Tesla released a SiriusXM app in their Holiday update (streaming, no hardware needed). It came with a 30 day free preview. So while listening to Octane tonight, The Summoning by Sleep Token came on, and promptly threw me for a loop trying to figure out its time signature(s). According to some random Redditer it's all 4/4 @ 173bpm but there's some insane triplets and polyrhythms that make it sound like some combination of 6/8 and 4/4 or some other odd time. https://youtu.be/wJNbtYdr-Hg?si=E8OUWcAsZyAzY1zn

Toot

Talking to my kid tonight about some new music discovery on Octane, including some country metal. Definitely recognizable as country, but dump the derivative bro country cold beer, pickup trucks, & tight jeans lyrics, add in some crunchy drop-tuned power chords and a metal drummer, and the result is surprisingly solid even for non country fans.

Kid starts singing in this twangy accent, "Ahm cuuntree, but ah got feelins, sumtahms I get ril dee pressed"

I damn near choked I was laughing so hard.
