Am I the only guy classic rock enough to have noticed that Earwig winner pathless gave his mixtape a title swiped from Jim Morrison’s “An American Prayer?” I can’t be. Not that his selections have anything whatsoever to do with The Doors. Only the Bowie and T. Rex tunes are even in the same temporal orbit. I think what I dig the most about this mix are the perfecto transitions from one song to the next. Give it a listen.

This extremely blustery day has brought makes me hum the Winnie the Pooh song about the weather. While you clean the grit out of your teeth and off your contact lens, enjoy these less hazardous wind-oriented activities safely from the comfort of the indoors.

While this may not be news to anybody but me, I was recently directed to Craigslist’s “Best Of” category. And, let me just say, it’s far more interesting than searching for endtables. The first entry, “Hideous, Mean, Saggy-titted Cur” makes the accompanying picture far more understandable, and frightening.
Scientists have revealed the latest new animal in a long string of previously unknown species discovered in recent months. The picture reveals all life cycles of the animal, beginning when the adult drops an egg sack which then hatches into hundreds of tiny, spider-like babies. Over time, the babies grow through several unusual stages before reaching adulthood and beginning the cycle anew. “It’s really quite a remarkable picture,” observed one scientist’s father. The recent discoveries will, no doubt, have a profound effect upon our understanding of the natural world.
