We need more German music on the Sift. Danke!

Kazoo? that's a Melodica! There are a number of ukulele/melodica songs on youtube. Wish you could hear the uke better.

Definitely a fascinating place to visit. Even better--camp there (requires a short, <1 mile, backpack) and spend the night on the dunes. If there is a full moon, you can see for miles.

Answers questions I have thought about for a long time (and some I never thought to ask)

Couldn't they have at least colored the pumpkins orange?

Certainly this is *long (not no so long that I didn't watch the whole thing). Never tried one of these invocations, let's see what siftbot thinks about it...

So long as that isn't a form of self promotion!
Thanks.

A song my teenage son got me hooked on. Which I thought was cool.

Cleaned up a meth lab in Phoenix where there was a bucket of those things, including a couple that might have been bigger. There were videos showing them in use and the cops had them on the TV the whole time we were there, looking for "evidence" (there was a scene with several people snorting some white powder). Eventually the tapes were returned to the woman of the house, which must have been a little embarrassing.

Wasn't familiar with the song (and I heard plenty of ABBA back then), but there's a snippet there that is a lot more familiar (and on my iPod). Had no idea that was borrowed.

Ahh, memories of the early days of Prairie Home Companion...
"Walking the Beans" really meant something to me back then and it was one of the first songs I bought on iTunes.

ahh, the Carleton Singing Knights from my alma mater...
I prefer Sufjan Stevens' Chicago, but then I am not familiar with this song

Finally a video version of "Jerry's Maggot", my favorite chapter in a book called Tropical Biology. Jerry let it grow until it came out on its own...

Having been to more meth labs than the average person (around 300), I have to say I *never* saw a really clean house. Quite the opposite in most cases. Piles and piles of stuff everywhere.

Ahh, July in Nevada. These were the last US above ground tests and you might recognize Robert Kennedy as a witness.
