This is sick talent for a couple of teenagers. JD Beck is going to be an absolute monster soon enough. Probably already is!

You'll want to turn CC on for this one, but it's very worth watching. The guy is *seriously* into pedal DIY.

Such a seventies sound. But so amazingly good. How has this band flown under the radar for me for so long?

I often put on Billie Holiday late at night when all are in bed and it's quiet, helps soothe the soul. Timely one originated in France a little over 100 years ago, Holiday first recorded it in i believe 1937.

They rolled through here in the early 70's, played the long gone hockey arena, were quite popular here in their day.

I've heard of Billie Holiday before, but never really gave her a listen.  I started listening to that track you linked, and at first I didn't get it.  I've heard jazz before, but this sounded very non-melodic with the wild vocal pitch bends.  But, I kept listening, and it became surprisingly mesmerizing.  So, I guess I'm saying thanks for this awakening?  I didn't expect it, but my soul does actually feel soothed.   8)

This was surprisingly good.  I'm a Radiohead fan, and have to say, the parrot nails it.

I recently found some works by Elizabeth Brown that are wild. Her compositions do a great job of incorporating off-kilter pitch bending techniques of strings, woodwinds, and theremin.

Such a fascinating listen. If you know some of the original songs, like with _Nuages_, even more interesting to hear Joe Pass's own interpretation.

currently listening to #1 hits of the 60s part 1. I acquired this Akai deck (and both 8 track machines) a few years ago via a friend of a friend along with a giant box of maybe 40 reels of tape with all kinds of stuff recorded on them. The box of tapes had been buried in my office closet for a few years, but I got down to it today and decided to try out some tapes I hadn't played before.

I've got an Akai reel to reel machine! No tape to play on it, but still :) (No 8 track machines, either.)
