Misterfixit, I admire you but am glad of the sizable geographic distance between us. It's the gun and violence thing that gives me considerable pause. 

Promise me you'll use your powers only for good. {#War}

BTW--having done some surveillance work, what's your take on the NSA systems that have recently come to light?

It's somewhat more up-tempo than "Kashmir" and doesn't have the same stresses and accents, but there is a faint Zeppelin influence.

Nah. That's a Colt Anaconda pimped out with an old red dot scope. Presumably she is shooting .44 special since the gun barely moves even though she is holding quite dainty like. (At least that is what I see since the original link went dead and I had to find a different pic showing her shooting a rather large revolver. ;)

Not many people have had the opportunity to admire Bill's heel or  arches, just his tendoncies.

If you did, it would pretty much guarantee your colleagues'd never bother you again. Of course, you might end up spending lots of time in the company of the guys with the white jackets and the rubber truck... {#Bounce}

Here are the lyrics:
she walked through the park in the dark
her best friend was her own heart beat
with every little step she'd take
she'd get one step closer to leaving

sitting in her kitchen at night
she listened to the washing machine
just wishing that she could leave
but there were so many loads to clean

she could hear it in her head sometimes
like the change that she was saving in a jar
and the chains on the front porch swing
were creaking like steps in the dark

one day soon this is all gonna end
one day soon maybe it'll all begin

He'd tell it to her all the time
he was the best thing she'd ever see
oh he was stomping up and down the hall
but she could still hear the washing machine

she could hear it in her head sometimes
like the change that she was saving in a jar
and the chains on the front porch swing
were creaking like steps in the dark

one day soon this is all gonna end
one day soon maybe it'll all begin

what a fine mess
pretty fine indeed
but it's just too much for me
for me and my washing machine

Take Led Zepplin's "Kasmir" back beat, add a funky guitar and baby-girl vocals with clever lyrics, and here you go...

I saw her last fall, short set at a little festival.   The girl is great!   Most of her songs are funny like this and she is so cute and what a unique voice.   I enjoyed her!

Well... this is pretty interesting right here...

The natural evolution of blues over the past 80 years sure is a nice thing to watch continue.
