I think we could all use some cheering up this weekend. Serendipitously, I StumbledUpon this, which was Stumbled by GallopingCat. This is only one of six on the cats listening to music page — you must must must go see them all:

Cat listening to Stevie Wonder:

I do, therefore, express my intent of bringing fame and fortune to 2 Finger Jester, whom I had not previously heard of. Nor heard. But hey — any band with musical cats has to be my kind of band, right?

Like 7 Seconds of Love, who offer this rather cheerful song (click the ninja kitten to go to rathergood.com to watch & listen):

I quite like this music video. It cheered me up!

For more cheerful critters, try:

• The Carnival of the Cats at Mind Of Mog
• On Sunday, the new carnival will be at The House of Mostly Black Cats
• Weekend Cat Blogging at Bad Kitty Cats 
• Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos at *NEW* Tuxedo Gang Hideout
• & Friday Ark at Modulator

Have a musical weekend!
