A conversation with one of my son’s friends the other day:

  • Kid: I’d like to learn an instrument some day
  • Me: which one?
  • Kid: … beatbox, obv.

I see a lot of “human condition” on display in the audience, which makes me “uncomfortable” :smile:

It’s nirvana without the pop hook.

Guitar playing is surprisingly warm and pleasing, and the singing is stream of consciousness.

Hard to tell if he is high as fuck or acting it, but the chord changes are musical and tight, so either a ) I need what he is taking, or b) he is faking being high.

@Andrew
This might be relevant… if you really want to assess the probability of the guy in question being high lol.
Plus rock documentaries are always such fine displays of the human condition. :joy:

I’m with him. Oh curse those hours of misspent youth spent practicing the piano when I could have been a beatboxing god like these dudes

Haha
But I’m not sure which pieces of miserable misspent childhood I could replace without loosing the discovery of actualism.

Haha yes. Butterfly effect. One hour of scale practice less and I might have ended up a Baptist preacher in some small town in the American South!

It’s all there. Transmissions, birds, acoustic, bass, percussion, fiddle, vocals, a minimoog (?) … but it’s the brass that ennobles it.

Something seems to have happened with the link…

Here’s a couple of songs from Die Schöne Müllerin, a voice+piano song-cycle by Schubert. I highly recommend the whole cycle but it’s basically about a Wanderer who follows a bubbling brook (German’s love their nature poetry) which leads him to a fair maid - who eventually rejects him and it ends in usual despair typical of the romantic period. Lots of nature poetry and exploring of feeling so maybe some similarities there :slight_smile:

It’s really cool how it explores these different emotions - but most of all I just love how it sounds. The vocals on this album are absolutely sublime.
