    What I'm saying is that he's such a fucking dork, I can no longer enjoy his/their music. Was reading an article about Tina Weymouth which brought up the video

    When I happened upon that performance with him and Miley a few weeks ago I lost respect immediately. I dont experience too many real, actual WTF moments anymore, but that pairing was a strong WTF/instant turn off pulse for me.

    I was certain this thread was about Miley Cyrus.

    Yeah, I heard that too. I haven't decided if those are lyrics or just stream of consciousness. A hip hop vibe... but Jesus.. It's all her own thing. This might be a real shift. Have you seen the microtone girl? It's so odd as to be uncomfortable, but what she does is not easy...

    Sounds like something The Residents would have produced in the 70's, in their earlier days.

    I think her problem is that she plays to the original recording. So she's using the actual sound recordings from the records. It shouldn't matter though. She's not affecting their income or royalties in a negative way - she's actually generating revenue for them because the royalties are attributed to the artist anyway. Plus, she's advertising the music to potentially a new generation of fans.


    I think it's stupid to pull the videos.

    I did two vids for a tv show back in the very late 90's that were using Neal ..whats his name.."Old Man" guy..(fuck..can't believe I'm pulling a blank!?)...using the actual original tracks but doing a layered harmony to his singing, and they both got pulled for "CW violations", and then they let go of them and let them be public again. Actually, they were done about two weeks before 9-11-01..so late August 2001.


    I have a habbit/hobby of singing harmonies to favorite works. It's like practice.

    Love you, too.

    I don't know if this thread will have legs - but I watching a Jeff Beck video on YouTube called "jeff Beck goes crazy" and had a thought. My thought was that I never liked any of the music Jeff Beck plays. In fact, I can't stand his music and think it's boring-ass shit. I think he was a phenomenal guitar player though and he could get sounds out of JUST his guitar that no one else ever could. It's just that his music sucks ass.


    :whatevs

    I couldn't stand him either but LOVED his odd departure with Start Cycle. I still appreciate it.

    It's like listening to an average Brian Eno tune.

    I'll do one very soon. What I did upload to YT is actually a small scene in a corner of my studio. I used what is sort of a still life of things that have been a part of nearly my entire life and things older than me..heirlooms from before I was born.

    Should I post it?

    ETA:

    Nahhh..

    It's not a tour of the studio.

    I'll wait

    I love your space! I really like that couch and table, too.


    It's funny that you posted this about the same time I was in the bath tub, taking an epsom salt bath after a hard days work, pondering doing a new studio video tour, too. I just now came down to start messing with it.

    Mine is all padded out hodgepodge with stuff I mostly find dumpster diving.




    Proof reading above and those two too's look funny

    I hear valves needing adjustment and maybe a pulley with bad bearings on one of the accessories in a piece of shit Jag.

    I saw so many Cybertrucks driving around town yesterday. I saw at least 8. Only one was bare stainless. the others were wrapped.

    At one point I was behind a flat black one with blacked out windows. I was sitting about two feet from it for a very long time at a traffic light.

    All I could think of is how stupidly dangerous the aesthetic edges are to human flesh or anything else that collides with it.


    VERY DUMB DESIGN..and it's not even very crumpable, being STAINLESS STEEL.

    Even just bumping into the pointy and sharp edges can rip skin.


    Dumbasfuckallgetout.
