I liked the Doobie Brothers part and the Billy Jean segment was cool.

It's about 3 minutes, check it out.

Very neat stuff! Kinda creepy in a way...

I thought they were all, neoconservative, liberal,socialist, anti-musicists putting hard working musicians out of work. They all probably work for a large drug company.

Sorry Hawk, it seemed only fitting to hijack this thread to put the mandatory political spin on it before someone else did.

Cool video

I saw a group called Canvas (I think), do an acapella version of The Simpson's theme that was pretty amazing. I'm considering doing something similar via multi-tracking my own voice, but I'd have to learn to sing first. I'm in a very progressive mood lately, and want to deconstruct things and inject influences that aren't supposed to be there in a certain genre... it might get me banned from bluegrass, where that's not really allowed.

My latest BG song is called "The Way I Roll, " and it mentions heavy metal and features a C9 chord, which has probably never been played in a BG song.

Yeah, C9 or higher chords are very "Western Swing" and I'm sure are considered the "devil's music" in BG circles. Just like tri-tones in classical or sacred music.

I heard a group called van canto. They have one drummer and five singers and it sounds cool.
