Jellyfish, live in the studio. No autotune, no overdubs, no click track, all acoustic instruments; just four musicians who knew what the f*ck they were doing. Damn this is beautiful.

Vulfpeck, live at Red Rocks. Kinda gospel-ly, hope the whole show comes out on Bluray.

I've seen this before, maybe twice, but Rick Beato's review of Chicago's Make Me Smile is just amazing (and it's not one of my favorite Chicago tunes). My very first bar band was a Chicago/EW&F/Doobies cover band, in '78. I played trombone, and a single conga with a drumstick during the...

Okay, Vulfpeck are virtually unknown (I've mentioned them here before) but here's a clip of one of their songs, from a three-week sold-out series of shows, in some place called Madison Square Garden. But what I really want everyone to notice, is that the whole crowd is singing along with the...

I can't remember who it was, but sumbuddy here got frustrated with me for watching Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives; I admit Guy Fieri can be an acquired taste. Tonight it ended up on the TV, and there were two episodes back-to-back where he had a back-up Camaro SS built up for him, stripped...

Learned on CBS this morning that these guys have 76 Grammy awards between them! First album in 17 years.

There's also a growing market for old 1970s receivers that you used to be able to pick up for $50. (and Randy the CheapAudioGuy just did a video at the obscene prices ($1,400) that some prerecorded cassettes are getting) :oops:

I don't know how this kid does it, but Jacob Collier just performed a live version of his remake of "Bridge over Troubled Water", with Tori Kelly and John Legend, and it KILLS.

Just re-watched this (again) and noticed that her vox mic (I think a rather expensive Neumann) looks like it got hit by a lawn mower at one point. WTF?

At 98, Mel Brooks is directing, and starring in, Spaceballs 2!!

I thought I had everything PG ever released; I only learned of this collection this afternoon. Very first track was him singing Strawberry Fields, with the London Philharmonic! The next two tracks are less than stellar, and that's all the further I've listened so far; there may be more jems...

New album is coming out this summer, they've just released the first single, Angeliqùe: I don't speak the language, but I could listen to her purr in French all day (oh, and that's Larry Goldings on Hammond; he has a musical resumé that'll make your eyes water)

I used both Wipr and Vinegar to block ads in Safari, iirc Wipr was specialized to block video ads on EweTube. EweTube has been especially agressive on screwing it up with this extension in place recently; when I get two ads at the beginning of even a short video, plus two more ads (usually...

I love Hiromi! I haven't seen/heard this clip before, Canon in D (Pachlebell? I don't know; Pauly?) She throws a metal ruler into the piano for effects, and (from the comments at least) this was an improvised piece for which someone else transcribed, which is fun to follow along with. And...

Every morning when I turn on the news I can't help but smile at my 55" OLED. My vision is such that I can't see the 4K resolution difference, in fact I dropped EweTube TV's "4K" and saved myself $5/mo, but that brightness dynamic range just pops!
