Drive-by Truckers

I've been waiting for someone to upload this song - "You and Your Crystal Meth" - on to YouTube.

He looks so old

McCain naming a youngish woman (a mom, hunter, and fisher) as the VP nominee certainly seems bold. This pick is supposed to renew his claim to being a change agent and her right-wing credentials throw red meat to the party. But what I notice most of all is how this former beauty queen makes McCain just look old.

And it's like McCain just picked a new, even younger, trophy wife.

Alphabutt

The alphabet as seen through the mind of a kid. BB loves this, although I think he's a little unnerved it's an adult singing it.

Mike Birbiglia

I heard this guy on This American Life talk about his sleep disorder, amounting to something akin to extreme sleepwalking. He's also a comedian. Here's his short skit on Whiffleball Tony.

Built to Spill

Todd Rundgren

In a fabulous "fly-like-a-pheasant" outfit.

Nick Drake - Milk & Honey

I resisted posting his version of Summertime. All of Drake's songs are affecting, but this one stood out this afternoon.

They fade and die
And then I’d know
There’d be no others
Milk and honey
Where they lie

Bumper sticker

Seen today: "Who would Jesus bomb?" WWJB

Cloris Leachman

Roasting Bob Saget.

Jose Feliciano

A cover of "California Dreamin" performed on Soul Train. A bit different from my post of Eddie Hazel's version, but no less soulful. I'm happy to find other versions of this song. I love the song, but hate the Mamas and the Papas.
