"Fever" by Red Molly

Oh my! A song by a group named for a lyric from one of my favorite songs!

"Waiting for the next accident . . . "

Let's rock!!!!

Seeing Obama singing along is priceless. And Bonnie Raitt and Yo-Yo Ma rockin' out . . . . YEAH, BABY! Lenny nails it!

Plastic Cup by Low

Low has been around for almost twenty years, and they've got a new CD out called The Invisible Way.



This song, about drug abuse, piss tests, and our drug laws' meaningless self-importance, is a good snapshot of the CD's atmosphere. It's a dark, melodic journey, and well worth your time.

An utterly transcendent song

Way cooler than a through-the-radio iPod! This gives a real new twist to singing in your car.

A cat and a laser---endless amusement

Here's a movie from the holidays: my Grand Daughter playing with her new kitty, Bender, and a laser pointer. The fun speaks for itself.

D. C. Douglas does it again:

Voice over guy D. C. Douglas lays it out again; this time giving some tips on how to be a real asshole in your internet comments.

(Via D. C.'s blog)It ain’t pretty! Yes, life in the material plane can clog up your “soul tube” after awhile. Most of us will clean it out privately, with a good book, meditation, maybe even a vacation to the tropics.

Unfortunately, this new-fangled invention called the Internet (a series of tubes, I’m told) is changing this ritual. Now, people can log into any chat room, message board or blog and just simply blow out their tube’s gunk onto the pixel page.

I know, I know, this is nothing new. But since posting our Tea Party PSA on YouTube last month, I received a more intimate tour of the internet’s societal gunk-fest. It was 30 days of getting to know my fellow human being… and I have to admit that there’s at least 15% whose words left an oily sheen on my eyes.

The depth of ugliness and assumptions was so staggering, that I had to make a video about it! So, without further blogging what can be seen on video, here is our latest contribution to the YouTube world (rated PG-13)… Enjoy (and pass it on!):

I'm on a roll with the You Tube videos. Here's another fer ya!

This makes me happy in Paraguay!

A blast from the past (1987)

A fishing boat almost doesn't make it into Noyo Harbor in Fort Bragg, CA during a storm. Amazing footage!

That guy on the boat is one lucky s.o.b.! Although I guess he would have been luckier if he'd made it into the harbor a mite sooner . . . .
