This singer is fourteen years old. Fourteen!

I really like the video for this one:

I think I prefer this to the original. That doesn't happen very often.

That's like my favorite song to sing along with right now

Yep, that's a good one.:yesnod:

Guy's got an awesome voice.

That Blind Melon track is pretty groovy. The one you posted won't play in my location, but I found another that would.

Little G just saw The London Souls at Mountain Jam.

Donna the Buffalo. Pretty good Southern rock.

Love songy Swedish singer-songwriter indie-pop dude Jens Lekman.

"Jennifer called, told me about her latest admirer.
I said, someone should make a pamphlet called
'So You Think You're In Love With Jennifer'"

I don't know if it's so much 'good', or not, as it is...What's the word?

Intriguing.

Grass Roots fest is in Trumansburg (Ithaca) this week. Donna the Buffalo host the thing since forever.




Something from Watsky.

Hey Dana, I also enjoyed David's cover of S.O.S. My favorite cover by Disturbed is Genesis's "Land Of Confusion".

That "Land of Confusion" cover is fairly awesome.

Just fairly? I'd say both versions of the song equally achieve maximum awsomosity in auditory aestheticness. But Disturbed has the better visuals.

Recently, one of my Word Associations was the word "Sabaton", so, I figure it's only appropriate that I post a song from one of my new favorite Power Metal bands:

She's ok. She ain't no Cyndi Lauper tho.

The Monkees were manufactured, and that makes us think of the songs as being slightly inauthentic too. Except they were written by great songwriters. I love this original, rather unproduced demo version by Carole King. She wrote the song. Now the song is authentic.

Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul and make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray to places far away
I need a change of scenery

I've appreciated her more for her writing than her singing; but, that sounded good.

HOLY CRAP! - Vulfpeck had 75-year-old Bernard Purdie sit in on drums for a few shows this week. And what do they do but Kid Charlemagne. (Purdie did the original track in 1976, ya see!) This camera is focused mostly on Purdie (I'm thinking there's gonna be edited video of this whole event soon) and the great Joe Dart on bass, but that's fine... a legend, and a soon-to-be legend. Watch Dart move (he always moves like that, and it's the way a bass player should move). Watch Purdie love it. And my guitarists... oh crap, go full-screen and watch them solo from 2:15... and at 3:02 watch them fret each other's crucial note. And watch them play out the last minute. I'm grinning from ear to ear.

This feels familiar. ;) I wish that mic weren't in front of Perdie's face.

I crosspost, it's going to be a policy.

This was from a real high-quality camera and really high-quality mics. Torrented out the morning after...! I don't know who's responsible... unless it's part of a pro shoot and they wanted to capture that section of stage, and a better video is due later after it's edited.

Or it's just a lousy bootleg from someone with too much money and no talent. I dunno.

I bet you're right about more angles coming.

O M G

The next night, they did "Peg" with Purdie. And then, for an encore, they did "Mmm-bop".

Why would they play that, other than they are obviously having fun. Well, the article I read said that Purdie played on that song. But I doubted that. So I looked it up.

A SAMPLE OF A RARE DRUM TRACK PURDIE DID IN 1973 WAS USED ON THE SONG.

that is HILARIOUS!

You're such a weird fellow, ute.

Kodachrome...

Reminds me of this.

And then Joe Dart made it his profile picture. Said Dart, "A highlight of my life and a dream come true."

Just two guys having a ton of fun.

Purdie is one of the people in this world who is legit allowed to wear a T-shirt of himself. Since every sampled drum track out there is him, and he doesn't get the credit.

Brian rocks Japan...

That guitar would sound even better if it was red, blue or black.[/greendisliker]

I see Phil Collins is back.

tarheel

Brian gets better every time I hear him.

Best full screen.
 

I'm taking Minifobette to see her live in November.

She'll probably enjoy it from start to finish. I don't think I could endure an entire show of that. I like the videos in which Lindsey personifies in dance the instrument she's playing - long and slender; but, with curves and complementary body motions that echo her fingers on the strings and movement of the bow. She has a kind of dance to instrument relationship much like Enya has a voice to instrument relationship.

I'm not as thrilled with her themed videos in which her playing and dancing have to be adapted; although, I'm sure Minifobette will be wowed by those kinds of performances. They're all well done.

Another of the type of Lindsey performance that appeals to me ...

Personally I find it a little hard to watch because her form is terrible. I mean, really bad--her left wrist is completely wrong, her bowhold is weird... the first time I saw her videos I thought she was faking it to a backing track. Possibly one could argue it's more baroque, but I suspect it's just because it's the only way to make dancing around possible.

Less choreographed, less polished and more individualistic performers can have their own charm and be a nice break from the canned ones. I think that's part of her attraction. I doubt she'll remain that way for long though.

When I was young, this was my family's road trip music. I loved it.


Now, when I drive we listen to this. I'm not sure they love it.

Not knocking your taste in music, Sullage, but I would have leapt from the vehicle after a few miles.:lol2:

In the mood for something quiet, reflective, moody, autumnal with amazingly pretty and interesting chords?

Kids all jumping bonfires on the heath
Kids all jumping bonfires on the heath
How’m I going to get myself to sleep?

Late October sunlight in the wood
Late October sunlight in the wood
Nothing here quite moves the way it should

Laughing windows up and down the street
Laughing windows up and down the street
And the walls are closing in on me

But back on Vulfpeck, this jam is entirely about the bass and if you are entirely about the bass you will like it.



For the first entire minute of the song, Joe Dart plays nothing but straight sixteenth notes. (Actually, that's not easy by itself.) It's a trap. He's just setting the table for the funk bomb that's about to drop on your head.

Am fully on board.

Hey Jim, check this out. Girl covers the drums on Tool's Forty-Six & 2:



:devil:

Cool.

She misses a lot of fills, though. Check out smoking hot Meytal Cohen doing it properly:

Not trying to one up you, just that she is a bad ass and you can really appreciate how intense the drum licks are when you see her feet fly on the double bass drums.

:devil:

I've been trying to accept in my head how many thousand$ of dollar$' worth of cymbal$ tho$e young ladie$ have. Cymbal$ ain't cheap.

This comes on the heels of his old tyme effort. Nice work doctor.

In 1985, Philadelphia had its own punk band.

No band was more punk, and no band represented Philly more than this, in 1985. They were absolutely legit and captured something.

I always loved the song, and I love this version.

I've found the vocals Leann Rimes did, when she was still in her early teens, to be as charming as that pan flute version.

Lil Griff put that cut on our NZ travel playlist. :)

I'm not sure this is tiny, but it sure is good.

:thumbsup: authentic as fuck

The highest praise.
