Radiohead just messing around jamming in a live webcast, rips out an amazing cover of Ceremony.
I’m not usually a huge Radiohead fan but damn.

Because it came up in another thread, and I think EVERY bass player should hear the killer bass playing on this record:
Pino Palladino on this track. Other bass players on the record are D’Angelo, Rafael Saadiq, and Charlie Hunter. That album doesn’t mess around.
@terb, nice shares! Marmozets is awesome, really enjoying that right now. Killer overdriven pick bass tone too.
And thanks @howard too! And to everybody for keeping this thread alive. So much good s**t.

This one will take some cultural explanation.
In Japan, and especially the very traditional areas of Kyoto/Nara/Osaka, Geisha are still a thing. To become one it takes years of training in traditional arts, games, crafts and so on. And so, there is an apprentice level for Geisha, basically a Geisha jedi padawan. They are called Maiko.
Also, in that part of Japan, the language is spoken in a different dialect than in the Tokyo area.
Band Maid is a themed metal band made up of very talented music school grads who dress as maids because the founder was disgruntled from working in a maid cafe in school, and their image is stomping all over the submissive maid thing by being a heavy metal band.
They went to Kyoto, and did an EP re-recording some of their previous songs, but in the Kyoto dialect, and adding traditional instruments. And released it as “Band Maiko.”
Here’s the (more metallic) original:
I mentioned their bass player in the other thread, she’s super good.

@howard Yeah. She is bad ass. Just shredding it. What a great counter point to…
@Marcel That is some serious way back yonder funk. I’m generally not a big funk guy but… damn! I felt that groove start to finish. I think I’m still feeling it. Thank you.

To state that the Japenese are a bit crazy is almost akin to stating that the night is a bit dark

Heck Yeah!! UFO is a great band that imho should have been a way bigger success. Pete Way was the first cool bass player!! Great player and an absolute madman.
“Lights Out” is a serious guilty pleasure

Awesome choice…
They are amazing. Brilliant live act.
so it’s Friday again 
Rama is an italian stoner / desert-rock band. They released their first album recently and it’s gorgeous !
Red Sparowes : almost intimate, slow and ambiant post-rock from LA.
Ancestors : deep and slow psychedelic rock with a few doom accents ; they made only one really good album, called In Dreams And Time, but in fact it is more than good.
