What are you listening to?

A funny as hell mashup by Frank Zappa of 2 popular songs of the time. [Ike Willis doing his Afro dialect.]

And the circle is now complete. [Except for the part with the winged pigs.]

“I paid for the whole piano, and dammit, I’m going to use the whole piano”- Edvard Grieg

Tina S (at 14 years of age) covers Steve Vai's (Crossroads) cover of Paganini. 

Some nice folks in Yaroslavl showed me this song when I said I was from San Francisco and I am serious when I say it is the awesomest song about San Francisco ever written

So you think you can play guitar: Part 2

JS Bach's famous Toccata & Fugue for organ. But done on solo guitar.

So, recently I've fallen into the rabbit hole of scene demos, and while I can appreciate the technical aspects of things like getting the Mega Drive to natively emulate Mode 7 (G-Zero, look it up, it's awesome), the real draw for me has been the music. Even going back to the old Amiga days, these impressive displays of digital peacockery have always grabbed me by their aural presentation. Thirty years latter, not much has changed. This drop is fucking SIIIIIIICK:

So you think you can play guitar: Part 3

Isaac Albéniz's Asturias.
