algroth Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 I was getting really into VDGG a few months back They're an awesome band. What's curious about "Theme One" is that Peter Hammill is usually a big component to the band and that's one of the very few (perhaps the only? Can't recall any others) instrumental tracks they did, back in the 70s anyhow. When the band broke up, Jackson, Evans and Banton made a band called The Long Hello, largely instrumental, and at least to me there was always something missing in that lineup, it all felt pretty stale and by-the-numbers. "Theme One" however is a great track, nice lead melody but also there's a drive and energy to it that is precisely missing from that instrumental side project. Good stuff. ^ If you insist That's new to me! Cheers, I'll check them out further in the near future. My Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/alephg Currently playing: Roadwarden

algroth Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) [battles] God I love this band, whole album is a trip. Curiously one of the band's founders is the son of Anthony Braxton, one of the most out-there saxophonists I've come across: Edited November 16, 2018 by algroth My Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/alephg Currently playing: Roadwarden
algroth Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 ^ If you insist That's new to me! Cheers, I'll check them out further in the near future. Like the vast majority of Polish bands, SBB is mostly unknown outside of Poland. Yeah, I know some Polish acts in jazz, folk and modern classical, but few and far between when it comes to rock. I suppose out of the rock bands my favorite's so far been Siekiera, though that's a whole other business from SBB. 1 My Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/alephg Currently playing: Roadwarden
SonicMage117 Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 What's worse that a Superbowl performance? A racetrack one, worth the watch! And this girl is really good. I always appreciate when disabled people possess more talent than the non-disabled. It's quite humbling, tisn't it? Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother? What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest. Begone! Lest I draw my nail...

SonicMage117 Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 It's strange but anything is better than Eminem so here... This guy actually raps his lines to bars and doesn't mumble rap so at least it's worth listening to. Although, I hate the rainbow teeth personally, wierd hair and costume too.

Gorgon Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 There is actually a guy threatening his phone with a gun in that 96 whatshisface video. I mean, props ?
