Continuing from Friday's post on giving bloggers the the Gift of Traffic this holiday weekend, here's the latest.

Avedon Carol of Sideshow has picked up the Traffic theme and found some great links to some of the better versions of some Traffic Songs.

"The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys" [Update: Live version, Pt.1 and Pt.2.]

Live Winwood: "Dear Mr. Fantasy".

... more here.

Larry Johnson at No Quarter on Glasgow Burning, Run for Your Lives . The right-wing blogs and CNN are all London, all Glasgow all the time. It's like Dear Mr. Fanstasy, give us a terror attack so we can tell the world we're right to be in Iraq. Mahablog thinks so too.

More...

Jamison Foster at Media Matters: Why pay the bigot when you can get the bile for free? Skippy has the Penrose cartoon on Hardball and the She-Pundit.

Marcy Wheeler at Next Hurrah is all over the lesser-redacted appeals court decision in the Scooter Libby/Judith Miller - Matthew Cooper subpoena case. More from Marcy here.

Give the gift of traffic this holiday weekend when blog traffic is bound to decline. It's free. All you have to do is visit your favorite blogs so they register your presence.

Feel free to put links to your own blog posts in the comments -- so long as they are in html format (long urls skew the site and I can't edit comments on Scoop, I can only delete them.)

I just posted some more Shakespeare blogging.

My earlier entries are here and here.

Unfortunately, the older posts have a bit of link rot. Thanks for doing this Jeralyn.

I can't remember what album these are on, but in my opinion the best Traffic songs are "Glad" and "Freedom Rider" with honorable mention to "John Barleycorn Must Die". Can't help out with links either - but "Glad" and "Freedom Rider" stand with Zappa's "Peaches en Regalia" as rock songs that have a melodic and chordal structure equal to the best of classical and jazz. "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" almost qualifies. And then of course you can talk about the white album, some Byrds stuff, and some other things. But those two Traffic songs embodied what Traffic was about, with the very unique R&B/gospel piano style of the young prodigy Winwood, great sax lines, and a jazz trio-like rhythmic drive. "Back in the High Life" was a pretty good song for Stevie too.

You have no idea who is responsible for the attacks.

Where is OBL?

Are you implying that he is responsible.

Probably.

Let's authorize the use of nukes and go blast him out of the southern mountains of Afghanistan.

You up for it??

nuke 'em!

Not surprising coming from a person who doesn't believe in due process, freedom of speech or fair trials.
