I thought so. I listened to it with my Hobbit friends at the Shire over a warm mug of honey wheat mead.

"I got a watch that keeps better time than that" - B. Rich

One of the easiest ways to suddenly like big band jazz if you've never liked it, or have never given it a chance, is to forget, or ignore, rather, your premonitions about jazz and the picture of it you have in your head. Forget everything that is associated with it culturally... you know nothing at all about the bad hair styles and corny 70s talkshows with the lame chain of jokes followed by the predicted audience laughter (didn't they use laugh prompts back then?), and all that catches your attention is the music. Dump all your jazz memes and pretend you are an alien visiting erf who doesn't know brass and woodwind players are unequivocally considered by erflings to be lamer musicians than heavy metal guitarists. Lose the concept of the jazz zeit geist in your head entirely and just think about the sounds, not about who's making them and the history of all the stereotypes and cliches that surround the type in society (see I just stereotyped right there).

Now I don't like slow jazz, really of any type. The stereotypes have had such an effect on my life that I need jazz to jam or else I'll feel like I'm in an elevator when I hear it.

Fast jazz is to mainstream rock and pop what fast flatpicking bluegrass is to country rock and pop. A decent analogy. Bottom line; I need the jazz to catch and hold my attention, and I'd like to not be so confident that I know what's coming next after the change. I need to be surprised.

This one is interesting. None of the generic swing you would come to expect. It's like big band prog.

Hahahah the band was off. Buddy calls for a do-over.

No you can't get that speed, precision, or rudiment control with a match grip. Traditional grip is the Shaolin Kung Fu of drumming. The rigorous discipline and patience you must have to develop the technique, pays off in the end when you're doubling the number of rudiments you can get in a single beat.

Strike up the band.

PRIMUS FANS ONLY.

It has just come to my attention, after thirty two years of owning and/or listening to Frizzle Fry, that there are two additional tracks that were part of that album. They musta been hidden on the CD or sumthin cuz I never heard em.

He looked to the lightning with glee
And admired his vessel for its symmetry
Feeling twelve units shy of a bachelor's degree
As he stood by and waited to be called

I am a musician with fair technical capacity but somewhat missed the windows of development in my youth that could have made it a career for me. I now play only for myself and....

...while I was mostly a 'headbanger' in my youth, I now embrace most styles of music but less so on 'culturally' defining styles, like country is to Southern Americans. I'm at a point where I actually enjoy my own renditions of other people's works regardless and where I didn't sing before, I found that I now can. [I used to have difficulty playing and singing at the same time as well as being unwilling to accept my limitations where I wanted to sound like other heavy metal singers.]

Anyone else here also play an instrument(s)?

I pull the blinds. Then I take my clothes off... and dance around the house like nature boy. My genitalia and pectoral muscles aren't quite what I would like them to be.

But you don't see me. No one can see me.
