I still have the original vinyl album “ZeroTime”. Pioneering stuff. A bit raw by modern standards, but still…

I use to think Powerman was heavy metal and taboo. A friend called them Scifi.

I’ll admitt, this is a pretty interesting track to classify. During the intro you fully expect them to happily pack up and run for Grindcore territory once they’re done with the introductions, but then they actually scale it down, and it turns out that part was the hardest they get. And while that riff does have some core-ish quality it also isn’t completely amiss in a more classical thrash-metal arrangement which the rest of the song more resembles.
In the end I’d guess I’d put them somewhere inside a triangle with the corners heavy metal, thrash metal and metal core, though that might just be this one song…
Why taboo?

Taboo within the metal scene maybe?

So… that’s essentially an organ, I guess? Pretty wild. She’s certainly got the circular breathing down to a T!

This instrument appears to be the result of an unnatural relationship between a harmonica and a set of bagpipes. I suppose it has the advantage that, unlike the harmonica, you can’t pull it out of your pocket and start playing it next to me in the pub.

You would hate to get stuck in a pub with my Dad so, he has a full set on him at all times, one for each Key

I once read a memoir of a musician who played in US bars in the sixties. There was one bar proprietor who insisted on gatting up on stage and joining in on harmonica. He was something of a local gangster, and he was the guy paying the wages, so the band didn’t want to upset him by refusing.
Their solution was for the whole band to tune a quarter tone flat. As long as they played amongst themselves, they sounded fine - but when the bar owner joined in, it sounded terrible - and it didn’t matter what key he played in - it still sounded terrible.

I used to try to play harmonica…I can say if I tried to play what she is playing, I would pass out on about the third draw.

I somehow didn’t notice Sparks released an album this year and an EP, so making up for lost time
I knew about the Gorillaz Collab but slept on all of the above. My fault for not giving my data to the algorithm I guess

Went to see Mister Romantic last night.
It’s a stage show by John C Reilly where he sings old love songs, primarily from the vaudeville era.
He’s carried out on stage in a large steam trunker. He has no memory of what happened before, he just knows when the box is opened he has to put on a show. Then he goes back in the box…
Processing: 1000045822.jpg…
However, he doesn’t have to go back in the box, if he can convince one person in the audience who will love him… Forever.
The show is 50% audience improv while he tries to find that one person during and between songs. The audience member is handed a love card, representing what’s inside his heart. The prompt of rejection is contained within so that every audience remember would respond “I’m afraid not”.
Some of the funniest crowd work I’ve seen in a long long time, which makes each show a personal and special moment.
I can’t relay much of it well without context and the moment but he didn’t realise they weren’t docked seats and nearly took some poor woman out, which he immediately turned into a bit and recovered graciously.
Really felt like we witnessed something special, my dad even spotted Glen Hansard in the audience on the way out.
Near the venue, there is a pub that my Grandad worked at in the 40s so my dad wanted to go there for a pint before the bus.
Who should walk in but Glen Hansard. I hate bothering celebrities etc I’ve been in proximity to my biggest heroes on several occasions randomly in the street and I did my best to become invisible and not fan out.
My dad? Not a chance. He bothered poor Cillian Murphy once who was out with his extended family to celebrate the oscar nom at a restaurant.
So I knew what was coming next. Especially when John C Reilly and his band walked in
Long story short, I have two memorable photos I would never have gotten myself if my dad wasn’t such a social butterfly with zero fucks given.
I know by now, you cannot stop a senior citizen.
I figured you’ll all be seeing my face soon since I’ll be No Man Sky’s Next Top Model when the jacket arrives and I show it off, so here I be (and badly in need of a trim).

I see what you mean about you needing a trim. The guy on the right could do with his beard cutting, too.

Nice to see people out enjoying themselves. You make me feel like such a recluse.
