Well, that's just a bit of alright!
And among the many wonders it entailed was yet another reminder that no what they can make synths do, the coolest, most amazing, most badass electronic keyboard ever made is the Hammond B-3, and thus shall it ever be!

What a treat!

Derek smiling, the interplay between the seasoned musicians, all of it!

Thanks Dave.

I'm always curious about how things work... and I'm usually surprised by how often something posted here is something that has also shown up in my YouTube channel feed. The same "Brothers" video Dave posted was up at several points yesterday when I was watching/listening to other things, and I finally watched it here. 😊

Listened to this recent interview with Sierra Hull, regarding her newest record, while I was walking yesterday. It's pretty well-done. I've gotten really picky about artist interview videos... I listen more than watch, because I'm usually doing other things, (like walking or working on something) so I'm much more interested in content. Throw-away questions and/or clueless interviewers will make me find something else pretty fast. Sierra got to really talk about her record and her ideas, and where they came from here.

I've been watching this kid a long time now. Rewarding to see what she has grown into.


*title track to A Tiptoe Highwire Act, "Spitfire". It's based a a true story of her Grandmother. I heard the track but hadn't realized the backstory.

It doesn't surprise me.  Creep me out, yes, but not surprise me.
I'll look at Reverb or Dream Guitars on the desktop, on my AOL account, and She'll get guitar ads on Her stupidphopne.  Orwell was wrong; the problem isn't Big Brother, it's Big Brother, Inc.

Seeing the “crank knobs” in another thread brought this to mind…. Everything is a song! 
Dregs - Crank It Up

[pauldo]

Speaking of algorithms…
This popped up after the Dregs song.

I massage YouTube Music a lot by being sure to 👍🏼 things I like.

To Peter’s point, awhile back I was bemoaning how much my feet hurt.  Shortly after I have all kinds of ads for old people shoes/ insoles popping up.   Have to admit some of those ads are rather convincing.   


My real life solution, wear a different pair of boots each day to work AND remove the insoles everyday to allow them to ‘poof’ back up.

[edwardofhuncote]

Nothing to do with listening thread... just following the conversation.

I still, to this day, wear my same work boots out to the shop every morning that I wore to work as a Waterworks Operator. Skechers... very lightweight and comfortable. I bought two new pair every year with the allowance they gave us. The chemicals we worked with ate them up faster than we could wear them out usually.

In a past life I was employed at Weinbrenner, they make Thorogood boots.  The Design Manager and I were friends, got me plenty of “testers”.   There are 3 pairs I rotate through.  The boots last forever, insoles wear out.

Came across a vid by Webb Wilder & The Beatnecks; probably hadn't heard them since this was new:

OK, this is...something.
If you are at all inclined toward herbal enhancements, may I suggest that you gots to set somethin' on fire before clicking?

I happened to catch this live post of Sierra Hull's new tune too late last night to take it in. Saved for this morning.

She has a very interesting take on guitar, accompanying herself. I've heard her flatpick many times, but this is a hybrid flatpick/fingerstyle... she's pulling several notes at once for effect here. I've been trying to do something like this for a while. You just have to feel that timing.

Saw her play at a festival last summer, great playing and band!
