silent thunder Posted March 28, 2020 1 minute ago, moment said: A unique sound, very interesting! They just ooze 70's Thai Funk, which is Mark Speer's (guitar) obsession. Their name is the Thai word for airplane. I'm a wee bit smitten with them, they've been my flavor of the month since September lolz. Ms Lee (bass) only picked the instrument up a year or so before going on tour with Mark and another band. Something of a prodigy she is. The more I listen to them, the more I'm amazed by all three. That drummer is never out of the pocket. He's a freakin metronome. He and Mark met in the gospel scene in Houston. As for Mark. The longer I listen the more he shines in a way few guitarists do... and it's his backup instrument. Same with Drummer... it's his secondary. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good for studying and sleep, or calming my nerves in the car (not that I’m doing much driving nowadays). They kind of remind me of Shpongle except without all the goofiness and silly samples. Or maybe they’re not like Shpongle at all. Big thanks to @GSmasterfor putting them on the mixtape he sent me. Edited March 28, 2020 by SirPalomides Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nungali Posted March 28, 2020 A lot more birds . Much fewer cars . Much less human noise . I even noticed a lack of the occasional high altitude jets passing over . Here , during 'corona virus shutdown' , the noises of nature are more prominent . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silent thunder Posted March 29, 2020 Discovered this album by Ackerman in 1989. Sophomore at University. Recently wed to the gal living off campus. My gal who sits next to me now, grinning as she instantly is transported by this song back to recall us dancing through our empty apartment in unadulterated joy. We ate our meals on the floor. No tv, (didn't bother with one til we graduated a few years later). We had my cd player (also on the floor) and a bed, (the frame of which we soon broke, so the mattress also moved to the floor). Don't need much. Just the essentials. Will is still touring. Ran into a friend of his in the lobby of a hotel we were staying at for our son's 11th birthday. Thanks for the soundtrack to one of the greatest windows of my life Will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silent thunder Posted April 1, 2020 Music is off for now. Hearing the dicing and prep of my gal cooking. and over that... the intermittent shrieks, riotous laughter and joyful screaming of our Japanese neighbor, chasing her young daughter and toddler son about their living room... all while loudly humming the theme to 'Mission Impossible'. Such pure simple joy and unapologetically wholesale bliss! Treasure! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silent thunder Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) People say we got it made Don't they know we're so afraid? Isolation We're afraid to be alone Everybody got to have a home Isolation Just a boy and a little girl Trying to change the whole wide world Isolation The world is just a little town Everybody trying to put us down Isolation I don't expect you to understand After you've caused so much pain But then again, you're not to blame You're just a human, a victim of the insane We're afraid of everyone Afraid of the sun Isolation The sun will never disappear But the world may not have many years Isolation Edited April 3, 2020 by silent thunder 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
