@RATM – Jorn Lande. Enjoyed that, bangin’ blistering guitar!
I remember a TV programme in which the philosopher argued that all Western music is at it’s core the same. He then went on to demonstrate how a headbanging metal song was far more similar to Mozart than one might have imagined. It was fascinating!
- Megadeath. Not a band I’m familiar with. Unusual accent he has that comes through. That was verging on ‘easy listening’! With their name I was expecting something dangerous!
- Sabbath cover – was ok, but even Ozzy sung better than that in his day. [That said karaoke tip: Ozzy had a very narrow vocal range, surprisingly so, so anything sung by him is sure to win you big points!]
- Butthole surfers. I’ve heard of them, but never listed to them; but I mean, with a name like that! But did you notice at c1:00 one of the cops is Erik Estrada co-star of the late 70s cop show CHiPS lol!! [Also see him clearly as ‘the guy on the right’ at 3:42]. I’m sure there is a whole back-story to their vid and style, but when you don’t know what it is, it’s all pretty odd.
- Monaco. The sound is quite ‘Manchester scene’ [think New Order etc., esp re: the bass].
- Fatboy Slim – I like this one. He’s very inventive, and he goes beyond the call of duty in the recording quality of his albums. You won’t get it through mini headphones but through a decent hi-fi some of his stuff is jaw-dropping (the '3D mixing' he does is superb).
- PAW – First impression (10 seconds in), wow the guitar sound reminds me of Helmet.
I liked it, but it’s not exactly background music.... hehehe...
@ Lynx, I’m too old to get the Supermario connection, but the guy is pretty smokin’ on gittar.
