I was just like, 'Hey, can I sit?' So I sat. WHY IS THIS MY FAVORITE SENTENCE

[@stephanstewart5598]

Tash Sultana is by far one of the most creative and unique artists of modern day music.

[@amwartwork]

ish. dubfx and xavier ?

[@samkutz9090]

Time for Wakey Wakey Thank you for introducing me to Dub FX; he’s pretty great. I am from America and hadn’t heard of him. That said, I very much think Tash Sultana shouldn’t be considered in that group.

[@JenniferCoffee]

She is so naturally gorgeous...and then add in her incredible skill and then epic taste in music....I just can't...Hot!

[@patrickrosington1174]

Id give my balls away to be able to just play music with her for a day

[@Knight3434]

Or shes a child with child thoughts. Pretty common. Have children one day.

[@t.l3095]

Soooo in love with her personality! Such a beauty too

[@abrielr]

Man, she has impeccable taste in music. I’ve been a fan of hers since I saw her Tiny Desk Concert. So talented and down to Earth. ✌🏻

[@tretre7989]

I love her style and style in music she's so down to earth

[@grizzly8243]

She likes Alt-J, i love her even more

[@tita5401]

[@oh_itsjenna]

[@heatherherron6174]

Jenna Rae I swear I've been asking myself the same thing! Never had a crush on a girl... til now! Lmao 😂

[@ClaraBaaabyx]

HA RIGHT

[@madelinecatherinelilley]

SAME AHAHA

[@MR-zz3zb]

I can't man.... she's cute.

[@nowitssovivid1273]

Omg, I know. It's distracting.

[@CloudiaTinley]

Wow her eyes are mesmerising. Love her style ✌️

[@novembershadows1]

I just listen to "Notion" for the first time 2 days ago. I listen and look for everything Tash is doing now or has done, I must say she has great taste in music, the moment she said "dreams" I instantly understood why I have to hear everything she has done! Many blessings Tash~~~

[@Kaypee777]

The first song I listened to of hers was Notion - That was 3 weeks ago and it's still stuck in my head, love it so much!

[@samkutz9090]

That was the first one I heard from their Ted Talk video and I was incredibly intrigued and then when I first heard Blackbird my jaw physically dropped multiple times and now I need to hear everything too.

[@shellyortiz1977]

Oww she has a great taste in music .

[@johnlarsen1136]

I only discovered Tash last night and I was instantly like "Holy shit we got a brand new Erykah Badu in the world!!" Soooo, the first thing on this list ain't surprising.

[@speckyhotdog84anderson6]

She could possibly be one of the most coolest unique authentic artist that we have have seen for a very long time. this lady is here to stay👍

[@catarinacosta1691]

Ahahaha!! That's the most perfect description of what Alt-J's Taro makes me feel!!!!

[@tarheel777100]

FINALY! Someone appreciates Tangerine 😌 now I can die in piece

[@tita5401]

Her eyes kills me aaaa 😍 And the dimples aaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@1395tito]

I have not listened to Taro in years and I completely forgot about this song. Thank you Tash for reminding me of the song that I absolutely fell in love with years ago

[@Claude-Eckel]

... the moment when she mentions one of your favourite songs and where or when she always plays it and it's exactly when you play this song all the time as well. And you're just going... o.O

[@fernandog.aguirre2791]

she is amazing, gorgeous pair of eyes! and soooo talented !

[@Julieseven]

OMG!! My favourite Alt J song is Taro as well!!! It's amazing!! and so are you Tash

[@dogscratchedoor]

I had Dreams set to play over and over and over when I was coming up. Just never got tired of it.

[@ditarailey5110]

Her music causes my brain to fire off on all cylinders!!! Consumed by her work, music and stories. On another level!!

[@carmenlyles4171]

Oh my god, I've fallen in love witht this woman😍😍😍😍

[@SuperRobertoClemente]

This is a really illuminating list for understanding their sound, actually... reminds me of Stephin Merritt talking about how David Bowie's "Low" completely changed the way drums were recorded-- it uses these like superlayered drums. Tash thinks about songs as composed of all these pieces because they have the technology to put them together in real time. Awesome

[@yoshyusmc]

HAHA! My mom cleaned the house listening to Fleetwood Max as well! So now my daughter is a fan and her friends are also like what are you listening too?

[@realkeanureviews]

to think it all started with tape looping in the 1960's and currently we have talented artist Tash Sultana with her modern loop skills and never ceases to blow one's mind!

