Avril Lavigne - Hot

Nice! I love that song!

I listened to this song repeatedly for a while ;



It's a very obscure band I found clicking randomly on youtube recommendations.

i agree that this is a masterpiece of composition and performance, albeit in a way that zappa did not feel was his signature musical personality.
he sometimes delved into funky and rocky tunes, and in my opinion, his iteration of those tunes is masterful, but his overall musical personality was indistinct really.
in my view, he tied eastern music (like arabic) with western chromatic scales, and he did so in such a way as to create music that was utterly unique.
his understanding of percussion and various tempo arrangements was beyond the scope of the average musical understanding.

his manuscripts were almost unintelligible by anyone except for "maestro's", and the musicians that were capable of iterating his scores were, by necessity, geniuses of interpretation themselves.

it is curious that you can have 2 people who are zappa fans, but they have entirely different musical tastes, and each persons favourite songs by zappa are considered by the other person to be un-noteworthy.

some people claim that stevie vai's guitar skills were superior to zappa's, and there are some stevie vai fans that listen to zappa just so they can hear vai play. (vai was an employee of zappas in his band at various stages, and zappa gave him room to improvise which was very rare for zappa to do).

here is a video of stevie vai playing head to head with frank zappa at a concert. "stevie's spanking"
stevie vai has a much shorter sentence structure concept of the song than zappa (who wrote it), but appears brighter and more contemporary in his iteration of it after he takes over from zappa's initial introductory bars.
it soon becomes apparent however that vai is expending his ideas at a rate where he runs out of them and has no where to go after a few minutes. he has exploded into the best detail he can think of (which is genius level i allow), but when his flurry of idea's is spent, zappa comes back in and plays a run that one can see could go on forever developing into new iterations, and i determine that zappa's musical intelligence is superior to vai's due to the conceptual length of the musical sentences he bridges the score with, and it's fertility for further variations on what is essentially a repeating bass line.

whatever.

COLD- TEARS FOR FEARS

I know some songs that I'm obsessed with. And here's the funny thing: It's songs I MADE!

Most of them are on YouTube if you want to give them a listen! My YouTube Channel is KDS Official!

I'm currently NOT making music due to many blockages in creativity and that I ran out of space on my computer. I will resume my music making probably at the end of this year or next year.

If you guys enjoy my stuff be on the lookout for a NEW album coming soon from me!
