The Last Bass Outpost

Muse decided to do this to their unsuspecting (and innocent) Italian audience.  It's kind of cruel.  Not really too funny to me except the drumming part looks so stupid, you can't help but laugh a little.  However, it must be added that Muse has let it be known how much they love Italy time and again.

Do you need special glasses to see this?

Mexican TV outlet accidentally airs man’s testicles during solar eclipse coverage

I sometimes watch comedy shows in Spanish.  To be honest, often they aren't very funny to me.  Maybe because my Spanish is so poor.  But this is really funny!  Latin Americans must have more of a sense of humor than I realized.  Duping that TV show was the ultimate way to pull off this joke. 

Which reminds me, although it is several years old, I just noticed this comment by Jackie Fox under this Runaways video.  It's the first one.

If you scroll down, she posts again later.  Of course I can't verify that any of this is real.  On YouTube it usually isn't.  Also, most of the comments seem to be from people who have gone bonkers.  But that's par for the course with YouTube. 
 

I probably mentioned this already in an earlier thread.  But at the Linda Ronstadt concert I went to circa 1980, she actually addressed the Emmylou Harris issue.  Linda Ronstadt actually seemed to be pissed off that Emmylou Harris wasn't being recognized by the public enough.  Personally, I look at them as equals.  However, that "Heart Like a Wheel" album by Linda was a big plus in making her popular with the public.  Maybe Emmylou had albums just as good or better, but "Heart Like a Wheel" was quite a success.  Much more could be said, but I think this was a turning point for her. 

I wish I could have been in the path of totality. 

I've never heard of Boland and Boland, but those songs were good, too.

Now that Cuba and Castro have been brought up, I can't help but tell the story about my dentist.  He was once with a tourist group in Cuba.  Fidel Castro was giving a speech.  He had got my dentist mixed up with another American he knew.  Castro asked him to come up on stage with him.  The dentist stood there, most likely not knowing much of anything being said in Spanish.  Or maybe he did know a little.  He almost always had Spanish-speaking patients in his office. 

In some cases, I had heard of the bands, but just hadn't heard any of their music.  In other cases, I had heard their music.

In reading through the comments, it seems to me quite a few people missed the point.  This is a list of bands that might have been popular in the UK, but not the U.S.  Some people commenting seemed offended some of their favorite bands weren't on the list.  This is not a popularity list.  It's a list of bands from the UK relatively unknown in America.  Also, it doesn't mean all Americans haven't heard of these bands.  In my case, for example, I had heard a lot of music by Stereophonics, but just thought it was way too pop and not rock enough at all.  Some of those other bands might be more to my liking if I listen enough to some of their music.  Kasabian would be prime example.  I've heard a lot about them, but wouldn't be able to name even one song by them.  In general, I'm not too familiar with this time period in music, whether American, British or something else.  But I'm always interested in something new if I can just find it.  Just because a band wasn't popular in America isn't a determining factor to me.  I'm interested in what I think myself. 

I dug that. Singer is good, band is high energy, the tune is good. Probably the first time I've seen one of those LP DC basses in a real video.

Like I said, it was the Gibson bass which got my attention.  I watched several more of their videos and the LP DC tribute bass is prominent in them, too.  As for the band itself, I honestly wish I liked them a little more.  Because I do think they're worthy of consideration.  But there are so many bands I'm trying to keep up with now.  Plus, I'm buying too many CDs lately and trying to cut down a little.  I haven't even listened to all the CDs I already have.
