fun stuff on friday...

well, a bit of fun at least, with a touch of something with a bit more, uhhhh...
gravitas - ?

first up, from the wonder that is Bifurcated Rivets (along with a sidelong glance in the direction of El Stumperino) we present to thee Jazz Ukes. Be sure to enjoy a lengthy perusal of all the offerings there at B.R., there is Much Linky Goodness.

yestidday, ourowndarnedself was walking around all morning with Bobby D's Ballad of a Thin Man as constant interior musical accompaniment, so whilst enjoying some moments of quietude here at the j - o - b, we cast out some lines into the murky ether and hauled back in a couple of yummy things to pass along, firstly The Hype Machine where we found an Elliot Smith cover of Bobby's tune, and that happy accident led us to link for site where much more wonderful musical linky-ness resides, Ryan's Smashing Life. Good Stuff, Maynard!

okay now, from Esquire online, the Cynic and Senator Obama;

alright you other coasters, we here on the left one salute ye and wish you a marvelous weekend!
