Drew your life sounds like Youtube.

Once again, drew lives in IDAHO. That playlist is probably like an expired condom in a seventeen year old kids wallet by now for all the spontaneous dance parties that break out where drew is from.

Excepting the fact that I live in Montana, this is woefully true. And anyway my dance-music taste rarely goes over well with the type of people that dance in Montana. Not nearly enough Brooks and Dunn and whatever the fuck else country shit for their taste.

God I need to move.

But I will say that I go to NY once a year for poetry porpoises, and among writers my mix fucking kills

Ha, poor Idaho. Keep Dr. Garbanzohtin' the good Dr. Garbanzoht Drew.

Another band rooted supremely in funk style is Primus. Like any amazing and weird funk band you need the most solid bass player you can find to hold down the funk groove, some refer to this as "coming in on the 1" (as in beat). This frees up the entire band to go bananas and be as funky, crazy and experimental as they wanna be. Les can switch between the groove and the crazy like the best of them. In their live show they really go loose but keep everything together through a funk groove, which is why despite all the crazy shit they do, you still wanna move and they never lose the plot.

In the last month I've heard about spontaneous dance parties, living in monasteries in England, and now NYC for poetry reasons! You are making Monatana work for you. Sounds fun.

I have to cope somehow. It's not as exciting as I make it sound.

I lose my shit at a Primus show in a way that I do not lose my shit under any other circumstances. I just get in there and fuckin throw myself around. I know all that music so well, but it is so goddamn powerful live. Les builds up to a break and then cracks the whip like a fucking madman.

This is the perfect description of their show.

Some people say they're too jammy now and will also say the same thing for bands like Phish (just comparing the "ability to jam" aspect of both bands). But if you truly posses musical talents beyond our world like those guys, the show has the EXACT same intentions as any BIG DJ/ELECTRO or whatever show. Just better as it holds more personal attachment to it for both the crowd and artist.

Fuuuuck I wanna hear every song on this album live so bad

If anyone hasn't heard The Rural Alberta Advantage yet, I seriously recommend them to EVERYONE on this board. All I can describe it as is if Jeff Magnum got together with some of the members of Port O'Brien and the drummer of Mastodon and started a band. Some of the vocal parts sound so much like him at times that it's scary. All of these vids are worth watching/listening to. Very very quality music here.

These videos illustrate how amazing their drummer is:

I love RAA. Pulling for them at squatch big time.

Just found out about them through the Coachella lineup. I'd love a Sasquatch slot for sure!

Frank, AB is a powerful song if you know the story behind it. The famous Frank Slide of 1903 destroyed several rural businesses, and seven houses on the outskirts of Frank, killing 70-90 people.

I should have taken pictures of the seemingly endless pile of rocks. It was moving.

I have Puro Instinct if anyone wants it.
