New Catfish Song

Here’s a lovely song that perfectly captures the haunting beauty of the catfish. Turns out one of my favorite artists, Townes Van Zandt was a huge catfish fan too! If you’ve never heard of Townes, he was a legendary singer/songwriter who has influenced just about everyone that came after him. Here he sings and plays acoustic guitar in the original "Catfish song". Watch out! If you like sad acoustic music, you’ll be hooked.

The song has a double meaning, but I tend to see the “catfish” side of it, not the “human” side. In fact, wouldn’t this be a better video if there was a catfish swimming in the background? I can also see an animation starring a catfish, with this as the theme music. There are many possibilities to ponder. For now, I just enjoy the music. I hope you do, too.


Heads Up Catfish Lovers!

Like any true lover, I’m always on the look out for catfish-themed merchandise for around the house and office. Over the years I’ve gathered an impressive collection of catfish chachkas, hand towels, and paper weights, but a true connoisseur can never have enough.

The problem is that most of the “catfish” products out there are actually frauds! Most searches for catfish merchandise will bring up products that feature feline’s head with a fish’s body (Get it? “Cat” + “Fish”? -> "Lame!"). Some people may find this humorous and punny, but when you’re looking for something authentically catfish, it sure is annoying, isn't it?

Well look no further! I’ve done the work for you, Catfish heads. Check out a few of my favorite authentic catfish products below.
