Ukulele Loki and the Gadabout Orchestra's "Prague"

Things I like include:
  • Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kije Suite
  • Klezmer-inflected clarinet playing
  • Antique slide projectors, including stereopticons
  • Surrealism
  • Nostalgic tributes to 60s psychedelia

All five of these can be found in this video. There are also some pretty girls whose appearance could be described as "sexually available." I like them too.

Recent posts on Los Thunderlads

I've posted some "Periodicals Notes," in which I brought up topics like the role of humiliation in perpetuating cycles of violence, how it can be funny when people are named after colors, and the economic thought of Wilhelm Röpke. Cymast put up a long post with several items related to spiders and short ones about a very simple way of helping the homeless and a very complicated way of cracking an egg. Blog founder VThunderlad posted about a stir-fry recipe he likes and a piece of candy that looks like Charles Foster Kane. LeFalcon continued his series of "Things Richard Dreyfuss Might Like" with a picture of the cover of a nineteenth century pulp novel about "Spring Heeled Jack."
