As a follow-up to the violent mantis vs. monarch butterfly struggle witnessed in my driveway last month, my sister-in-law sent me this from a recent National Geographic issue: Mantis vs. Hummingbird. A quick googling and it seems that this is a common battle in nature!

mcglinch: Hot Rod Turtles

Was talking with my sister-in-law yesterday and she gave me the update on my 4-year-old nephew’s new turtle, Henry (or Henrietta as it may turn out) - a near-road-kill rescue by her husband. I threatened to send my nephew a paint and decal turtle decoration kit.

VHF - Video (via HolyXTwilight13)

Way back when there was a Friday Record Party one of our regular wife & husband contributors was Mulunker and her husband Rob.

Uploaded with plasq’s Skitch!

Today, Mulunker sent me this video of the very popular Philly suburb/West Chester local 80s band, VHF. That’s Rob in the target T scowling on guitar.

God help you finding any info on the Google about the very SEO-unfriendly band, “VHF”. It’s out there somewhere…someone needs to put them in the Wikipedia.

Album of the Day: Franz Ferdinand - Blood

Just picked this up from the Chester County library and it is a very good background coding/writing/database-loading rub-a-dub groover. Enjoying it more than the earlier 2009 album that it’s based on. Posting it for BPMc3 in case he’s up doing more writing tonight.

Album of the Day: The Knack - Get The Knack

Was at long-time-Feed-The-Ogre-friend Lester’s house a while back and “My Sharona” came on his mix on the back deck. There was a one-hit-wonder comment and I defended the honor of the entire “Get The Knack” album. I made him a copy and just heard from him today:

While I had listened to it w/ half an ear shortly after you passed it along, I had some quality time alone in my car w/ my iPod yesterday and gave it a good once over after a long day. Totally sweet and great driving music.

This is one of those quintessential summer albums for me. It’s best listened to riding the handlebars or book rack on your friend’s beach cruiser on the streets of Ocean City, NJ at the age of 15 or 16.

But I guess your cubicle will do as well.

It’s hard to pick my favorite tracks but will go with:

Oh Tara - Selfish - Maybe Tonight - Frustrated

Free Amazon.com: Highschool Hoodlums: MP3 Downloads: The Datsuns

New Zealand’s The Datsuns have a few things going for them:

- they open this song with a digeridoo

- they are named after the former Nissan company, makers of such classics as the 240Z, one of my favorites from the 70s

- they rock hard in a garage with cool cars:
