Mark is great and such a unique style ...

One of my favourites.  

It was definitely a cutting edge song for its time.

Now, with all of the bravo sierra I’ve dealt with lately with hardly anyone living in reality, this tune sums up some of my frustrations:

Most of you probably don't know much about Nick Cave, and a few of you probably know who the Flaming Lips are but I suspect most of you don't like them, BUT, the kid girl singing this, Nell Smith, is 14 years old ! which just blows my mind and I love it.

I know you are, but I would have never pegged you as a 'death metal' fan.  Cool.

Sultans of Swing is one of my all time favourites.

Few may know that Mark's brother Dave played rythem quitar in the early days, including on Sultans.  

The lyrics are great and really quite funny in places if one knows the background of the band ... they are from Scotland.

Love this song and it's a blast to play on the drums.  We used to cover it for fun, but I don't think we ever played it out.

Flaming Lips is a great band and they always put on a good show.   I highly recommend watching their documentary The Fearless Freaks if you haven't seen it already.

Not all metal. Some of it shows brilliant musicianship and artistry, and some of it shows that some people have zero talent. (Even William Hung could do better than some of them.) Having said that, I look at bands like Origin and marvel at the speed and precision of their music.

As an aside, I’d love to be able to share videos from the YouTube channel The Little Death, but I know that the lyrics are NSFW (and I don’t think the bosses here would appreciate that). She does R&B renditions of death metal songs, which just absolutely make me howl with laughter.

 I actually commented on one of her videos a while back on how she can keep a straight face while doing this. She said she can’t. It takes her several tries until she gets it right to her satisfaction.

Ouch....just purchased 4 tix for Metallica at Highmark. Over $1,200. Great seats, but owww. They are only playing two outdoor stadium shows, Pitt and Buff. And my daughter's favorite band is Greta Van Fleet. So a win win in my eyes.
