Dear CoSo Fam:
Wishing a merry and groovy Christmas to all.
Yesterday was metal. Today it's pre-sunrise mellowness. I always feel nice when this pops up in my randomized playlist.
Chill out to the lovely Roygbiv from Boards of Canada.

From Trout Fishing in America way back in 1990 (and before they pivoted to produce mostly songs for kids) the album "Truth is Stranger than Fishin'" is a timeless gem.
You only have to listen once to their cover of John Gorka's "Prom Night in Pig Town" to have them etched into your memory. "Lost in Her Lips" is also great!
But today's pick is for all of the bass players on CoSo.
Here is "The Day the Bass Players Took Over the World"
If you're into music (and especially if you create music), it's easy to lose an entire morning digging into Jacob Collier's excellent videos.
Which is what happened again today {sigh}.
And the crazy harmonies he creates starting at around 1:50 always remind me of this fascinatingly creepy version of "Close to You" from MirrorMask:
Today is prog and metal day inside the lab, which is unrare.
Don't let the intro fool you. This is what could have happened if Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays had taken that left turn at Albuquerque. A jazz/prog/metal fusion that works.
Here is "Oiseau" from Kenta Shimakawa. If you dig, check out the whole album ("Glimpse")
(and if this is not hard enough for you, check out his track "Ambivalence (Shred Edition)")
🤘
Ummm...
For fans of Haken, Queen, System of a Down/Serj Tankian, Devin Townsend and (maybe?) Zappa. Wow.
Code's eclectic music pick of the day:
What fresh sacrilege is this?
And yet, it definitely works.
Here's Wax Tailor with "How I Feel"
Today it's rain. All day.
So it's gonna be the rainy day playlist. And I'm loving it.
Everyone should start their day with a happy bop.
Code's eclectic music pick of the day:
Sunday music. Here's Wim Mertens' "Loosening the Ropes"
It would be pretty hard to find another band that sounds this tight in a live setting. If they ever come to your area, and you dig this level of musicianship, get to it!
(Be sure check the funk change at 6:20-ish)

Side note: Why are so many YT videos out of sync (video <==> sound). Aggravating!
Code's eclectic music pick of the day:
Gotta slow my groove this morning. Maybe catch my breath after the last few days.
Code's eclectic music pick of the day:
Matters not if you call it prog, or math, or djent, or technical-whatever. There is a certain type of music lover whose brain will be tickled by this piece.
I'm one of them. Who knows, maybe you are, too?
Witness The Omnific with "Objets de Vertu"
