But I didn’t feel I should deny you the opportunity to decide for yourself. Thanks to Pitchfork for calling this to my attention – and Nick Cave , ... Share on Facebook

Happy Easter! It was hard to make an Easter playlist, but I managed – though I had to go back in time… Gene Autry, Easter Mornin’, 1954 Gene Autry, Sunny the Bunny, 1951. Rosemary Clooney, Eggbert The Easter Egg, 1952 Rosemary Clooney, Peter Cottontail, 1955. But then there’s the funk groove of Bugs Bunny  - ... Share on Facebook

YouTube video isn’t able to be imbedded, so just click here to see some groovy chicks prove they can be groovy without 6 strings- they only need Duck Tape and black light.   And you should know more about these expressionistic artists ...
