This came up as an ad before a video on Youtube. I should just make sure that sinks in - I was watching a normal, actual video (the kind that you deliberately click on because you genuinely want to watch it) and this thing came up.
I was intrigued by the MIDI trumpets and decided to watch the whole thing. What I got was MIDI Big Band, and a fucking creep grunting very quietly into a microphone.
I can't figure this out - he's obviously blown quite a bit of money on the video (all of those dancers, and the band and all of that) and spent extra money getting the video advertised on Youtube. All of that money and effort for what really might be the worst thing I've heard, ever.
Fucking love it.
What the...that was so awful it made my head hurt a little bit. I think my brain was trying too hard to figure out how this might be good, or how it could make sense as to why it was even created, but it didn't get anywhere. It's just stupid, and I would love to know who paid for this to happen and why.
Might I ask what this video you were watching was?
I skimmed through all of this guy's videos, and slowly went from confusion to anger. There's nothing inspiring or memorable or even catchy about any of his songs, and listening to the "instruments" just makes me sad. This is from the description of the video for "Blue Lover":
The best of Ric Mysterie blues. No lies, no disguise...Just up-beat blues that will have you dancing in the aisles.
I think this guy is totally aware of what he's doing, but I'm not positive. The worst part is that, in some of the comments people are actually complimenting him on his talent (apparently, he's got a great voice) and want to buy his stuff on itunes. It just baffles me. I never want to hear this shit again.
One more thing, though: why does Ric Mysterie's logo look like Pizza Hut?
"why does Ric Mysterie's logo look like Pizza Hut?"
Well, have you ever heard of the cargo cults in WW2? These undeveloped societies would see that Allied airstrips would seemingly attract cargo planes full of supplies and goodies, so the tribal people would build their own landing strips out of bamboo (with little towers, runways, jeeps, whatever - they'd even stand there and mimic the same moves that the landing crew would make) in an effort to get the planes to come back.
I basically suspect that Ric Mysterie saw the Pizza Hut logo once, remembers that he liked the pizza, and is hoping that the logo will attract deliverymen.
