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

Hey Botch,
Check out Rick Beato, he interviewed her a few weeks ago!!

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 disjointed instrumental break! There's hope for us yet!

Can't get this out of my head today. And I don't want to.

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

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.

To warm up for each show, they would sing the chorus of "Carry On My Wayward Son" by Kansas in full harmony over and over and over and over to get their voices going and hit peak synchronicity on pitch and intonation. They worked HARD to have the chops, because back then it was expected for bands to deliver on stage what they provided on their studio recordings.

I have been listening to a LOT of Steely Dan recently.
