Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme performing Black Hole Sun
(via http://raincoaster.com/)
Yes, really. Here is the immortal Vegas lounge duo Steve and Eydie putting their silken throats to that heroin-laced grunge classic Black Hole Sun, from the album Loungeapalooza. And this time no chipmunk effects.
And by the way, Eydie’s got a blog.
Audio of this culture-clash train-wreck below. Click arrow to play and lyrics below:
In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguise
As no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
The sun
In my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer stench
neath the black
The sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And Ill hear you
Scream again
Black hole sun
Wont you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Wont you come
Wont you come
Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm wind
Tired friend
Times are gone
For honest men
And sometimes
Far too long
For snakes
In my shoes
A walking sleep
And my youth
I pray to keep
Heaven send
Hell away
No one sings
Like you
Anymore
Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just
Disappear

Fields of Gold - Sungha Jung
This kid is 11 years old. Not his compositions or songs (except for a couple), but the fingerstyling is complex and pretty astounding. List of Songs/Vids.
Another 10 Year-old Prodigy?
Carry On My Wayward Son performed by a 10 year-old on some kind of organ. Plays all parts, but I think the drums were pre-recorded. Smattering of applause at the end is kinda sad..

Inside Ceiling of Arcadia, OK's Round Barn
Truly an impressive landmark on Route66 in Arcadia, OK. You have to see to believe the craftsmanship involved. This pic does not do it justice. Free admission! Website link here.

Clunk the CRUNK!
A Sunday Tradition! Pop at Pop's! Three weeks in a row and a new inductee - Austin our quickest sprinter, barely beating 2.0 in a race to the fence and back at 28 seconds. 2.0 was close behind with 29 seconds. 3.0 held his own in one leg to the fence at 17 seconds! We love this place even though a bottle of pop is $1.99. about 10 times as much as I paid for the same thing at their age (ouch!)

John McCain Breaking Campaign Finance Law that HE WROTE!
LATE BREAKING: DNC to FILE SUIT TO COMPEL FEE INVESTIGAT'I"ON "INTO MCCAIN:S PUBLIC MONEY"
Original Post:
Joe Sudbay of AmericaBlog and Reverend Lennox Yearwood delivered 32,000 signatures to the FEC, cosigning the complaint filed last Thursday against John McCain and his campaign. It took three reams of paper and 1,400 pages to print it all out.
This morning at a McCain event in Alexandria, McCain was introduced as a "hero" because of his work in campaign finance reform. Right. The guy who helped to write the law now doesn't want to obey it, just because there's nobody around to enforce it (thank you George W. Bush for gutting the FEC). The McCain campaign's defense is "Obama did the same thing," but that's a crock. John McCain applied for public financing. Obama never did. John McCain was accepted into the public financing system. Obama never was. The chairman of the FEC, David Mason, says McCain is therefore still in the system and bound by its limitations, but McCain is just ignoring him.
It goes to McCain's character. He believes the law is for someone else, not for him. He's chiding Obama for not agreeing to public financing, even as he's 4 million dollars over the $54 million spending cap imposed by the public financing system.
For Thee But Not For Me. The John McCain story.
You can still cosign the complaint here, and you can tell your friends about it here. We're now at 34,350 signatures. We're gonna keep doing this until somebody starts paying attention.
