repost from @natgeo Scientists are celebrating an adorable and remarkably well-preserved discovery—a 32,000-year-old sabertooth cub.
Mummified in the Siberian permafrost, this baby apex predator is almost perfectly intact, right down to its reddish fur. It's the first time scientists have gotten a true look at what these ancient animals looked like, as past findings only included bones and footprints.
Learn more about this incredible discovery at the link in bio.

With his characteristic vocals and equally distinctive guitar tones, Johnny Winter was the whitest guitarist in blues!
In 1968, Rolling Stone magazine described him in an article titled A New Beginning for Young Blues as follows: “A long-haired albino with a lazy eye who plays some of the boldest, most fluid blues melodies you’ve ever heard!”
Winter had this to say about his slide guitar performances: “I started playing slide guitar by listening to The Best of Muddy Waters. I also listened to a lot of Robert Johnson, Son House, and Elmore James. The only thing I knew about slide guitar was that they moved a stick back and forth over the strings with their fingers. But I had no idea how they did it, and there was no one around me who played slide guitar. I had to figure it out on my own. Everything I learned, I learned by listening to records—tuning, tones, everything.”
Winter’s rise to fame was also thanks to the recordings he made with his childhood hero, Muddy Waters.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE WALSH - Here’s to the wildman who sold Jimmy Page his inconic “Number 1” Les Paul and injected life into the Eagles when they needed it dearly. Operating out of Detroit in the early days, Walsh had been looking to put a band together ever since he had gotten out of college. Forming the foundation for the James Gang, Walsh got the opportunity of a lifetime when opening for The Who on one of their American tours, having already spawned a massive hit with ‘Funk #49’. The world took notice.
When Joe Walsh joined the Eagles in December 1975, they were already a well-established band. But then again, he was also a well-established solo star. Something clicked. Walsh helped restructure the Eagles, bringing a gritty rock edge to a group best known for laid-back, country-rock music. His first album with the Eagles, 1976’s Hotel California, became one of the best-selling in history. One of the most notorious partiers in rock n’ roll history (up there with Keith Moon), he let loose until he couldn’t anymore. Thankfully, Walsh is now completely sober and still touring to this day.
1. “In the City”
2. “Rocky Mountain Way”
3. “Life’s Been Good” (ft. Hiram Bullock)
4. “Turn to Stone”
Enjoy
repost from @bluesrockrevival Magic Sam performing “Magic Sam’s Boogie/Lookin Good” live in 1969. His guitar playing was very innovative and distinctive. He did a great job at blending rhythm and lead guitar producing some of the most unique grooves within his songs. Unfortunately, his career was cut short when he died of a heart attack in December of 1969. He will always be remembered for his huge impact on the electric blues⚡️

repost from @thelegendsofmusic Hole performing “Celebrity Skin” Live in Philadelphia in ’99
“Celebrity Skin” first came to life in 1997 during Hole’s hiatus where guitarist Eric Erlandson co-wrote the song with Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, whom Love later said provided the main guitar riff. Lyrically, the song features lyrics that have several literary references; the line “Oh, look at my face / My name is might-have-been” is directly lifted from the opening verse of Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s poem, “A Superscription,” (and also quoted in Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into Night) while the phrase “pound of flesh” originates from William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice. In an interview, Courtney had this to say about the theme of the song: “Once you’ve stood onstage bleating your schoolgirl poetry, are you going to stay there, when you have the power and ability to give yourself a platform? I mean, here’s the celebrity, and we all know it’s stupid and ephemeral, but why not foster it? Why not feed it? Because all that it will do is give the thing that has substance – the art – more power.” Upon release “Celebrity Skin” went to #1 on Billboard’s Modern Rock chart and gave the album a solid launch.
