back to off topic...
Ha ha, charade you are! Master Wilson did a lot of "borrowing" for The Incident. The first time I heard it my husband was playing it on the basement stereo, and I thought he was listening to Les Claypool's "Live Frogs," second set. I knew it was Dogs, but I also knew it was NOT Pink Floyd. Again, Steve does a tasteful job of borrowing- right down to keeping in line with the lyrical "mood." He threw in just a hint of "The Wall," too.
ob, thanks for that KC clip, total mastery! I watched it with my husband and after reading your edit note he commented, "How could that be 'wildly off topic,' the name of the thread is Lerxst, after all." What instrument do you play? I don't play anything, but John play keyboards and "aspires" to play bass.
What has anybody been over playing lately? Them Crooked Vultures is still getting an almost daily listen. John Paul Jones is one of the most overlooked bassists around- and he's still got it! He also gets some funky 70's style organ playing into the mix- it was very cool to see him live. Dave Grohl is back to his punk speed drumming, but with more sophistication than ever. Of course, Josh Homme's deliciously dirty mind churns out plenty of cleverly suggestive lyrics that are just fun. My husband doesn't care for his style of guitar playing, but then I'm a bigger Queens of the Stone Age fan than he is. We saw them in concert before their album came out and they were still sneaking around underground. It was at a small place in downtown Detroit so they actually looked life size!
I also got the latest Black Crowes album for X-mas, "Before the Frost." I love those guys. Good old fashioned blues-rock and roll. I always ask John why he doesn't play more 'Crowes tunes because they are so simple. He says that's why I like them, they are deceivingly complicated.
