El Sitar

Crazy, baby! Thanks for the flashback....

(Used to do rock covers onna Sitar I bought in the north bay area-First arrangement I worked out was The Who's, "See For Miles.")

The U.S. and Japan are joined at the cultural hip in a lotta ways-Rock & Roll, Jazz, Harley Davidsons, tube amplifiers.....and GREAT BIG TITTIES!!

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Things I learned about Melbourne:
-- if you're an American don't pull the bell on the tram. But if you do - say g'day and exit immediately.
-- the best pubs are on the roof up six floors of stairs - and no fair taking the lift
-- best place for the Pulp Fiction soundtrack played on sitar.
-- smartest, nicest most fun people South of the equator - and equal to the North ;-)

I put the tag there in case a less educated jazz fan like myself went searching for the song under his name, as many people are familiar with his recording. >> ^rottenseed:

I didn't watch the whole thing but why is Miles Davis in the tags?

Sitars, how do they work? That guitar player is wicked too!
That was pretty tight.

WADR, the Indian instrument is a sarod. It is the masculine counterpoint to the feminine sitar.

This one is even funnier than the other one! *twangs on sitar*

Oh is that what you have there? I thought it was some kinda weird sitar or something.

Sorry, this monkey packs heat.

Nice to see Shpongle and Infected Mushroom on your list, dsjunkid, hadn't listened to them IN YEARS, literally! And Saint Germain is nothing to be ashamed of, even with their popularity.

So here's my 10 cent:
1. Bear McCreary - Something Dark Is Coming (BSG Season 2)
Dark ambient. One of the best tracks from _the_ best TV series soundtrack ever created, I shit you not. We're off to a great start; McCreary is exactly what I hoped to see on my list.

2. Joke Society - Morphing Morning
From Cafe Del Mar SunSand. Yes, I confess guilty as charged, I'm one of the Cafe Del Mar obsessed.

3. Faithless - We Come One

4. Awake On A Train - Múm
Their 2000 "Yesterday Was Dramatic - Today Is OK" is one of the best albums in the world, period. This masterpiece of theirs is even better than Sigur Ros (they're both icelandic). We're doing a lot better than I expected.

5. Obstacle 1 - Interpol
Again, "Turn On The Bright Lights" was one hell of an album. Thank you, people that helped me sift some of their stuff. This is indie rock at its best.

6. Ace Of Spades - Motörhead

7. Evergreen (Dusted Remix) - Faithless
From Hed Kandi's Winter Chill 3, this is one of my favorite lounge/chillout tracks of all time. Excellent mix, too, a lot better than original, which is definitely saying something.

8. Jumbo - Underworld

9. All Along The Watchtower - Bear McCreary (BSG Season 3)
Best modern cover of this masterpiece. A tune of harps and sitar pave the way for a surprisingly powerful progressive guitar. I strongly suggest you google/youtube it.

10. Knights of Cydonia - Muse

Well, I must say, I never expected this to turn out as well as it did. Thank you, trusty shuffle, I may now actually use more of you in the future. And thanks for starting this experiment, dft

That was the funniest thing, suddenly I'm bronze star again. They couldn't make it so star level isn't effected?
EDIT: Fixed the video and got the star back.

Sorry *dead

That opening riff looks to be A LOT harder on sitar that on the guitar. Lots more stretching.

I used some plugins to generate different harmonics, vibrato, pitch variation and basically change my voice on the different tracks, works well with choirs but not with a lead solo voice.

No I'm on a Pc

But I agree, it feels a little empty...Though I'm not sure the "sitar digeridoo harp boingboign tounge clicks frog croak" combo would really work... but it might be worth a shot...

want a remix?
