"Less is more" So many have a hard time reaching what I call the plateau of creativity. Simplicity. Which to me means anything but "easy." It's much tougher for an artist or maker to deliver excellence with fewest components. DJ absolutely has a tight percussion sound and doesn't ever appear to go off timing. He's very good imo.

Taken from the comments of kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rL18fciisbbKg4k.html :-D - This drummer has such a good sense of time that he probably doesn't find christopher nolan movies confusing. - I heard this drummer got lost in the wilderness with no phone or watch and when they found him 3 years later he knew what second it was. - The drummer once threw a chair in J. K. Simmon's face. DJ controls probably every MIDI master clock :-D

I love how down-to-Earth these people are.. just grown ups who have decided to do something they love very well, no need for stupid hype, no need for stupid noise.. just what they love and respect and who they feel like being. I don’t typically like music without lyrics, but in their case I prefer when music doesn’t have lyrics.. it’s magical, it’s psychedelic, it’s khruanghbin..

Lol I was this many years old when I found that out too...only because I bothered to take a closer look to that weird sheen on their "hair". I'm like, "oh yeah of course..it's a (good) gimmick - like the Ramones" a whole package.

@ianpritchard6375 3 жыл бұрын

I know what you mean - Having *real* hair in that style shows 'commitment to the cause' (like Phil Oakey) or 'skin in the game' .. but however much they discuss their holistic music philosophy.. this is 'show biz', and I don't think we can deny that Laura chooses to turn on the female charm on stage with the choice of some of her outfits - and her moves. The wigs make them more interesting. I was more disturbed when I learned that Seasick Steve released a Disco album in the past
