Fake it 'Till You Make It
ppadilha said:yeah, DOMi and JD Beck are nuts.I get that the girl in the first video is trying to sound like house music, but house music is like the most unimpressive music to try to emulate, and she's still doing a crap job of it. I'm much more into these young jazz drummers going all amen break because they dig the blazing downtempo.Those two other videos by that girl are even more baffling to me. I have zero sense of rhythm, to the point that my brother always made fun of me for it growing up, so I'm always a little weary when people starts shitting on some musician's technical ability and whatnot because it usually just comes across as musical snobbery. But man, even to my untrained ears and complete lack of rhythm that drumming sounds like garbage. In the comments people are like "wow, mad time signature changes!" but how is it even a change in time signature when she can't hold a beat for more than 2 seconds, unless it's some four on the floor thumping business?Maybe those "fans" just cheer her on so she embarrasses herself some more, like some drunk falls down a flight of stairs and everybody cheers "WOOooooww – check out those next level parkour skills" just so the idiot crawls back up and does it all over again.

Hey Frank. Good to see you. What part of the world are you in these days?I cannot understand how anyone who has any ears (much less professional musicians) cannot tell within less than 15 seconds that she cannot play for shit. The post in not so much about her (I'm a hack player as well) as it is those who have enabled this utter madness. Is this gaslighting? Is there something wrong with my ears?
Hey Crab. Good and surprising to see some action here again. I've been living in Oaxaca for 5 years now in a few months from now this will be the longest I've ever stayed in a single place since I was 12 and still loving it more with every week that goes by.
Admittedly this is an extreme case but I don't think it's anything that out of the ordinary. There are a lot of idiots out there who buy idiot products and feel idiotically passionate about it, just have a look at those comments... delusional hobbyist drummers need idols too from what it looks like. This is the same pattern as people "cooking" "Mexican" "Food" from Goya cans and processed mutant corn products, grown ups reading harry potter, obese fucks driving "sports" cars, "Nordic" walking with those retard sticks, "smart" phones, tvs, doorbells etc
The only hope I have is that covid mutates fast enough to wipe all these embarrassments of the face of the earth for good.

Can anyone explain Nardwuar the Human Serviette?
As a fellow fanboy and compulsive rabbit hole crawler I can understand what drives this guy but at the same time I get how his hyper nervous persona, his ice pick to the ear voice and frantic, poking microphone moves can grate some people in purely painful ways. Who would want to face such an assault before a performance or, maybe even worse, afterwards.Then there are truly magical moments when the chemistry works like in the Pharell interview, it just seems he needs a real chill and self aware person as a subject. But holy shit... that voice... just get yourself some downers man and maybe smoke two packs of Gauloises a day, can't be hard to get those in Canada. I have to made and admission though... back in 1983 I wore the same exact plaid zipper pants.

Sly Stone doc by ?love & Common Sense
I don't believe that pitbull and the monkey story for one second. Maybe some sort of decorative monkey in a tutu but not with a chimp, just do a google image search for monkey mauling. I saw (off line, story is googleable though) graphic shots of a group of idiot tourists got out of their car on a chimp safari in Sierra Leone... these animals have extremely powerful jaws, sharp teeth, long, muscular limbs and fingers/toes that can hold the entire animal's weight with ease and for time. Chimp attacks usually include the ripping off of the ballsack and a full face removal. Pits have jaws, nothing else.
Maybe it was a Bonobo, took some grease off the pole to lube up and then went to town on the pit as Bonobos are known for the use of sex for conflict solving.

SoundCloud Mixes
This was my last ever dj mix I put together back in 2015 when I was getting ready to release a series of 12" singles with some hard hitting Edo Funk tunes from Benin City in Southern Nigeria, formerly hometown of my friend and partner in crime Damian Iwuagwu.Damian had moved to Lagos years ago but he still had many friends in Benin and managed to excavate a ton of truly incredible records. While Damian tracked down producers and artists I embarked on a world tour to test the super heavy Edo Funk sound on dance floors all over Europe, Japan and the Americas.Once back from the tour, however, I decided to leave the jockeying and reissuing of records behind and shelved this project.
