Here's another urge to share something that gets me goose bumps. Although I don't play alternative myself I deeply enjoy listening to this genre. Dream Theater is one of my favourite bands of all genres and times! Each band member is a genius. This video is called "Instrumedy" or "The dance of instruments". You'll see what I mean. This particular video is done in a way to show all of them playing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
I wanted to share a great TED talk about how to start a movement. In 3 minutes Derek Sivers shares insights with an awesome delivery! I hope you enjoy it.
A few days ago I posted about one of my favourite bands - Muse - and their performance at SXSW 2010. Today I wanted to share another band I love - Mumiy Troll also featured at SXSW 2010. The band is Russian! Here's the video and below is a description given to Mumiy Troll by North American media.
Mumiy Troll (pronounced Moo-me Troll) is undoubtedly the most significant band that modern Russia has produced since the fall of the Soviet regime. They have made their mark with startling albums and live performances that are bursting with energy, combining warmth and total debauchery.
What exactly does the band sound like? Consider the term ROCKAPOPS. Contemporary Russian music is actually divided into what was before and what came after Mumiy Troll. Band founder, frontman Ilya Lagutenko, defined their music style as "rockapops" just to avoid pointless Russian media debates on the definition of what is rock and what is pop. Mumiy Troll became the leader of an entire new musical trend, copied now to greater or lesser degree by Russian wannabees and mainstream artists.
