Pic of the Day – Ziltoid the Omniscient
Farhan Akhtar – Mera Yaar
Devin Townsend – Funeral (acoustic)
A hauntingly beautiful performance, by one of the great metal musicians of our time.
Terry Bozzio and Efrain Toro – No Vacancy, Tank!
Two masters of the percussive arts having a little fun with some monstrous grooves at the Buddy Rich Memorial Concert 2008. Tank! starts around 5:18.
Casualties of Cool – Mountaintop
I don’t care that the year isn’t half through, Devin Townsend’s crowd funded Casualties of Cool is my album of the year for 2014.
Scientificised!
When Kurt Cobain committed suicide in a Seattle suburb 20 years ago, the idea of the 27 Club entered the public consciousness. “I told him not to join that stupid club,” his mother said at the time of death, and the quote was subsequently picked up and distributed worldwide by the Associated Press.
2CELLOS – Highway To Hell featuring Steve Vai
Rocking. Would have preferred no percussion à la early Apocalyptica, but that’s just personal preference.
Jeff Beck Ensemble with Billy Gibbons – Sixteen Tons
That old Tennessee Ernie Ford classic updated as a techno-blues rocker.
King Crimson – Starless
Live 1974
