Friday Five: phoning it in with contextless tweets

It’s feeling like a bang on the drum all day (video) kind of day, and you know what that means. More uninspired blog blather from yours truly. I’m totally phoning it in.

Today’s topic: Contextless tweets from the world of Twitter. Don’t try to read anything into this. Just go with it. Or not. Either way, happy Friday. Can I get a w00t w00t?

Friday Five: ‘Ain’t no cure’ edition

Five versions of the greatest summertime song ever, “Summertime Blues.” Thank the Internet deities for YouTube.


The original: Eddie Cochran. Hard to beat.


The Who’s cover, from 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. (Were you there, @markgr?)


Stray Cats, circa 1983. Their version was truer to Cochran’s rockabilly original.


A young Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, circa 1978.


T-Rex, 1972.
