No, it’s not a mashup: it’s a riff-off. Twitter user @aprilpromise beamed this message to us from across the Twitterverse. A full range of thoughts passed over me, since there is some similarity between the, uh, notes of the guitar solo of Galactic Tides and this Korean pop song from the 90’s. I’ve added cued up video links below. This is a phenomenon I just cannot explain. None of us have ever heard of 늪 — 조관우, the artist (whom @aprilpromise refers to as “Slough”) or the song, but clearly they exist, and have the power of alto saxophone AND full symphonic accompaniment.

I’ve added a handful of videos to our youtube page. A somewhat curated collection of what is on the ‘net (with that girl from the bus)*. Happy weekend, happy father’s day, happy every day. ♥ Natalia
U+I: Acoustic interpretation. Appeared yesterday. Emotive, I think. What do you think? ♥ Natalia
This session was recorded back in March, the morning after Murray busted his knee. We had to record it backstage because, well, it was impossible for Murray to get around. Earlier that morning Murray and I visited what they call a “Rock Doc” in Boston, MA, who examined Murray’s leg surround by photos of himself with Mick Jagger, Bono, and other rock’n’roll alumni. Dr. Robert gave Murray a pair of crutches and sent us on our way, back to the venue, to record this session. Enjoy. ♥ Natalia
Hate Then Love, a guitar interpretation. Approval by Krief pending.
