This Mexican duo, male and female, rock. They couldn't get big in Mexico so where did they go.....Ireland. And they blew them away. They charted a #1 album with this new one (self-titled). After Ireland, they are now blowing the USA away. The woman beats out beats on her guitar, and then they both solo like crazy. I feel a smacking of the Guitar Trio (Dimeola, McLaughlin, and Delucia) but that's cool. I've never found anyone but myself that even liked that reference. I like it. 5 out of 5 thumbs for the new self titled album.
I have been thinking alot about the after-life recently. Trying to figure out everything that anyone has known about this. And.... no one really knows anything.
I just had the idea that when you finally DIE......your mind kicks into an eternal dream that never ends. You have that crazy dream that just keeps on going.
Jack White is really movin' around on tour up in Canada. He's jammed in a park, threw some spears, played in a bus, played to huge airplane hangars, and stayed true to what he's about. He even played with a Canadian flag drooped over his amp. I can't knock him for not knockin' Canada. They got a step on us. US.
I'm realizing that Jack is more country than I initially let on. This next clip shows it. You have watch the next, next Conan clip to see the Balls-Out Rock 'n Roll aspect more....plus the musical virtousity on Icky Thump......
But I like the country music that Jack likes. He is NOT the modern ultra pop country of the US, otherwise he'd be on every TV concert. This guy Jack is down to Earth and into the best of American music. Crossroad Blues, Punk, Classic Rock, and Alternative Rock.
Jack moved down South since he made money. He's currently deep into Blues, Country, Iggy Pop, and Robert Plant. It's great. I am waiting for his next album with the Raconteurs that he's also working on when he's not on tour in weird Canadian location concerts.
This clip is from Conan O'Brien's Show. The 2nd performance of the show is above. I have never seen a guitar player soloing like this on the keys while keeping rhythm on guitar. It's great. It's boldly original. Guitar rhythm, key soloing, and simple drums. No one
Ravi Shankar is "the king" of the sitar. He grooves in and out in a western way that most people are not used to. Indian music uses microtones which defy the Pythagorean scale. Indian instruments have so many strings that they can play different ringing tones in the background (open strings). Plus they can bend strings in a way that only jams out notes for the Indian jam. But it all hooks up. I have about 3 Ravi Shankar records. And you?
