So, as I mentioned in yesterday’s Bird is the Worm wrap-up article, I posted a nifty video of Seattle Jazz outfit Zubatto Syndicate doing a cover of Metallica’s “Master of Puppets.”
Well, ensemble leader Andrew Boscardin didn’t much care for the version of the video that I chose. He preferred this one…
I preferred the option I went with on eMusic’s 17 Dots blog, because, one, the camera was way up close to the musicians and wasn’t all shaky and it just seemed more raw. It was a Music Video. As for his reasoning for preferring the above version, he went on and on about sound quality and musicianship and blah blah blah… just like a musician to obsess over stuff like sound and artistry.
Me, all I care about, is this something I would’ve watched on MTV back in the day, between episodes of Beavis & Butthead, while hanging out with friends and eating lots of junk food and beer.
Well, now everyone should be happy.
Boscardin also mentioned in his email that it appears a new release is coming out in 2013. This is good news, because, one, that’s one more album to look forward to, and two, it gives me a little time to finish up writing some reviews on his earlier albums.
If you feel inclined to shower the comments section with praise for my ultimate wisdom in all-things-music-video-selecting, then I urge you to do so. We must beat back this growing tide of musicians thinking they know what’s best about their music. If you happen to be a musician and fear breaking solidarity with your comrades-in-instruments by agreeing publicly with my decision, then you may instead comment on my dashing good looks or artful way with words. Actually, to be safe, you should note both.
