“The Devil Went Down To Georgia” White Trash Washing Machine Cover
That’s just. Amazing.
AWESOMENESS
this is awesome
This is literally the futuristic version of washboard music. Is that not just fucking amazing? We had dudes playing washboards to accompany music since the early days of blues and zydeco and today we’re sitting here watching someone using a washing machine in the exact same way. Imagine being some old fella playing a washboard with thimbles in a little jug-and-tea-chest outfit back in the 20s, imagine if someone told you that in about 100 years time, some kid would be using a machine that will replace the washboard to serve the exact same purpose.
Hazel Scott playing two pianos at the same damn time with ease
Hazel Scott was a musical sorcerer and a civil rights hero. She:
was admitted to Julliard at 8.
was performing in top venues by 16.
pioneered “swinging the classics” and made the equivalent of a million dollars a year doing it.
was the first person of color to have their own national TV show.
went to Hollywood but refused to be cast as a “singing maid.” Demanded and got control over her casting, her wardrobe, and how footage featuring her was cut.
refused to perform in segregated venues and led charges for integration in several northern cities, notably Spokane.
She was brought down by the House Committee on Unamerican Activities, and has been largely forgotten. But she was a sorcerer, and a hero.
I would legit paint it up to have teeth and dangly little legs.
okay but considering that Pokemon Go often shows me suddenly sprinting about 3 blocks away from where I really am and then sprinting back about 9 blocks in the opposite direction and only occasionally getting within 100 feet of where I actually am, I can anticipate one or two problems with this
Same.
Also I get really worried about losing my stuff or being distracted and having it stolen, so while it does look cool as hell I am going to say “no thank you”, personally.
