They want to audit 2020 results but only in large counties almost off of which Biden won. They won the state. This is like Trump whining after he won in 2016. It’s disgusting.

Biden is wrong to think Republicans will support voting rights
Republicans have made it very clear that they will suppress voting and make it easier to overturn elections. Biden is wrong to think Republicans will do anything to support voting rights.
Splatterfest at the Colonial Theatre
The Colonial Theatre (home of Blobfest) is holding Splatterfest on August 21st. The Colonial Theatre always does a great job.
The five films are: listed below.
I have seen them all on Blu-ray discs
National Hot Dog Day – 7/21/21
Covers: Sally Sue Brown
“Sally Sue Brown” is a 1960 Arthur Alexander song that has been covered by Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello. Second Hand Songs is a great site to learn about cover versions.
I think Alexander is the only artist that has been covered by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Dylan.
Covers: Every Little Thing
“Every Little Thing” is a lesser known Beatles song from 1964 that was covered by Yes in 1969. I’m sure there are covers of virtually every Beatles song and it’s smart to cover one where the original version is not as well known as their hits.

Three Japanese Vampire Films
Did you know there were Japanese Dracula films? I didn’t. Arrow Video has issued the Bloodthirsty Trilogy on Blu-ray. The films are from 1970, 1971 and 1974. Overall, they reminded me of the Hammer horror films without a standout performance like those from Hammer stars Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. If you like the Hammer films, these are worth seeing.
Covers: Connection
“Connection” is a Rolling Stones song on their 1967 album Between the Buttons. It was never a single but it’s an excellent brisk two minutes of rock.
There are several covers. I knew the one by Ramblin’ Jack Elliott from 1968.
The Automat
I remember the Automat which was made popular in the US by Horn & Hardart. The first one was opened in 1902 in Philadelphia. You put money in a slot in front of a piece of food, then opened the door and took out the food. The Automats are gone but the silverware is available as antiques.
A film on the Automat was recently released. It will be on DVD on 9/20/22.
update 10/10/22: I just watched the film and really enjoyed it. It brought back memories of my childhood in Manhattan.
Sad!
