Links: Music

I can't get enough of this performance. There's a studio version on Thundercat's new record, Distracted, but this version is just too good.

Simply love it. Instantly hooked. I've been a big fan of theatrics in music since I was a kid (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Primus, Slipknot, and Buckethead were some of the most influential acts on me). Call it a gimmick if you want, but if the music is good, and the talent is there, I eat it up. Now more than ever. BE WEIRD! HAVE FUN! This is weird, and fun, and the music is so cool. 

“They are shrieking, betting ponies
folksy like the idiot winds
Blowing over frozen water
It's your neighbors they are taking in
cold, black nights
Taking in cold, black nights”

“Against smoke and rubber bullets 
By the dawn’s early light 
Citizens stood for justice 
Their voices ringing through the night 
And there were bloody footprints 
Where mercy should have stood 
And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets”
