c’mon, bahman… listening to that tired old shit is gonna make you die young. you gotta kill your ugly radio and get out of that mainstream nonsense, dude. what i’m asking you to do is not impossible, but it is a big step, and i understand that. you will find yourself in the midst of strange and fearful new sounds… macabre and unfamiliar… but you have to have courage, bahman… you have to trust me and be brave enough…

Actually I like your music. I am not a blue guy or someone fan of classical music or a musician. I was however told that one needs to have a good sense of hearing to appreciate old stuff. I am waiting for music from you and others.

excellent. i’ve been at a primus reunion lately so i’ll talk about the mastermind behind that band; les claypool. you will find absolutely nothing even remotely similar to the sound of primus from the decade of the 90s and beyond. you couldn’t call the sound explicitly ‘grunge’ or ‘metal’ or ‘rock’ or even ‘pop’, and you’ll find none of the standard formulas for commercial song writing present anywhere in the music. these guys were a power trio (like rush) of very talented musicians with very unique style. the music is heavily bass driven… the bass guitar being the lead instrument… which was almost unheard of in bands from the 90s which were primarily guitar bands. claypool - vocalist, bassist and band leader - drives the bass like it’s a fucking bulldozer, and his drummer ‘herb’ was probably the best drummer to come out of the 90s. the music is elementally strange and aggressive, but with comedic properties that sets the band aside from the typical stereotypes other bands fall under. remember, the 90s was the decade when the glamour rock of the 80s was changing into something more masculine (make-up and big hair was out), but the bands still retained that over exaggerated, histrionic image of trying to be ‘cool’ with all the posing and microphone love-making that went on in the videos and on stage. with primus (and any of the other claypool projects) you see none of this. in fact, you’d find something diametrically opposed to this; claypool dressed in overalls, stomping around the stage in work boots, popping his bass and singing in some strange cartoonish redneck voice. there’s really nothing like it anywhere… and this is what i have an eye and ear for; the truly unique, the truly exceptional, the truly original. stone temple pilots, alice in chains, nirvana, pearl jam, sound garden, et al., are great… but they are not on the same plane as primus. i’ll give you a tour in the next several days… but you have to promise to listen, man. it’s an acquired taste… something that requires a certain kind of personality (which you might have), and that’s what we’re going to find out. okay, so here’s one from ‘sausage’, which was a side project by claypool. similar sound as primus, but slightly nuanced due to a different drummer and guitarist…
