I just got back from the local pub, where I participated in a fiery musical discussion revolving around a certain Jimmy Herring. I didn't know who he was - I still don't know - but we sure talked about him. It was part of a larger debate over the merits of technical, flashy musicianship. To be honest, I wasn't paying much attention because 1) the bar had Shiner Bock on tap (mmmmmmm), and 2) I've never been impressed by purely technical music. Sure, I can appreciate a good violin concerto or Victor Wooten solo, but I can't really learn anything from them. Maybe because I'm the anti-thesis of virtuosity? I prefer stuff that has a great feel to it, or a more lyrical style of playing.

But no matter what, I will forever and always hate Pink Floyd.
