"Share some good music" Friday

Howard, thanks. I am quite versed in Japanese culture and pop culture. These three are actually really just three Japanese bands I feel the urge to see.

Cool! Yeah, Wagakki band would be a fun show.

You should check out Beni’s YouTube channel. Content is random but can be funny. Beni Ninagawa is the shamison player.

Also Wagaki did a cover of Bring Me To Life with Amy Lee as a guest. Worth watching.

I thought the shamisen player the Groove Jyoshi used for their What Is Hip cover was great too, no idea who she is though. It’s not Beni.

I think my favorite shamisen use I have heard recently was in Secret Maiko Lips though. Not because it was so great, but because it just fit right in surprisingly well.

@Noisembryo I love love love Minstry from ‘Twitch’ onwards but Uncle Al’s cod British accent on ‘With Sympathy’ is too much for me to bear :rofl:

I still think Nature of Love is my favorite thing Al ever did, except maybe the RevCo stuff. Just because it was so everpresent in clubs and kind of an early sampling masterpiece.

Gotta love that psycho stab.

Billy Thakidd is playing in this music video so I thought I would share this song for some support. The song has a really nice groove and tone.

You mean the most used and abused Fairlight preset (Orch2)? :rofl:

Ha! I didn’t know that.

I think I only ever saw a Fairlight once when it wasn’t on stage or something. Same with a Synclavier.

But yep, there it is :slight_smile:

I love Revco! And don’t forget LARD

Pretty much everything RevCo did is amazing. Most of Al’s and Paul Barker’s side projects up through Linger Ficken’ Good were great in one way or another.

If you haven’t read it, Al’s autobiography is a pretty decent read. It has a story about him meeting famous racehorse Secretariat

Yeah once pointed out you can’t unhear it. Amazed I never made the connection before. A bunch of Yello just popped into my head just thinking about it :slight_smile:

Art of Noise was great, used to be a huge fan.

Hi guys, here is another clip of my old bass teacher,
Great song, enjoy,
Cheers Brian

In honor of Mother’s Day. After they streamed a show, the band turned and sang to Tamu, the drummer, who had just returned after having her baby.
