This song is getting some heavy play around here lately. The video is an argument in favor of AI art imo…

@Matt love me so UMO

[SKT]

@GraemeE me too… add another band you got me into

[GraemeE]

@SKT Ruben and Jake lived in Portland for a few years before the band started to take off

@GraemeE Just saw that.

I wasn't at this or I would've posted it in Live Concerts. Insane how great this is.

@flannel-slut Wonderful stuff! No mid riff’s, no face fillers, no scandal and er… no guitar lead?!
I’ve spent a fun couple of hours this morning listening to haku and learning about the meaning of the song title they cover here ‘Mono No Aware’.
My conclusion is that the world would be a better place with more haku in it!
I predict world domination!

[flannel slut]

@IH-GARY I went down the haku rabbit hole myself last night so good! ️niwa ️niwa ️niwa ️

@SKT Thought you might like this. Is that their original drummer playing in this clip?

[GraemeE]

@Jett129 i know it wasnt directed at me but I believe thats Glenn kotche (current drummer and complete savant in my opinion)

He has a distinctive mix of traditional and match grip if you look closely

[Jett129]

@GraemeE Thought he was really great,couldn’t take my eyes off him. Noticed his grip as well. Thanks

[SKT]

@Jett129 thanks for sharing and yep @GraemeE is exactly right. Love Glenn’s drumming. He came on board during the recording of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot in the early 2000’s I believe replacing Ken Coomer. I think he has a style all his own and it really shines live. Speaking of…I’m taking my teenage son to see Wilco next week here in Springfield! Will be his first proper concert and we both can’t wait.

@SKT I was lucky enough to catch the tour that Glenn and Nels Cline did in the mid 2000s - it was a full solo set (in a relatively small club) from each and then they did a set together

I can't think of many other percussionists who could keep my attention on their own for an hour straight

Midnight Generation from Chihuahua is like Daft Punk: Alive crossed with synth wave and an incredibly good time. Saw them in a shoebox last night. Really fun dance party. Catch them if you can!

This Eminem cover is nuts.

About 4 mins in and shit gets real. She is spitting fire. Love it!

Not the biggest Black Metal fan, but Emperor are fantastic

Immortal are also great, but they have the added bonus of unintentional comedy with some of the worst lyrics (and CD booklet photos) in all of metal

But nothing beats the proto-Black Metal of Celtic Frost. Some of the best art work in metal to go with their groundbreaking music as well
