Hi! I'm a tech guy, skeptic, feminist, gamer and atheist, and love OSS and science of all stripes. I enjoy a good bit of whargarbl now and again, and will occasionally even seek it out. I am also apparently responsible for the death of common sense on the internet. My bad.
I have opinions. So do you. You want to share them with me. I would like to do likewise. Please don't expect a platform for proselytizing that will go unchecked and unchallenged, though. Contact me via the clicky thingies under my banner.
The commenting rules are simple: don't piss me off. This rule has worked for me for a decade; I have never found a need for any other rule, because any other rules leads to rules-lawyering. Just remember --
this is my property, not yours.
Interesting cover. I must admit that I’m a bit of a purist when it comes to System of a Down, but these ladies do a good job with the music.
I’ve enjoyed violins that are electrically enhanced for quite some time. I still have the LP “3” by McKendree Spring from 1972 (I was 7 then — I got it from my brother). Check out the McKendree Spring web site for some audio. Several tracks are listed there from the LP “Three”. One in particular, “God Bless the Conspiracy” is one of my favorites from back then. Their newer stuff is great too.
Wow, sweet. That’s some stuff that has to be added to my playlist post-haste. Thanks man!
You can also check out Boiled in Lead. Both Antler Dance and Songs from The Gypsy (very different albums) featured electric violin at various points.
Oh yeah; Boiled in Lead are awesome! “Rasputin” is still one of my favorite tracks. They’re a rather “eclectic” group. Somehow that suits me well.
