God she’s good. She really just has the touch. I don’t think I’ve seen her play that white Fender Strat before. Beautiful guitar with a bright but still melancholy sound.
I like that she’s not a show-off; Grace cares about the music and what would make a good sound, not merely playing the most difficult possible thing. And just think: she’s only 18. She is only going to get better.
(Also, I love her zip cord coat.)
That’s amazing. That she preserves the harmony and the spirit of the piece while playing it on guitar is so impressive (it was written for piano).
They make it feel like the 90s again. Horsegirl is like the best of Stereolab and thatdog combined.
It’s too bad Remmi never got more popular. This is musically interesting, fun, funny and incisive.
I’d never seen that before. What an amazing performance. All live, no backing track, no echo on the mic, singing parts most people wouldn’t attempt even if they managed it in the studio once.
And damn, Prince could write a song. I just wish they’d used a mic better suited to her big voice. That one is crap.
That’s a hell of an arrangement. I like the rock-like attack in the middle, and how she varies the tempo a lot. Helps it work better on piano which is obviously more limited than the typical passel of instruments that canon usually finds itself performed on.
In a lot of it she’s playing the piano like you would a harpsichord and the piece works all the better for it.
(And yes, she’s doing all of that deliberately.)
Wow, they tear it up! They’re all so great musically.
Grace’s (the band leader and warrior princess-haired lead guitarist) style reminds me a lot of Samantha Fish, but more formal. That’s not a bad thing at all. There’s just a little classical influence there, like Eddie Van Halen had, but in a different genre. She’s amazing. Glad I found her.
That’s a really cool old Gibson SG Grace has. Must’ve cost a pretty penny. I think those usually sell in good condition for around $20K.
Esta banda está buenísima. ¡Merecen mucho más hype!
Someone has been listening to a lot of Stevie Wonder! Super fun.
If you’re gonna steal, steal from the very best. Love this one.
Un par de canciones de Joaquina me gustan un montón. Este video también está bien chido.
Je dirais qu’elle est une sacrée bonne piaf.
Intelligent weirdos are very much my jam, so I really like this.
Me encanta su música. Está chido escucharla hablar.
I loved Constantine and might watch it again one day (I rarely re-watch anything). It’s such a beautifully-shot film. And not surprisingly, at least part of the reason it looks so gorgeous is because it was shot on those unmatched Panavision Panaflex Platinum cameras with Panavision Primo lenses.
The video hints at it, but I think the reason the movie flopped is it does not hold your hand. It kicks you into the world and lets you sink or swim. Most sink because they want their thinking done for them. And Constantine is just not that kind of film.
Great analysis of that scene. Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood is such an excellent film and that scene is perfect. One of my favorites of any film made in the last decade. I missed on first watch that it is James Dean in the mural in the background when the girls are dumpster diving.
The thing about a Tarantino film (and really most films to a somewhat lesser extent) is that nothing is accidental.
