SLOW HOT WIND

It's Sunday morning, I have to go to work in two hours, and I'm listening to music. Just wanted to share. First, Sarah Vaughn's unbelievably gorgeous version of a Henry Mancini tune.



Next, Ry Cooder with Eldridge King, Bobby King and Terry Evans:



And in complete contrast, ladies & germs, Weird Al!



About that last one: I'd just like to point out that an appreciation for The Star Wars Holiday Special does not necessarily make one "nerdy". I believe that show's cheesetasticness can best be appreciated by ironic hipsters, not nerds. Ironic hipsters who will complain that the show suddenly gives the Millennium Falcon an automatic weapons system. Ironic hipsters who will point out the first-ever appearance of Boba Fett. Ironic hipsters who will loudly proclaim to a room full of disinterested people that this show can't be considered canon. Ironic hipsters who really, really like Star Wars.

Definitely not nerds.
