Addendum (since I spent the last hour doing this for you, the masses), all of the above shoud be live (or staged live) clips.

Consider this a sorta monkey-swap, until Fes gets up and organizes a new one.

I think it may be time for a swap.

That Fishbone thing is from Back to the Beach, no? One of my favorites.

When I was a kid, I had an enormous crush on Annette Funicello. "Back to the Beach" was one of my all time favorites. Why-o-why-o-why-o did I ever leave Ohio?

Also, my first girlfriend made me an Annette doll out of a Barbie, plus she made Mouseketeer ears out of felt. When my wife threw it away recently, I had a hard time explaining to her why I was so mad that she threw away my doll.

Also, I watched a whole bunch of Edie Brickell and New Bohemians videos on YouTube yesterday.

It made me happier than I could ever explain.

Also also: it made me indescribably sad to find out that this video of OK GO dancing on treadmills was actually the band and that this wasn't just some homemade effort.

Awesome. Thanks for these! I never have the patience (or the memory) to look for good stuff on YouTube, and thus this post makes me happy, and reminds me that I need, as Axl says, just a little patience.

Also: Frank Zappa's first TV appearance, on the Steve Allen Show in 1963.

Thank you, ufez.

I had a helluva day yesterday.

Jesus. You were right about it being a slow news day!

I'm so glad Logan's ok. HAve the effects of the tranq worn off?

At the risk of turning this into a Zappa thread from which I'll never emerge, brother could *play*...

He's groggy, but he'll be fine. I may die of embarrassment, though. It was on three TV channels and on the radio that plays the Reds games - during the game!

Better than having a cat stuck in the walls of your bodega. That makes NY news for about, oh 10 days straight.

There's video on channelcincinnati.com now. Limited time only!

Aw, hell. Here I am blathering about Frank Zappa and not reading the comments. Hooray for Logan!

Frank Zappa is just as interesting as my sweaty ass.

I (a Zappa fan) beg to differ.

Mr. Tizzie could have a career reading books on tape. What an impressive voice.

That guy that went in the drain pipe, however, is clearly insane.

*shudder*

Ufez, can I buy one of those fine shirts?

Oh, and speaking of buying stuff, I'll buy tickets if anybody wants to join me at Tall Stacks in October. Wilco, baby!

Wow! That's one hell of a lineup. I count at least 25 acts I'd love to see. Is it only one stage at a time?

This is tempting...

I've missed Big Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys at least three times in the past year. It's looking like I'll be in San Francisco that weekend, though.

And indeed, you may buy your very own Whiplash shirt here.

And why all the fuss over Tall Stacks? I know you're going to be shaking that ass at Scribble Jam this weekend.

So who wants to swap? I promise, no songs about death this time. Only bunnies and cheerleaders.

dead ones.

Scribble Jam, whoa. At Top Cats, a club that smells lots worse than the drain Logan was in. Pretty tempting, but I might just pass.

Vidiot, I don't remember how they set the stages up last time. There were multiple venues, but all within an easy stroll, and I think they staggered the start times.

And the boats are pretty cool, too.

Will someone please put "You're Famous, Baby" by Nicholas Tremulis Orchestra on a swap disc?

Like Wild Bill de Kooning.

I would love to do a swap, but I'm having a baby next week.

Well, not me, but, you know...my lady friend.

Next Tuesday, August 15, which just happens to be the 13th anniversary of when she and I had our biggest fight and broke up when we were in college. It's also the anniversary of my brother's car crash.

So, you know...we could use some good karma if any of you have some lying around.

Ok, and Kafkaesque makes great swap CDs, so you bitches should be all over that shit.

I'm kind of averse to the whole parenthetical huggy crap that you see so much these days on the internet, and hoisting a drink is pretty much foreordained, do I'll just kind of wiggle my left ear in your general direction, CC. But good luck. From what I hear the second ones shoot out like a M2OA1 Bazooka shell*, so you may need catcher's gear.

Also, I'm all about the swap like a bitch on Kaf's shit, so long as the deadline for shipping is nowhere close to Labor Day.

*yes, I totally looked that up on Wikipedia. Sod off already.

CC, I'm pretty sure I can muster up a Santeria ritual for good luck. I'm going to need some of your hair, though. (And not the "private" hair you included with your last mix CD.)

Oh man, that Tall Stacks thing looks good.

Tangentially related: I saw Ryan Adams on the street the other day. His hair really is as dirty as it looks in photos.

I think the Santeria may clash with the Hoodoo my grandmother's cooking up. Plus, she'll be using a scrap of my foreskin, which I believe trumps pubic hair. I'll have to check the chart.

Pretty remarkable that your grandma saved your foreskin all those years, and never used it to flavor up a pot of red beans and rice.

Dana, maybe we should have Tall Stacks be my birthday?

All the guys I'm dating want me to shave down there

Did someone say "Swap"???

Ah, Boddhisat-Fes, returned to us! Yeah, let's swap. I leave for Japan in three weeks, though, so I crave alacrity.

"He sees little hairy children.

I'm in for a swap now that my cd burner is working again. Finally.

Whenever I heard the name Ryan Adams, all I can think of is Bryan Adams. I can't help it. Also, I don't know what Ryan Adams looks like or sounds like. So I just picture and hear Bryan Adams. And laugh to myself.

Cuts like a knife...yeah, but it feels so right.

I always thought Bryan was saying, "It's a cock-suckin' night...and it feels alright."

Ha ha, that reminds me of a friend of mine. She thought the lyrics to "Summer of 69" were:

Me and some guys from school
Had a bed and we tried real hard
Till we quit, till we got married

That would have been a much better song.

"Humans set him up to be a little misfit" ... and his only sanctuary was 9622.net.

Dammit, I never mailed out mine from the last swap. Possibly the one before.

I suck.

But I'd like to this time, really and truly.

"Travel & Leisure" was the newest magazine in the waiting room at the blood bank today, so I carefully perused it, and I learned something. These are two good cheap-airfare-finding sites:

Kayak
Sidestep

Y'all can book those Tall Stacks tickets now. I've got plenty of free accomodations and I'll buy the music tickets.

Remember, your loved ones cannot miss you if you never go away.

I'm going to the Bahamas for New Year's. Y'all are welcome to join in on the fun.

Oh, baby.

Hummers and McDonalds and children. It's like the unholy trinity for MetaFilter. I triple-monkey dare anyone to post it to the Front Page.

And, uh, on topic...so Fes? We swapping, buddy?

You know who made a good swap CD? Marquis. What happened to that guy?

He's got a really good music blog.

Mutants! (and a broncomonkey)

A note about posting images:

We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys wearing dresses or programming for Linux. But posting images that reside on someone else's server is considered by many to be bandwidth theft. Our thoughts on the matter, along with some solutions to the problem, can be found here. Thanks.
