I met a girl this weekend…

…and she was from the southern part of Texas. Okay, well actually Ft. Worth, but it still made me think of this song:

Cop it HERE.

Fattest Independence Day To Date

I have a great idea for all of you. While its smoldering hot this Saturday, THE 4TH OF JULY, dip your freedom bones in a cool pool, while ice cold American brewed beer and freshly roasted pork fill your belly all the while grooving to patriotic funk, soul and boogaloo at the BYT Fat Camp Pool Party. There are going to be so many cramps and yet no one will complain. We will be playing all our favorite summer, americana, freedom fighting tunes for 8 straight hours. What could be better.

Here’s a list of activities in store…

-Presidential Physical Challenges
-Eating Contests

-Truffle shuffle Contests

-BACON FLAVORED surprises
-Sparklers
-Red, white and blue outfit contests and more.
-Maybe we’ll throw some guns in there too
-More stuff we’re still figuring out, just trust us

Re: Clapping

I think Fatback just found a new hype man.

The Clapping Song

To get you in the clapping mood for Saturday, Shirley Ellis explains how to do the clap. For those looking for more clapping guidance, may I suggest this helpful video.

This is how I roll

Blam.

Via This Isn’t Happiness

Still Bill

Hand’s down one of my favorite musicians is Bill Withers (as expressed in my previous Bill Wither’s post). So you can imagine my delight when I discovered that the new Bill Withers documentary will be playing at Silverdocs on Thursday night. Here’s the trailer:

I haven’t heard any reviews yet, but if your a fan of Bill, this is surely worth your time. Tickets.

Here’s a track to get you warmed up: Bill Withers - Railroad Man (divshare)

Pig Paintings Appreciated… Again

I am in no way an art critic. But I know what I like. So I decided to highlight some pig art that’s up on the web.
pigart

In the latest edition of Pig Paintings Appreciated, I take a look at the painting above entitled “Study of a Pig” by Paul Doyle.

Now there is something about this pig and I can’t quite put my finger on it. It seems distant and wanting. There’s definitely a deep-seated desire in the eyes. It’s saying “why did you leave me” and “will I ever see you again”. Maybe this is a cathartic painting done after the Family Ties opening credits. Maybe it is just a simple pig painting. I think not. The gray canvas stirs even more uncertainty and emotional unrest. Looking at this painting prompts more questions than answers. Who are you pig? What are you all about?

FATBACK - Saturday June 20th @ LIV

Oh mama… it’s gettin’ to be about that time.

As always, at Fatback there is no cover, there is no dress code… just a chance to do it right.

What’s different is that this month the Fatback DJ’s have a very specific goal: to get every single person in LIV to clap in unison at some point in the night. We wanna tip our hat to the old days at Dahlak when there wasn’t a dry back in the house and the glasses on the bar would tremble from the percussion of our collective clapping.

So if you got the feeling, start clapping….if you see a group of people clapping, clap with them… four hundred people clapping to a soul song will be a hell of a thing to witness.

Let’s do it! See you there.
