wake up babe, new folk-punk band name just dropped

IMO I would be surprised if anyone who has read the Culture series doesn’t say the Culture. That’s where I’ll be.

This would make an excellent carjacking deterrent. Whoever gets in there would need to listen to the whole song before they could start hotwiring the car and leaving. That’s time you can use to try and force the carjacker out. Or to have a robust discussion about Toto’s effect on popular music.

Alecto, Tisiphone, Megaera, and Bob.

Some parts of it are in my experience. The part where Hunter looks at the carpet in the casino and the way it moves is fairly accurate. So is the unreasoning carelessness of interacting with sober people.

Full instrumental bands aren’t as popular as big bands like the holy trinity(Rush) but there are still a lot of instrumental acts out there with talent and staying power. For example:

Explosions In The Sky(personal fave)

Masayoshi Takanaka

Polyphia

Steve Vai

Russian Circles

This Will Destroy You

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Many more too. Most of those acts have been playing for 10-20+ years and I’m not even naming all the ones I listen to on the regular. Angine de Poitrine has a good chance to last as long as they keep making awesome and weird music. I sincerely hope they do cause they sound amazing.

Purr-abola.
