    I mean to take absolutely nothing away from any other musician on stage with Henrik, but sometimes I swear that half the reason Dirty Loops is so popular is because they actually have the balls to let the bass be heavily present in the mix. There are some phenomenal bassists out there, but they're rarely given such a spotlight like this. It's incredible.

    The musicianship of all of these guys (including Cory Wong and his Hornheads) is off the charts. I think the thing that makes Dirty Loops, Cory Wong, and Vulfpeck so amazing and tight is that none of them allow their ego to get in the way. They're all highly technical and gifted musicians, they all know it, and they all genuinely respect eachother's abilities and they all truly like each other. You can see the joy on their faces when they play and it's infectious. And Grace Kelly's stank face is everything.

    Work Shit Out, Rock You, and Breakdown, are all must listens! There's so much musicality going on but yet it manages to retain that pop accessibility.

      In terms of musical arrangement, I think Next To You is a better pick than Work Shit Out. Work Shit Out shows their musical skill well, but I think Next To You was just written better (the way it spans genres too).
      Either song is great though! Don't get me wrong.
      Breakdown and Rock You are also awesome!

    Quincy Jones is just their manager though. They produce their songs themselves, together with Simon Petrén. I heard one of them say, in an interview, that they don’t send Quincy anything, not even demos, until it’s completely finished. They’re mad as hatters and it’s utterly brilliant. 😁

And even if it is a real sample, it doesn't change the fact that QJ isn't their producer in any way. He's still just the manager.

I loved the way you grooved with this. They always leave you wanting more. Also, the credits can sometimes be long, but they're worth reading because they put some funny stuff in them quite often.

    The singer co-wrote Random with Kpop/Jazz artist Lee Jinah. I love her song Stairs too. It's fantastic.

    Getting in a Christmas request early. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones version of "The 12 Days of Christmas." Each day is in a different key and it's corresponding time signature based on the day number ie., 1/1, 2/2, 3/4, 11/8 etc.

      @@Doug.Helvering Studio version, I should add. There are live versions which are impressive, but they don't have all the musicians used in the studio.

    They came to Australia a couple of years (2015) as a support act to Maroon 5. I know some people who were blown away by them at their concert, including serious Aussie musicians. Best band I have heard in 71 years.
