Your Saturday Night DJ Party is Gettin’ Eclectic

Tonight I’m rocking the wheels of steel WordPress blog software to bring you some tasty funk. This weeks’ theme is… well, there is no theme. I’m hittin’ you with some jams from a bunch of different genres, because we’re crazy like that around here.

So come on inside the club. (No sneakers, hats or gang colors!) We got some UK grime, electro, a bit of hip-hoppy dubstep, some D’n’B, Florida breaks, hipstery goof-electro, 90s French disco-house and Baltimore bass meets Gucci Mane. Plus whatever else I feel like adding later. Holla.

Feel free to bring your own tunes to the party. Just remember, DANCE MUSIC ONLY. If you post Barry Manilow, you will get the gasface.

Saturday Night Drive-In

Happy Saturday! It’s been a while since we have done a Saturday night movie so tonight I have a special treat courtesy of the Internet Archives. This is The Legend of Boggy Creek, a classic horror docudrama from 1972. The movie examines the legend about a swamp monster in rural Arkansas. The movie has appearances by a number of the locals who had claimed to see the monster and also contains reenactments of alleged encounters with the creature. It’s actually pretty damn creepy. The movie is an obvious inspiration for later horror movies, most notably The Blair Witch Project. The movie spawned four sequels including one that was so good it was featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

When Hillbilly Hand Fishing Goes Horribly Wrong

My husband woke me up and told me this story. I asked “Is that an urban legend?”

“No” he replied. “It’s Arkansas”.

In an eerie scene that reads like a cross between “The Hangover” and “Deliverance”, Brett Cummins, a television meteorologist got himself in some hot water. He had to chat with police on Monday after he woke up in an empty bath tub with a dead man who was wearing a dog collar. When Cummins woke up, he ran screaming out of the bathroom and threw up on the carpet. A witness, who lives in the house, said he, Cummins and the dead man had partied and used drugs the night before. Cummins has been released.

This is the inevitable result of mixing Hillbilly Handfishing and Meth. When questioned about the relationship by police, Cummins said “He’s got a pretty mouth.”  Comment.
