Prompted from a post on the DCS Update thread
“It’s time to get medieval. I’m going in for guns.” …they just don’t write romantic lyrics like that anymore!
Holy crap, I saw them on that tour. You’re really hitting my Hipster side hard.
Quite the mix of sounds…Indian, some dub-step in there, strings, (African?) drums…
I’ve seen String Cheese Incident several times (and they’ll actually be at Floydfest this summer), and they’re great fun in concert:
And I’ve only recently discovered Beats Antique, but I’ve managed to catch them three times in concert in the last few years, and those are equally fun shows, especially if you’re there with somebody who will dance. Lots of dancing at all their shows, for obvious reasons.
Apparently the two bands are friends, and have wanted to collaborate for a while, which makes this even moew awesome. Plus, that video was from Red Rocks.
Didn’t quite catch that…,your cat interrupted you…yes, she was awesome…was there something abut a band too?
Bruh. Got a new Youtube channel to follow now.
Definitely check out the other two videos in that series.
I have a strong dislike / prejudice vs electronic music, but that just opened it right back up for me, thanks!
The intersection of live instruments and electronica has gotten more and more diverse in the last decade, and it gets fascinating some of the directions it’s going. Looking at you, electroswing and neotango.
Still this is music as engineering. Like bach was more of an engineer than a musician. It’s cool, and even has a little soul (especially the bit done by the asian dude) but it comes nowhere near living persons performing on analogue instruments.
I like almost any sort of music, as long as it has soul, as long as it’s real. This is interesting:
As is this:
Or this:

as long as it aint:
because that **** oughta die in a fire.
Since you posted some Nahre Sol… I really enjoyed this video from her. I’m just starting to dig into all the content she has posted.
That lady is a freakin’ genius. The thing she does is not easy. It almost sounds like proper blues she’s playing.
What genial about it, oozing virtuosity, is that she’s out of her musical comfort zone and comes so close to getting it right. She’s at home playing chopin or beethoven in a fancy living room, not the seedy whiskybar ambiance of the blues.
Why am I saying close to getting it right instead of just nailing it? Well, she plays too perfect. Blues, and by extension rock (and therefore also metal and punk) needs to be a little rough around the edges. It needs those blue notes to be a little false, dissonant, just a smidge out of tune. Because that’s where the raw emotion is heard. The bending of a string, hammering on those keys that are just a tad out of tune. Making the thing cry or curse or wail.
Anyway I love her and her technical stuff is way the F over my head 
Wow! All those years playing the saxophone, I was really playing the Blues! That explains why all my music teachers and band directors were always so “blue” after they heard me play! 
(my Blues sunglasses)
Yup just like there’s an audience for hyperviolent torture pr0n horrir movies, tyour saxophone style just never found its right audience 
I listen to all types of music. Most of it is crap, but there are gems in every genre.
But since you mentioned the blues…

May have already played this, if so apologies but I really like the concept.
