Wishlists

Feeling generous and don't want to give me cash? Then buy me some shit!

  • T-shirt Hell - NOTE Please check current import duty restrictions for sending stuff to the UK. Order too many and the bastards will charge me!
  • Amazon UK - mainly books, but some other stuff, too.
  • ThinkGeek - got to love weird geeky stuff. Again, please note import restrictions - and the postage from here is ridiculous.

That’s System of a Violin. I made that up, but it works. Anyway, check this out for a pretty awesome cover of System of a Down‘s “Toxicity” by three fairly attractive women as performed on two electric violins and a drum kit.

  • This would have been a good one to include in my When musical worlds collide post. Do you know if this was a one off or do they do this sort of thing on a regular basis? I’ll go and explore YouTube to see what it says about them. :-)

  • Everyone be nice to David as he’s one of my course supervisors…! I’ll add your music blog to my RSS feed as well. In the meantime, I also highly recommend that you check out this earlier post about Van Canto, a German metal band featuring one drummer and five vocalists! I’ve got their album and it’s superb. As for the violin girls, I think this is a one-off but I’d be interested in hearing more myself.

  • Holy Mac, that is BRILLIANT.

    Just needs a bald man with a moustache to rant into a microphone and then it’d be perfect…

  • I’m often impressed by how well metal songs stand up to purely instrumental adaptation. I’ve got a couple of albums of string versions of various acts and they’re all pretty good.
