Creationist viewpoint: God, the intelligent designer, has a sense of humor, and this is proof.
Pro-evolution viewpoint: This is the best argument yet for genetic mutation. No sane being would create a creature like this. Only millions of years of chance mutations would lead to this cat-like Buddha being full of strange chamed wisdom.

Tracklisting:
These Dancing Days - 'These Dancing Days'
Boppy eponymous goodness from what would seem to be the soundtrack to a montage during a new flick called Surf Party Tijuana. The fun ends when Mexican federales execute a donkey, that you've been riding on with a mujer you met at la farmacia.
(Btw, you can't convince me that it's not Animal on the drum solo in the middle of the song.)
Felinus Strangeus Wisdomus say: the Universe is infinite and plentiful and will soon provide you with another burro.
Ben Gibbard & Feist - "Train Song (Vashti Bunyan cover)"
The Dark Was The Night soundtrack comes strong on the multi-collaborational charity benefit tip. Here, Ben & Leslie add to the 'travelling on your burro across the desert to visit a lover who may or may not still love you' category of songs. All with little more than their voices and guitars. Lovely.
Felinus Strangeus Wisdomus say: the journey is the destination and the universe will provide regardless of whether or not Feist's love is waiting for her.
Leftover Cuties - 'Game Called Life' (HT: Lacy)
Playing at Venice Beach Wines this Saturday night. Pretty without being fragile. Shortcut description is that it's firmly in the Yael Naim strain of iSongs ads.
Felinus Strangeus Wisdomus say: Life is suffering. Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to sell you a burro.
Dyme Def - 'Rollin Stone' (HT: Lindsay@emoto)
Some of that old funky boom-bap. Includes the line "Like a Flinstone bowling ball"
Felinus Strangeus Wisdomus say: "Only live your life as it is, Not bound to anything.”
Social D - 'Ruby Soho'
Because it was playing at physical therapy this morning and woke me up a bit as Kirsten was torturing me.
Felinus Strangeus Wisdomus say: If a man who enjoys a lesser happiness beholds a greater one, let him leave aside the lesser to gain the greater. Especially if it involves catnip or 90s punk.
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - I Am Goodbye
Somewhere between 'Hello, Goodbye' and 'a Horse with no name'. Charming with 'hoooooo!'s from the good prince. In the video, BPB does no more than walk through LA and sing. We'd have put him on the back of a burro with a guitar in the same locales.
Felinus Strangeus Wisdomus say: whither are those that are comfortably bald in places and hairy in others, for they have much wisdom and compassion to the universe in exchange for a good scratch beneath the chin.
