no thread for ขุนนริทร์ศิลป์พิณประยุกต์ (Khun Narin's Electric Phin Band)?

ya it is nice. the record isn't as ambient/atmospheric as those videos but it's still impressive and fun stuff. i love this blurb:

"Khun Narin’s Electric Phin Band’s membership is always in rotation and spans several generations, from high school kids to men well into their 60s. A standard engagement has the band setting up at the hosting household during the morn- ing rituals, playing several low-key sets from the comfort of plastic lawn chairs occasionally working in a cover version of a foreign classic (The Cranberries ‘Zombie’ is a recent favorite) while the beer and whiskey flow freely. After a mid-day banquet, they start up the generator and lead a parade through the com- munity to the local temple, picking up more and more partiers along the way."

wanna join that jam session

i hate "from the comfort of plastic lawn chairs"

also "while the beer and whiskey flow freely"

why do you hate it? that's exactly what was going on in the videos that everybody loved

it was?

i didn't give a shit about the plastic lawn chair personally

neat. what else don't you care about? i'm all ears

lol

sorry for being so negative. i'd like to think people liked the videos mostly because of the music, which is what captured my attention. you feel me?

yea this album fucking rules. agree w/ crut i am generally not a fan of press-release type blurbs. sometimes i feel like the angle they take to describe the band makes them seem one-dimensional or hokey

i do love the music, but i think the videos had a charm that made me want to be there. i traveled in Thailand a bit and wished I'd stumbled across that somewhere, I dunno. I just like how there are kids out playing and people just hanging out throughout while this amazing music plays. it's a setting removed from the typical club show that i usually end up at, if that makes sense.

Looks like a new one is on the way...
