The Fuckin' Vibes, Man!



Yo, have you seen Les Maitres Fous? This video reminds me of it. White people are just as wacky as the non-whites they exoticise is the message.

Yo, you hear that vibraphone riffing? That's the fucking hotness. I think that being a great musician is a little like being a great dresser. There's rules in both, but only if you know the rules can you effectively break them. At about 3:30 in this video, the vibraphoner starts messing up and getting a little sloppy - kind of like that suceesful guy who can rock a paisley tie with a polka dot shirt - not cause it matches, but cause he knows it don't and he gon' do it anyway.
