Not the deepest or most inspired thing I’ve seen, but it offers a quick, breezy view into the personal interests of Les Claypool, Robert Trujillo, Melissa Auf Der Maur, and Krist Novoselic in under 80 minutes.

Brave New World Somewhere In Time

Where did you originally see this?

Now that's a Harris-worthy salad!

He decided to go for assonance (repeating "I" sound) and a consonant echo (repeating hard "c" sound in a similar position) rather than just the rhyme. I didn't mind it in this case. And what are you going to say instead, "Creatures' eyes, they follow me"? "Creatures' gazes follow me"...

Martin Walkyier's been collaborating with the Brazilian band Tuatha De Danaan for a while, and during COVID they recorded a number of Skyclad covers which are pretty cool (the image is a link to the playlist, as usual):

"Blood Brothers" has a terrible chorus that repeats ad nauseam. "The Mercenary" is the definition of stock, with another hyper-repetitive chorus and some weird aborted songwriting detours. "Dream Of Mirrors" has that godawful sped-up section, a so-so interlude and solo, and guess what, way too...

AMOLAD going out before BNW is an atrocity. Half of BNW is reheated, recycled mediocrity, and if it weren't for all the rose-colored reunion nostalgia I think it would rank a lot lower based on its merits. AMOLAD is much stronger and fresher overall -- still the best thing they've done since...

I guess I'll have to hide it in @Niall Kielt's couch, then...

"You Really Got Me" has a simple and appealing groove and an OK vocal line, and it builds up decently through the chorus. The guitar solo is reasonably peppy for 1964. Pretty good for its time, though it doesn't have a lot of meat on the bones. "Mississippi Queen" has a more compelling groove...

Can't say that I give two shits about YouTube influencers in general, but I always enjoy seeing someone take out the trash, especially in such detailed and pointed fashion.

Interesting that neither of these original tracks from The Best Of... has an official stream, at least on YouTube. Must be some kind of rights issue.

I wonder what you have to pay to be the official fan representative in the wedding party…?

Sifu is still monopolizing my gaming time lately. I’ve now permanently unlocked most of the earnable moves, and while a number of these are quite useful (focus sweep for guaranteed knockdown + damage against bosses, the big punch that lets you block incoming damage during wind-up, and the...

Agreed, I’d probably go with the title track or “Kill Devil Hill”. For me, “Devil On A Hog” doesn’t fit the tone of the album at all, and the vocal harmonies on the chorus are just sickly sweet and offputting. The verses are fine, but nothing special. They should have made it the bonus track...
