Crumb - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)
Crumb's "Full Performance (Live on KEXP)" is like a sonic journey through a dreamscape, where every note feels like it's been plucked straight from the ether. The band, led by the ethereal vocals and guitar of Lila Ramani, delivers a set that’s both hypnotic and groovy. From the opening track "Balloon," with its floaty, psychedelic vibes, to the jazzy undertones of "BNR," Crumb showcases their knack for blending genres seamlessly. The rhythm section, powered by Jesse Brotter on bass and Jonathan Gilad on drums, keeps things grounded while still allowing the music to drift into otherworldly territory. It’s the kind of performance that makes you want to close your eyes and just let the music wash over you.
What really stands out in this session is the interplay between the band members. Bri Aronow’s keyboard and saxophone work add layers of texture that feel both intricate and effortless. There’s a moment during "Part III" where the saxophone takes center stage, and it’s pure magic—like the soundtrack to a noir film set in a galaxy far, far away. The chemistry between the musicians is palpable, and you can tell they’re not just playing songs; they’re creating an atmosphere. It’s intimate yet expansive, like they’ve invited you into their own little musical universe.
If you haven’t watched this performance yet, do yourself a favor and dive in. It’s the perfect blend of chill and captivating, ideal for a lazy afternoon or a late-night vibe session. And hey, if you’re already a fan of Crumb, this set will only deepen your appreciation for their artistry. If you’re new to them, consider this your gateway into their dreamy, genre-defying world. Either way, it’s a performance that lingers with you long after the last note fades. So, what are you waiting for? Go check it out and let me know what you think!

We will coup whoever... - A Wealthy Individual.
Remember That Time Elon Musk Said "We Will Coup Who We Want"? -Back in 2021, a tweet from Elon Musk sparked a wildfire of memes and jokes across the internet. The quote, "We will coup who we want! Deal with it," was Musk's response to a tweet about the U.S. government's involvement in the 2019 coup in Bolivia. The original tweet accused the U.S. government of orchestrating the coup to gain access to Bolivia's lithium resources, which are crucial for electric vehicle batteries. Musk's blunt reply was meant to be sarcastic, but it quickly became a meme sensation.The meme culture surrounding this quote was fascinating. People started creating images and videos, often with exaggerated scenarios of Musk leading a coup with a superhero cape or a crown. The humor was in the absurdity of the idea of a billionaire tech mogul casually talking about overthrowing governments. It was a perfect example of how the internet can take a serious statement and turn it into something laughable.Despite the meme's popularity, it's important to remember the context behind Musk's comment. The situation in Bolivia was a complex political issue, and Musk's tweet was a controversial take on it. While the meme was all in good fun, it highlighted the power of social media to amplify and twist messages, sometimes losing the original intent in the process.So, the next time you see that meme pop up, take a moment to appreciate the creativity and humor behind it. And maybe, just maybe, think about the deeper implications of what it means when someone with as much influence as Elon Musk makes such a bold statement.- Copilot
