Buckethead - Pike 246 - Nettle [Rock/Metal Instrumental]

A more hard rock-ish offering, but consistant and playfully aggressive.

Is it coincidence that I sit here waiting for dawn, and on the basement floor are (3) buckets, each with (4) baby 'stinging nettle' plants? While I listen to Buckethead play 'Nettle'?

Totally unplanned. I hope it's a good omen.

Buckethead - Pike 233 - 22222222 [Rock/Metal Instrumental]

The title track is hard rockish while the successive track is more varied, but heavier (and more enjoyable) on the overall. Both have a great sound to them with distinctive arrangements.

A great listen before heading off to the woods.

an Amis chant ("Weeding and Paddyfield Song No. 1") sung by folk music duo Difang and Igay Duana opens the song and is repeated throughout. Hailing from Taiwan, these Amis musicians were in a cultural exchange program in Paris in 1988 when their performance of the song was recorded by the Maison des Cultures du Monde and later distributed on CD.

This song popped into my head earlier and took me a while to look up. Throwback song for many of us Millennials.

Buckethead - Pike 215 - Teflector [Rock/Metal Instrumental]

A nice rock starter track followed by almost a half hour of Bucket making coleslaw. I love these pikes just to leave up in the background while I'm doing other things. Always puts a hop in my step.

from Isengrind, Natural Snow Buildings, & TwinSisterMoon – The Snowbringer Cult, one of the greatest albums ever made, but do not put it on the aux publicly (for your own safety)

from Autechre Guitar, which is very impressive to me (if posting it on this site five or six times didn't give it away)

Skip about half way in for the song, tho the intro is kinda funny

He's really popular in Canada's PNW, mostly with people that attend Shambhala every year. :3

Live at Awful Arthur's Towers

Roanoke, Virginia September 8th 2011

This isn't truly a legitimate live, but I think it's the best version of the song by a far stretch. The backing track was added to the video in post edit as the original one was drowned out.

I personally think this is Bucket's most beautiful and emotional song. It's a memorial song for his Aunt Suzie. I don't care for most other versions of it.

Not even the biggest fan of live music. It's usually subpar and I'm a quality kind of guy. I want the billion dollar studio sound. Having said that, it is awe-inspiring to watch him play.

The growing Aadam Jacobs Collection is an internet treasure trove for music lovers, especially for fans of indie and punk rock during the 1980s through the early 2000s, when the scene blossomed and became mainstream. The collection features early-in-their-career performances from alternative and experimental artists like R.E.M., The Cure, The Pixies, The Replacements, Depeche Mode, Stereolab, Sonic Youth and Björk.

There’s also a smattering of hip-hop, including a 1988 concert by rap pioneers Boogie Down Productions. Devotees of Phish were thrilled to discover that a previously uncirculated 1990 show by the jam band is included. And there are hundreds of sets by smaller artists who are unlikely to be known to even fans with the most obscure tastes.

All of it is slowly becoming available for streaming and free download at the nonprofit online repository Internet Archive, including that nascent Nirvana show recording, with the audio from Jacobs’ cassette recorder cleaned up.

As I've always said, there are just too many labels.

Billionaire Bill Ackman’s hedge fund has offered to buy Universal Music Group (UMG) in a deal that values the world’s biggest music company at about €55bn (£48bn).

Pershing Square, the New-York based hedge fund, has made a bid for the business, which is home to artists including Taylor Swift and Elton John, with a cash and stock deal that would move its stock market listing from Amsterdam to New York.

Ackman said in a statement that while the company, which is led by the British-born Sir Lucian Grainge, had done “an excellent job nurturing and continuing to build a world-class artist roster and generating strong business performance”, its share price had lagged owing to issues “unrelated to the performance of its music business”.

Buckethead - Pike 158 - Twisted Branches [Rock/Metal Instrumental]

A very aggressive pike with an over abundance of metal inclination. Tremendously fast fingered notes. Minimal experimentation. Could be the heaviest I've heard from him thus far that wasn't experimental.

Fastest ride for me in Bucketheadland so far and likely destined to be a top ten.
