When I play a show, I *really* play a show

shadowlongknife has an awesome Animal icon (that being Animal from the Muppets).

I absolutely adored Animal as a child. I've always loved insane percussion and have a not-so-secret desire to learn the drums so I can channel my misanthropy and aggression (and Keith Moon) into drum solos.

For those of you who watched the old Muppets variety show, do you remember these?

This is two minutes of TOTALLY AWESOME DRUMMING (and, of course, Animal FREAKING OUT). Goddamn but could Buddy Rich drum!

Animal jams with a stunningly handsome Harry Belafonte. Belafonte on the huge kettle drum!

WOOOOHOOOO!!

I was thinking of doing a Guilty Pleasures meme this week where you all post things that you're either totally or partially embarrassed to love.

I must confess something. I have a secret and shameful love for Lady Sovereign's early work.

LADY SOVEREIGN - RANDOM

She's SO TINY and adorable. I love that she wears baggy trousers, relentessly mocks exploitative presentation of women in the media, mocks women who wear Chanel, and my favorite part of the above video? Is where she moves to unzip her hoodie to presumably show some cleavage, and then stops and smiles at the camera and shakes her head "no."

Yes, I admit it. I love a lot of stuff out of the early sublow and grime scene.

SO, FLIST! What are your guilty pleasures? Confess! Unburden thy collective selves!

music, awesome, you tube
