When I was younger I used to play percussion in a marching band so I like to look up what is going on in the drum corp world. I stumbled across these guys called The Top Secret Drum Corp and they are absolutely astonishing with their precision, complex patterns and the way their sticks all stay the same height when they drum. Very coordinated and fluid. You can look up more information about them on Wikipedia but here's a taste of their talent here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIj-JcoiRnA

Wow, the world is small ;) I have worked at the Basel Tattoo, might even been 2007... not sure tho, but I saw Top secret live and they really are great in what they are doing. The Basel tattoo is still going strong, allthough I don't know how the top secret drum corps is doing these days.

They background of the drumming comes from the carnival we have here in Basel each end of the winter. The purpose of the carnival is basically to "spook" the winter away, and so there are lots diffrent marching bands, one we call a "clique" composed out of drummers (same drum the top secret guys use) and piccolo flutes. And all are dressed up in costumes. Its quit an event every year here, and its called "die drey scheenste dääg" translates to"the three most beautiful days" (of the year). Lots of tourist gather every year when 4 o'clock in the morning in the middle of the city all lights go out and the marching bands start playing.

Thought I might add this to give a bit an insight from where top secret is coming from.

Since I'm here, I want to share a song of one of my favorite Bands. Its from my earlier days when I was totally in the punk spirit:

Social Distortion - Don't drag me down
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvfhgH3RbzM&list=PLh0_f73_Ufp8rZWhekH9273Vu0R-rdHFG

Lyrics:

Children are taught to hate, parents just couldn't wait
Some are rich and some are poor, others will just suffer more
Have you ever been ashamed and felt society try to keep you down?
I begin to watch things change and see them turn around

Turn around, they'll try to keep you down
Turn around, turn around
Don't drag me down

Ignorance like a gun in hand, reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
Have you ever been afraid, and felt society try to keep you down?
I begin to watch things change and see them turn around

Turn around, they'll try to keep you down
Turn around, turn around
Don't drag me down

*guitar solo*

Ignorance like a gun in hand, reach out to the promised land
Your history books, are full of lies, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
You're eighteen, wanna be a man
Your granddaddy's in the Ku Klux Klan
Taking two steps foward, and four steps back
Gonna go to the White House and paint it black...

Turn around, they'll try to keep you down
Turn around
Turn around, they'll try to keep you down
Turn around, turn around
Don't drag me down

Lot's more I would like to post, but this is the one that came to mind when I stumbled over this thread. Its a really great one, lots of new music to discover and old ones to listen to.
 
Gogol Bordello - Illumination

lyrics said:
Don't believe them for a moment
For a second, do not believe, my friend
When you are down, them are not coming
With a helping hand
Of course there is no us and them
But them they do not think the same
It's them who do not think the same
It's them who do not think....

They never step on spiritual path
They paint their faces so differently from ours
And if you listen closely
That war it never stops
That war it never stops

Be them new Romans
Don't envy them my friend
Be their lives longer
Their longer lives are spent
Without a love or faithful friend
All those things they have to rent
All those things they have to rent
All those things...

But we who see our destiny
In sound of this same old punk song
Let rest originality for sake of passing it around
Illuminating realization number one:
You are the only light there is
For yourself my friend
You are the only light there is
For yourself my friend

There'll be no saviors any soon coming down
And anyway illuminations
Never come from the crowned
Illuminating realization number one:
You are the only light there is
For yourself my friend
You are the only light there is
For yourself my friend

And we who see our destiny
In sound of this same old punk song
Let rest originality for sake of passing it around
Illuminating realization number one:
You are the only light there is
For yourself my friend
You are the only light there is
For yourself my friend

Elbow - Leaders of the free world

lyrics said:
I'm sick of working for a living
I'm just ticking off the days till I die
Oh, I miss you Louise
And the sickest little pleasures keep me going in between pulling teeth

Oh, periscope up
I've been looking for a ladder
I need to see the Commander In Chief, ooh
And remind him what was passed on to me, oh

Your mum don't sleep, oh
And the friends you keep
I didn't raise a thief
I didn't raise a thief

But the leaders of the free world
Are just little boys throwing stones
And it's easy to ignore
Till they're knocking on the door of your homes

My thinking isn't driven, oh
But the music always gives me a lift
I'm so easy to please, yeah
But I think we dropped the baton like the 60's didn't happen, oh no

Oh, periscope up
Should be looking for a ladder
I need to see the Commander In Chief, ooh
And remind him what was passed on to you and me, oh

Your mum don't sleep, oh
And the friends you keep
I didn't raise a thief
I didn't raise a thief

