Let's spread some musical misinformation

And it turns out that their religion is Orthodox Shintoism.

That's where you leave food at shrines for spirits. Buck has misunderstood and thought spirits were to leave him food. Poor Mike Mills would put out cornbread and whisky every night, which Buck would have as a midnight snack and then drunkenly scrawl things on little bits of paper and leave them on the shrine. Mills was amazed that the spirits consumed it all so voraciously, and Stipe turned the drunken koans into lyrics.

So don't blame Stipe for songs about clubs being called the two-headed cow, blame Buck.

Blue Oyster Cult was for a short time a cult. Their recruiting song was Don't Fear the Reaper - it professed their belief in eternal life thru heaven and rebirth - and anyone can play a cowbell. Christopher Walken was a member however, after he was rescued by Gregory Hines, the cult collapsed and they decided to just play music.

The DAW Reaper was created in honour of Gene Frenkel by former cultists. If you use the metronome feature you will discover it uses cowbell samples from the original, isolated session tapes.

The last clip shows how tambourines are not made, they just sometimes spontaneously come into existence, which is where all tambourines come from. The same thing must happen with banjos and accordions as you would never knowingly create such things apart from in the hollowed-out volcano lair of a super villain.

Yes it is. Clip title is 'plays his face off' but his face remained on. It's nothing anyway, it's how they play it at our church to 'Michael Rows the Boat Ashore'. But you ought to hear the guitar solo and extended prog-rock vamp in 'To be a pligrim'. That's something else.

But on the plus side the metal disks in tambourines will become rigidly fixed and they'll become unplayable.

Question remains, have they ever been playable?
