Blog Rules. . .
Golden rule #1 for blogging if even if you don't have anything to say, post something. This is the unfortunate case today, so I have a total waste of time for you dedicated readers.
We all remember the Badger song, right? Well, lucky for all of you poor lost souls, there are other mindless songs out there by the creator of the Badger ditty. Isn't this what the internetweb is all about?
Introducing the Narwhals. . .
. . .just don't let them touch your balls.
And introducing some current event weirdness. . .Somalian pirates.
And lastly, for you old school types, The Badgers.
Have a nice day! Especially so now that you have redundant, but oddly pleasing songs repeating in your brain. You're welcome!
When Jesus Goes Wrong. . .
Satan calling?
Thursday Funny!
Man, after all the political hijinks in Washington yesterday, I think we need to cleanse our palettes with something non-political, cute and entertaining.
What better way to do that than with a video of an attacking cat?
Yeah, I've seen it a million times too, but it makes me laugh and smile.
And The Winner Is. . .
Here is the video I prefaced in the preceding post. Witness the, uh, well, I'll use this word: fallout.
Sean Hannity? Polly wanna cracker? Cause you're a madman!
A Question. . .
Linder asks, do I think I can get Bobcat, Wildcat and Black Kitty to get along like the animals in the video below and the resounding answer is: a cold day in hell.
More Inauguration Music. . .

Razor Boy - Steely Dan
While You Sleep. . .
I find the music. . .
End Of The Year Music. . .
Unless things change around this sorry excuse for an office, it's gonna be music all day here at the Toast. Let's start with the Dan!
Green Earrings - Steely Dan
Comparison. . .
. . .I was just about to bitch about being securely attached to the phone all day. It just never stopped.
Then I saw this and remembered war is truly hell.
UPDATE: And sometimes, it's kinda funny.
Friday Night Music. . .
How do you spell "solid?"
K-I-N-G-'S X
Friday Afternoon Musical Interlude. . .
In light of Barack Obama's historic speech about nothing, here is some Soundgarden as requested by Nils. Appropriate I think.
Flute This!!
Another fantastic performance by Ian Anderson and the men of Jethro Tull.
Songs From The Wood
Jethro Tull
Hey Jupiter. . .
If you could liquefy honey and gold, emulsify it, purify it, concentrate it, pour it in the human form only to watch it return in the form of talent, beauty and music, this would be the result.
Captivating.
Babylon Sisters. . .
One of my favorite, all-time musical compositions. Babylon Sisters by Steely Dan from the 1980 release Gaucho just has no comparison. I don't even know how to desribe it. Soulful and undulating. I bet you didn't know music could undulate, did you?
Silly wabbit.
Here is Steely Dan from a 2003 performance:
And here is a man who calls himself "The 70's Guy" and his jazz guitar interpretation.
Phenomenal!!
Freaky Redhead Alert. . .
Redheaded women are dangerous. Period.
See what I mean?
Been A While. . .
since I posted anything about Üçnoktabir. I noticed a while back that the bass player of the group went missing from some of Üçnoktabir's appearances, at least what you can find on YouTube. Anyway, the sister of Melis has informed me that the bass player has since returned to the band after a stint in the military. One would assume that they have mandatory military service in Turkey. Thankfully, he's back.
So, to celebrate the return of who is now short-haired Cenk Turanlı, here is an older great live performance of Ölmeden Ünlü Olsam by Üçnoktabir and Cenk Turanli's hair.
The Keys Please. . .
. . .opening piano parts like this one from Jethro Tull's Locomotive Breath makes me kick my own butt for ever giving up the piano.
I can still bang out The Pink Panther by Henry Mancini pretty well though.
