Flight of the Conchords

Rap is not my thing. Rap parodies are fantastic. I should stop giggling so loud that my new Finnish neighbors can hear me.

Mayumana

“Derb, stop tapping!” –My Brother
“Stop bouncing your leg!” –Nora
“You don’t even know you’re doing that (squeaky mouth sounds), do you?! –My Father
Given the previous evidence, perhaps it wasn’t the best idea for Nora to buy us tickets to Mayumana for Christmas. Mayumana is an Israeli dance/percussion group of the same genre as Stomp. […]

Too Sexy to Bowl

Stop the presses, Right Said Fred is playing the largest bowling party! (qualifying scope is mysteriously lacking)

Hamburg

This past weekend I traveled to Hamburg with Nora and her parents visiting from Spain.
My trip up from Wolfenbüttel was spent watching “2001: A Space Odyssey” while seated in this tacked-on wagon from the 70’s.

It kind of reminds me of the vision of future travel from a 50’s documentary.
Base camp for our trip was Oldenburg. […]

Vladiswar Nadishana

This post on Skype’s international blogs introduced me to a siberian musician named Vladiswar Nadishana. I can’t get enough!
In this interview, he demonstrates a variety of unique instruments. The sound that comes out of some of these is just amazing. I recognized the sound of a few of them but had had no idea […]

Good ol’ Country Jammin’

My parents, along with my grandmother and uncle were up visiting my other uncle’s family in northern South Dakota this past weekend and filmed this gem. You may see here “cheap entertainment” but it actually gives me a slight bout of homesickness. This may as well have been an alien […]

Yes, I experienced my first Eurovision yesterday. CNN has a good article about the Finns winning the this year’s contest despite some perhaps political voting. Firstly, if you’re from the States, Eurovision doesn’t mean anything. It’s an annual song contest with an entry from each European country. You could sum up […]

New Tool Song

Since I’m out of the loop of cool happenings in the states, a buddy had to mentally channel the new Tool song “Vicarious” to me. First of all, I’m a huge Tool fan. Their artistic abilities as a band stretch way beyond the music they create. Ok, I won’t go into that praise-hour […]

Church Drum Session

Sometimes I play Klong Yaw for the church I attend in Madison, SD. After we were done practicing one night I spotted the trap set in the corner and couldn’t resist. This clip is of me just messing around on it. Kinda rusty since I don’t have a set around but it was a blast […]
