When you listen to music in public, is that music a diagetic soundtrack to your own experiences or an extra-diagetic score for the world around you?

More Muppets

Just in case you havent seen it, and because ive been listening to a bunch of A Night at the Opera lately, heres that awesome rendition that the Muppets did of Bohemian Rhapsody a few years ago. Although i dont dig the extended animal bit as much as i maybe should, the gonzo open with the chickens, and then the rest of the song are damned hilarious. Oh the production behind a Muppets music video like this.

Animals as Leaders

Avant Tech. Metal

At the moment mostly a vehicle for 8 stringed guitarist Tosin Abasi, Animals as Leaders lives in a world that embraces left field metal. However they do now have a full band, this release is mostly the brain child of Abasi. Tosin's riff work is extremely varied in its approach and really makes these songs something special. I felt like after yesterdays post both Exivious and Animals as Leaders (while maybe not in songwriting) have a heavy reliance on Jazz. Animal's uses fairly unique chord progressions which opens the drums and bass up for some interesting interplay. YES
