That's the guitarist from King Crimson. I'd imagine that's why it showed up.

TIL my grampa is still alive, was in KC, and still loves a solid pair of knockers.

Singing this tune to the fiancee, but she's a filthy heathen so I had to find it and play it for her. And it was even FUNKIER than I remembered, so here you go. For the younger folks, this is how we learned stuff in the 70s.

Reminds me of Herman Li getting banned on Twitch for playing his own music.

In the spirit of covers, here's The Weeknd's Blinding Lights in various styles.

Holy carp so over the weekend I learned about the majesty that is Diablo Swing Orchestra. This is my brand of crazy. Fiancee hates it (mostly), it reminds her of when I put my music on random.

Love discovering a new band through Rocksmith CLDC!

[Engels]

I know this isn't particularly fresh, and anyone who is already a fan of Lamb of God knows this song, but as a recently converted fan, this premier track on their latest album is fantastic on so many levels. Even their story telling in the video is better than 99% of stuff out there in my not so humble opinion.

Also, in case someone still doesn't know of these folks, Mushroomhead's latest hit is also a total earworm.

[Sky]

I wasn't a huge fan of the original version of All Within My Hands but holy shit is this version intense.

Love love love the The Howard Stern Show audio engineers.

Yes they do. Supposedly they have a 4th album in the works.

I mean, most of their music doesn't work for me, though I can see why it's good. The vocals and genre are things I get picky about.

But that track and a few others are absolute slammers.

Was talking to someone about Iain Banks and ended up finding this album by the Ian Gillan Band, Clear Air Turbulence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQR9BY2nVyY&list=PL8a8cutYP7frTI3wmkzJXPhg67P9e6n8C

I'm not a fan of synths but holy crap is there some amazing music on there. Not at all what I expected when I saw Gillan's name!

[Tale]

Somehow... Rick Astley turns out to be amazing.

[Cadaverine]

Mastodon - Teardrinker  Latest video from their upcoming album.  Really liking what I've heard so far.

[Sky]

I love it, except the solo section. I keep hoping their continual progression as a band will lead to them figuring out how to jettison those clunky, forced sections that push you out of the zone. There's almost a sense of relief when they come back to the main riff, like when the klaxon of a required monthly emergency broadcast test ends and your movie resumes. That's not a good thing, imo.

The rest of it is just beautiful (and the solos themselves are awesome, technically speaking).

[Sky]

Streaming the new Mastodon on the new ultra hd prime music....holy fucking shit

I got to Gobblers of Dregs and my brain just started leaking, I think those drums owe Brann some money

This album is bananananas

I've already learned Teardrinker on bass

[Fraeg]

Hyper pop... a new (for me) genre I stumbled across while listening to Adam Nealy and Rick Beato talk. Specifically 100 Gecs.

I think I have been waiting half my life for someone to make this kind of music. It is like bubblegum Atari Teenage Riot meets early 2000 Happy Hardcore plus the Sleigh Bells.  Probably not everyones cup of tea but I am digging it:

But can you handle 1000 gecs?

But can you handle 1000 gecs? 

Lol, yeah not sure why i see 1000 and 100 used for the same duo.

It's a Discord in-joke.

New Primus is pretty epic and timely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGujAiMmjJQ

Reminds me a little of a couple tunes off Rhinoplasty (which is a great disc).

I needed something to listen to at work today to help me focus and I've fallen down a BTW YouTube rabbit hole.

No, I'm not linking anything.  It's K-Pop and I enjoy it (same as I enjoy J-Pop/J-Rock) but not entirely sure why they have such a rabid fanbase.

[Samwise]

I got to see Ani DiFranco live yesterday and this song really grabbed me.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Srsjq67szro

[Fraeg]

saw Vio-Lence the other week in Oakland.  Old school Bay Area Thrash.  They were good, great to see them still kicking.  The opener Exmortus ripped and they played a metal version of Boston's Foreplay.

They slipped in mid-set in the middle of a song and old timers like me lost our minds.

This is not the show I was at, but to give you some idea:

New Metallica track sounds pretty rote. With bands like RHCP getting two albums of bangers out of the pandemic, I hope the rest of the tracks stand up. I had thought they'd turned a corner with Hardwired, which is mostly awesome. Maybe not.

Also, I've had my anti-cookie beliefs blunted SLIGHTLY by Opeth lately. I've been jamming a couple tunes off Blackwater Park (title track and Bleak). Still hate the cookie, but at least they've got a lot more going on (and honestly it kinda fades into the background while I'm playing, like bad DJ scratching or something).

Also also, found some Rocksmith charts for Persona 5, Last Surprise is now in the rotation...

[HaemishM]

New Metallica track sounds pretty rote.

As I stated on Discord, it's amazing that they managed to rip off both Judas Priest and themselves in the same goddamn song, and it all sounded so lazy. The solo felt like at least 2 or 3 riffs from Hammett's old solos were smashed together.

[Sky]

You kids and your goddamned chaotic discord 

[Samwise]

I still haven't figured out what a gec is.

My most recent musical discovery is The Fire.
