A 7-Tuba Pile-up

Nod to the NCM

What is the "blues"?

Howlin' Wolf answers.


Note the potato chip bags in the "cupboard."

Nod to Dutch Boy, who clearly knows more about music than picking baseball teams.

UPDATE:  A partial plagiarism list for Led Zeppelin songs, from blues greats, from the comments for the video above:

Zepp's plagiarism is actually well documented: 
Lemon Song: Howlin' Wolf 
Whole lotta love: Muddy Waters 
Killing Floor: Robert Johnson 
Moby Dick: Bobby Parker 
Bring it on Home: Sonny Boy Williamson 
Hats Off: Bukka White 
Custard pie: Sleepy John Estes 
Nobody’s Fault But Mine: Blind Willie Johnson 

And Led Zepplin plagiarized much more than that. Howlin' Wolf was able to sue and get compensation but most did not.

Angus has in the past discussed the overt and unacknowledged plagiarism of other white "supergroups."  It is rather appalling.  That people got so rich covering songs about having nothing.  And the people who actually wrote the songs about having nothing, the songs that made people rich, those writers ended up with nothing.

Magnets in Your Ears

I was trying to think if I knew anyone who would do this.  The answer is "Yes."



Nod to Angry Alex, who is one of the people who is now going to do it.

Does PJ Carlesimo have relatives on the Milwaukee PD?

I only ask because Latrell Sprewell somehow got taken to jail for the offense of playing music loud in his own $%#$ house!

I always thought Milwaukee was cool, but whatever Spree was playing, the Po-lice were not playing:

"Sprewell, 42 and a graduate of Washington High School, was booked into the jail about 4:15 p.m."

I guess I could see it if he was blasting "Call me maybe", otherwise, WTF Milwaukee?
