David K Reacts to Hi Ren... always welcome for Renegades! David comes at this from a music theater tradition. Cool Reaction! I have been waiting for him to tackle this for a while...
Congratulations Ren, Chris Webby and JP.... Neurodivergent reached
1,018,899 Views as of this morning! Another impressive mile store on an amazing project!
A great video essay from Drew Gooden on the Music Industry!!! Shows you why Ren, Skinner Brothers, Chris Webby and his talented friends want to be Independent. The music industry is a horrible rats nest!
I think people these day's need a "Funny Bone Transplant". This song and video is a hilarious Acid Trip! The creators of the video did an amazing job of turning a nonsensical song into a nonsensical video. The Easter Eggs are brilliant... Ren sits down has a bowl of peanuts/wheelchair (Hi Ren), Burning Sunflowers (Vincent's Tale-Prologue) Sick boi logo from many videos, Graffiti (from Screech's Tale), the Bar patrons (Baggage) and it just goes on and on. I can't even think of all the Webby Easter Eggs... not familiar enough with all his videos like Ren's.
Criticisms...
I don't like Chris Webby... Don't care/Don't listen... very simple solution
Ren shouldn't work with Chris... Ren's a big boy, he can work with anyone he likes
I think a lot of Ren Fans have a Par-social Relationship problem. I don't know Ren... I don't know Chris Webby... All we see are what these artist want us to see and that is exactly how I like it. As the old saying goes "Never meet your Hero's". Yes I think Ren is a really nice guy, but what would happen if left in a locked room for 4 hours? One of the people I went to High School with gained relative fame and the woman I knew were swooning ... Little did they know what an absolute bully and ass this gentleman was.... His band disintegrated after the #1 album ran its course.
Wow Caskets has reached 1,074,940 views in Two Weeks. Congratulations to Ren, Chris Webby and JP. Wow!!!
For some weird reason YouTube will recommend the entire Inpatient project except for Instigator. I will scan the recommendations and "Down the Road", "Neurodivergent" and "Caskets" will all be recommendations, but "Instigator" almost never comes up? It has 700,258 views but since this has been happening, "Neurodivergent has overtaken it at 759,626 views. I have actually had to go to Ren's YouTube page to play the YouTube video. Has anyone else noticed this YouTube behavior? It will recommend all sort of Ren songs with no sign of a song that only came out just over a month ago?
Early Music Sources does an excellent explanation of Counterpoint. Johann Joseph Fux wrote this most amazing treatise as a teaching tool using Palestrina as the teacher and Fux as the student! A great summary!
Can we talk about how "Catchy" these song are!!! Spent two weeks humming "Down the Road",,, then two weeks humming "Instigator" .... now it will be two weeks of "Neurodivergent"!!! "Bang, Bang, Bang... Bangers on the Daily"!!!
Still the best after all these years! Actually, sat and listened to the Brandenburg Concertos today by the Academy of St-Martin-in-the-Fields by Sir Neville Marriner. I have listened to this recording hundreds of times but it has become one of these favorites that play while I cook, clean, garden etc. A permanent fixture on my playlists! This was the first in a long time I actually took the time and concisely listened. I don't think I own another recording that has sparked such joy in my entire life. I purchased this recording the year that it came out on CD in 1984(?) (so very long ago). There are times that I just weep at the beauty and elegance of Bach's music presented by the talent that Neville Marriner collected from across Europe. There is a "Swing" to the rhythms and a "Joy" to the presentation that I have never found replicated on any other version of the Brandenburg Concertos.
Purchase from Bandcamp this Friday and all of the money goes to the Artist... Perfect time to buy any Ren that your missing!!!
