All he needs is a little waistcoat and a banjo and he'd look like a character from a CG 'Wind in the Willows'.

Really? Not skillful? Siftbot must be an awfully impressive banjo player.

Wait... your icon has Obama playing Playstation. Are you touting Sony's superiority, or implying Obama could play banjo if he'd quit fucking around with games?


Banjo? I think "y'all" would be content with being a more effective president...

This video blows me away. Everything is perfect about it, it feels like it was manufactured by a team of geniuses. The room's furnishings look like the right kind of odd, as if it could be a shed, but then they look comfortable enough for it to be a house. The kid is wearing a cap of a 90 year old man. He's also wearing a stripey grey and ...yes, grey top. His banjo doesn't have a fancy coloured strap; it's his instrument, not a toy. The fucking milennium falcon starts to sink in and contrast against everything to remind you they're kids. Then you go holy shit they're almost certainly related and all decided to take up different complementary instruments to form the kind of band only ever seen on back to the future. Stuffed fox(?) behind the fiddler.

Then it's all just enough to make you think that the kid looks exactly like the fiddle playing kid from deliverance.

Love this idea. I'll add something a little different...

You really ought to check out some Devin Townsend if you're into some really unique sounds.. The guy has an incredible range but dedicates his base music to "metal." Though the genre is closest to metal most of the time, he also has some really outside music as well with a recent example being the paired 2 disc project of deconstruction and ghost, 2 wildly different albums. One of my favorite projects by Townsend, however, is an album called Synchestra, which when played as intended is a seamless blend of an entire album. There are no gaps between most of the songs making it very easy to listen to the whole album. It's also got cameo artists like Steve Vai and Deborah Tyzio in some tracks.

On a side note I he's incredible live. Seen him twice, once headlining. Amazing. He talks to the crowd the entire time and got down in the crowd to play a few times. Wonderful energy, great personality and really intelligent.

I'll stick a few links from synchestra in here though it's better to go start to finish and enjoy the rollercoaster

All from Synchestra:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc2dsNQX4Tw - Triumph. Metal + banjo? why not...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XERqZRMG5Cg - vampolka. Directly precedes vampira, which can be found on the sift.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzewVfIX9_w - Gaia. awesome tune. A "sprinting" song for me when running..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ0T7_3YD6o - Pixillate, follows Gaia. awesome vocals once it gets going. goosebumps.

Somehow I think there was a banjo in their midst.
