metro and the rest of my friends from Canuckistan.
