Long live Pussy Riot!

My nephew introduced me to Tosin Abasi's fabulous guitar work last night. This guy is very accomplished.

Beautiful playing - very reminiscent of one of my guitar heroes, John McLaughlin.

And I just noticed he's playing an 8 stringer no less!

 

I once carried on an email conversation with John, he's a very cool guy.

At the time he was very much into the Chan poets.

Some Jeff Beck influence also. Just missed seeing Mahavishnu at the Spectrum in Philly in 71.

Yes, I can hear the Jeff Beck for sure. I saw Mahavishnu Orchestra in DC around '74. It was the second iteration with Gayle Moran and Jean Luc Ponty. Although my favorite recording will always be the live recording, Between Nothingness and Eternity.

I can also hear influence by Alex Lifeson the guitarist for Rush.

You can't go back my friend, only forward.

i used to go thrifting for a fresh plaid suit for each bosstones show, i think i've been to 10... then the scene broke and mtv started playing that music.. the shows totally changed, it used to be hardcore and we would dance on stage with dicky barrett and then all of a sudden like overnight they started putting a barrier between the fans and the stage at all their shows, which incidentally were populated with teeny-boppers on drugs and drunk suburban punks. fuck it another scene ruined. The funniest thing is that those teenyboppers have no idea how much mtv and pop culture ruined music, they think that i and everyone like me is whining because we are elitist scenesters who don't want to share the good music! hahahha just thinking about the bosstones takes me back to pre-Dookie punk rock and shows the likes of which could never possibly happen now that the internet makes everything popular within 15 minutes.

 

now that you've listened to my elitist scenester rant, i will regale you with great music from devendra banharts new album mala

 

 

 

[konchog uma]

Lungs Face Feet

Traffic (live)

 

 

 

the pretty drummer in frame at 1:03 introduced me to crass, the clash, new model army, etc, when i was like 13... i used to have a huge crush on her! hehe i saw her at a show at the Princess here in pgh last year for the first time in like 20 years.. heres a minute and a half from that show

 

 

 

 

they played with the what cheer brigade, who is totally worth looking up on youtube if you are into big brass

[konchog uma]

What Cheer? Brigade

live at Belvedere's (after the show at the Princess mentioned in the previous post)

in which the What Cheer? Brigade displays the proper technique to employ when entering a strange bar for the first time

 

 

 

 

belvederes show starts at 1:42 for you impatient types

Okay, that is acceptable even though it isn't any of my styles of music.

Yep. She is pretty. I can understand the crush.