But the leaders of the free world
Are just little boys throwing stones
And it's easy to ignore
Till they're knocking on the door of your homes

But the leaders of the free world
Are just little boys throwing stones
And it's easy to ignore
Till they're knocking on the door of your homes

Passing the gun from father to feckless son
We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young
Passing the gun from father to feckless son
We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young

(Passing the gun from father to feckless son)
Oh, periscope up
I've been looking for a ladder
(We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young)
I need to see the Commander In Chief, ooh
And remind him what was passed on to me, oh

(Passing the gun from father to feckless son)
Oh, periscope up
I've been looking for a ladder
(We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young)

Live- Lightning Crashes
Album - Throwing Copper


Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
Her placenta falls to the floor
The angel opens her eyes
The confusion sets in
Before the doctor can even close the door


Lightning crashes
An old mother dies
Her intentions fall to the floor
The angel closes her eyes
The confusion that was hers
Belongs now, to the baby down the hall


Oh now feel it comin' back again
Like a rolling thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it


Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
This moment she's been waiting for
The angel opens her eyes
Pale blue colored iris
Presents the circle
And puts the glory out to hide, hide



Oh now feel it comin' back again
Like a rolling thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it
 
Wicked Garden - Stone Temple Piolets
Album- Core


Can you see like a child?
Can you see what I want?
I wanna run through your wicked garden
Heard that's the place to find you
'Cause I'm alive so alive now
I know that darkness binds you


Can you see without eyes?
Can you speak without lies?
I wanna drink from your naked fountain
I can drown your sorrows
I'm gonna burn, burn you to life now
Out of the chains that bind you


Can you see just like a child?
Can you see what I want?
Can I bring you back to life?
Are you scared of life?


Burn, Burn, Burn
Burn your wicked garden down
Burn, Burn, Burn
Burn your wicked garden to the ground- Yea


Can you feel pain inside?
Can you love?
Can you cry?
I wanna run through your wicked garden
Heard that's the place to find you
'Cause I'm alive so alive now
I know that darkness binds you


Can you see just like a child?
Can you see just what I want?
Can I bring you back to life?
Are you scared of life?

Tall Hope - Bobby Darin

Riding out, I'm riding the tall hope
The ship that I call hope
Has got me in its bow
Come and tell me tomorrow
To settle for small hope
I'm riding the tall hope, right now

Come thunder I don't shrink
Come lightning I don't scare
Come mayhem I don't think
I care to wrinkle my brow

Tomorrow, I might be grieving
or I might even wind up in jail
But right now I'm sailing
and everythings wailing
I'm dealing the tall tall hope right now

I said,

Come on thunder I ain't gonna shrink
Come on lightning I can't scare
Come on mayhem I don't think
I care to wrinkle my brow

Tall hope, I'm riding a tall hope
The ship that I call hope
Has got me in its bow
Come and tell me tomorrow
Just settle for small hope
I'm riding the tall hope, right now

Come on tell me tomorrow
Eliminate all hope
I'm riding a tall hope, right now

Twin Prime Conjecture
Nova Now



Prime is the number
That is only divisible by itself and 1
They have no other factors
Though they may have their detractors,
They are kinda fun


Cause they like to come in pairs
With a number in between,
Just like 5 skip 7, 41 skip 43
The name of our lecture
is the twin prime conjecture:
Primes will pair into infinity


Empirically we know
This pattern reappears
No matter how high we count
Will it keep on skipping just like this
Or somewhere down the line will it peter out?


Euclid first proposed this
Somewhere around 300 BC
But no ones ever proved it in all of history


Well this year Daniel Goldston
from the U of San Jose
says the pattern will continue in this skippy kind of way


The like to come in pairs
With a number in between
11 skip 13: 101 skip 103
The name of our lecture
Is the twin prime conjecture
Primes will pair into infinity.

A great song... I love the exquiste simplicity and cleanliness of those Knopfler bros guitars :)


Dire Straits - "Sultans Of Swing"

You get a shiver in the dark
It's raining in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
You feel alright when you hear that music ring

Well, now you step inside but you don't see too many faces
Coming in out of rain to hear the jazz go down
Competition in other places
Oh, but the horns, they're blowing that sound
Way on down south, way on down south London town

You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
Left-handed old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright
He can play the honky tonk like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
With the Sultans, with the Sultans of Swing

And a crowd of young boys, they're fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It ain't what they call rock and roll
And the Sultans, yeah, the Sultans, they play Creole, Creole

And then the man, he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
"Goodnight, now it's time to go home."
And he makes it fast with one more thing,
"We are the Sultans, we are the Sultans of Swing."
