James Gang was always amazing. It's kind of sad how the Eagles would butcher that song when they tried to perform it live. I mean I know they were all stoned out of their gourd, but Henley's incompetent drumming just ruined everything. Clearly he was no Jimmy Fox. Proving that -- as Mojo Nixon...

How do you feel about ukulele covers of Slayer and Cannibal Corpse? That's part one, goes on for like five videos. Absolutely hillarious. I'm into some strange stuff myself. Ever listen to In Extremo? Metal covers of traditional folks songs in dead languages using a mix of period and...

'60's psychedelic and experimental was the bomb. Though I still remember laughing my tuchas off when Zappa showed up in "Head" alongside the Monkeys. Cream, Yardbirds, Standells, Iron Butterfly, Knickerbockers, Chocolate Watchband, Count Five, the Seeds, Deep Purple... Dr. John!!!

... which reminds me of one of my favorite "Texas Rock" bands: Omar and the Howlers. Some folks say it's "Captain Beefheart sings Creedence Clearwater Revival"

You're gonna go there, gotta add some Captain Beefheart. Funniest description I ever heard: "Isn't he the weird guy that used to hang around with Zappa" Weird compared to Zappa?!?

This is why the no talent auto-tuned hack Billie Eilish getting a Grammy was a crime against music.

I'd second Barracuda for a nomination, but have to go with "Floor and the gang"

This is one of the MANY reasons that the "crotch rocket" lean forward biking position doesn't work for me. A lot of people will focus on the hand position -- and yes it's important -- but if you feel like you're putting enough pressure on your hands it's worthy of mention, you're likely off...

And that's where the handwaving magic comes in. Same as the whole "hydrogen economy" thing where whilst hydrogen is the most common element in the universe, getting it pure costs more energy than you get out when you burn or run it through a fuel cell. Could be worse though, could be the...

Ooph, we barely got two inches here in Keene between the two snowfalls the past week. Today it's 37, it hasn't dipped below freezing for four nights, and the roads are bone dry... paths are slushy but manageable. Just got back from a quick zip to Walmart and back across the college campus...

Oh, and for those of you who were fed lies in grade school about yellow/blue/red... The proper mixes in terms of colour purity for mixing paint/inks (reflective media) is magenta, yellow, and cyan. Magenta + yellow == red cyan + yellow == green magenta + cyan == blue When working with light...

Exactly this, but one can't just look at frequency as the colour spectrum perceived by a healthy human eye isn't 100% just frequency, but equivalent luminance. Again to borrow from web accessibility where we have decades of research, and prior to that research into display technologies, we have...

You mean a dusting where you're sitting there going "when is it actually going to snow?" That's less than an inch! The plows won't even bother coming out. They'll just sand and salt.

I had that problem until I got the advice of wearing something that opens in the front, and moments before "setting off" cracking it open a bit, and once fully heated up having it wide open. It's your high core temp causing that, and if you get that down, you avoid that issue without...

Even before I had an e-bike rvery Saturday from May through July I spend the weekend pedaling around just looking for yard sales. I don't even plan a route or look it up in the papers, I just get on and go. You can always tell the people with shopping addiction as they have a yard sale every...

If your core temp is skyrocketing whilst the extremities are cold, it's not too much gear, it's the wrong gear. I've been cold weather riding my whole life -- FFS I'm from Ski country -- and I see people make the same mistakes over and over again. First mistake is thinking that a big heavy...

My least favorite has to be the glorified rubber band approach. It's bad enough they barely stay in place, go out of whack on every major bump, and are just plain cheap despite showing up on some rather expensive options... but the fact any yahoo can just come along and walk off with it? That's...

Really? In what way? Care for something more than "wah wah, is not!" Are you saying that Sanyo or Sceptre manufacture their own panels? No, they're LG or Sammy. Do you think Apple actually makes "Apple Silicon?" Or AMD? Or nVidia? no, that's TSMC... well, nVidia has occasionally used Samsung's...

There are four flags!!! Oh wait, no... that's lights. A lot of people are WAY too worried about how they look. And a lot of it being painfully arbitrary. That's the same garbage I got from the skinny tire spandex crowd about my old cheap 3 speed cruiser because if its "big heavy frame". You...

I saw someone on my local paths with a red flag on a post off the back of their e-bike, and we got talking at one of the little bench stops about it and he said it really helps traffic see him. I've seen it before and am thinking on adding it to mine. I'm definitely adding two to my cargo...