[@amandahopkins3842]

Tash you are amazing! Rock on!

[@lataziaedits4452]

Wow She has a great Taste in music and she is Beautiful!!!!

[@gurue6815]

[@nicholalynn9874]

Love listening and watching Tash’s interviews, #uktashfan

[@sunbear_413]

Tash is so brilliant. And it's seems fitting that Taro by Alt-J is one of her favorites. That's one of my top 5 favorite songs too!

[@larablake8531]

Yeeeessss! First person to describe my feeling toward Dreams- Fleetwood Mac. I love this chick 🐥 💕

[@williampuckett8987]

[@mararoth3490]

[@christinapickett2950]

Fleet Wood Mac lead singer is my favorite White Witch, I love Stevie thanks for recognizing

[@luckyhippy4898]

I've always wanted a tash and alt j collab

[@jenxc1213]

Tash is perfect WOAH

[@kimberlyrosas9240]

Tash You, Your Made my day by mentioning "Dreams" by Fleetwood mac! Please be mine.

[@pedrogomes9126]

how this is so relatable?! If I was a girl, I'd be her FOOOOR sure

[@BlackSnow2389]

Apparently "Taro" by Alt-J is about the process of a war photographer(Robert Capa) dying after stepping on a land mine and getting his leg blown off. He reunites with his partner, Gerda Taro, who was also a war photographer and died earlier. It's a very weird song. Tash, I don't know if you ever looked at the lyrics, but if you did and still liked the song, you got weird tastes. But I respect that. I actually did like the song more when I read the lyrics and knew what the song was about because I'm in to weird, disgusting poetry.

[@1Pineapple]

Weird taste is the best taste 😁👌

[@Martoto94]

What a surprise. She not only makes great music but also has great taste in music.

[@MultiRwarren]

YES .. Tangerine .. YES

[@RAINE____]

My Fleetwood Mac memory is from cleaning the house with family too!! How weird

[@AprilRoots.]

Same here... I started to cry because of this

[@heatherherron6174]

RAINE me too! So weird!

[@cheyennelamar8581]

Yep same with my family!!(:

[@belindacinotti7193]

Ur amazing xxxxx

[@69muscat]

Maltese blood , rock on , love it

[@ericnichol]

The phil collins story is a rumor. I love the song tangerine as well. Love zepp and i love your stuff. Your amazing

[@DanielSan108]

Would love to smoke a joint with her :)

[@alejandrabailey2853]

Didn't chan know- Erykah Badu Taro- Alt-J Dreams- Fleetwood Mac Tangerine- Led Zeppelin In the air- Phil Collins Tash is the best 🖤

[@mikewags79]

All great songs, I was anticipating Purple Rain being one of them. Tasha's guitar playing is probably the only one that I've ever heard that resembles Prince, especially the guitar solos in Notion and Jungle.

[@JeremyK-L]

A little too generous, Princes is a complete virtuoso.. Her playing is pretty simple, or dare I say novice compared to his. She sure doesn't have a lack of feel/emotion in her playing though thats why she's where she at.

[@jessefinch4071]

Nah Prince actually had talent this girl couldn't lace up his shoes.

[@JeremyK-L]

Well said.

[@doptimist]

I’m sorry fella, she seems lovely and her enthusiasm is magic but she’s a terrible guitarist 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@daisy_submarine]

ooooouuuh do a dreams cover Tash

[@wastefellow2569]

Natasha Shishani, I think she did tons of times

[@sammehluv]

@@wastefellow2569 I haven't found it

[@majesticmicrobes60]

How did I know she’s a zeppelin fan 😍

[@CharmsTrillMartinez]

I love you!!!

[@emilyc.2674]

yaaaaaaaaaas Alt-J

[@VeraOnTrack]

Yaaaas! We've also spoken to Alt-J's Joe & Gus - have you seen that? kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmTbpGOcrsR-kNU

[@melchiorao9759]

Tash is a spunk ^^

[@bethanyferris7592]

Awe! A girl after my own heart!

[@jaesynmicoli7849]

Ah... they're after my own heart ♥️ Same. Dreams by Fleetwood Mac take me places. Same with your music. And Erykah Badu?! Yes 🙌🙌 Another song you should check out is Keaton Henson, 'You.'

[@strabe30]

Please do a cover of dreams, I’d cry.

[@lindahalani1060]

Gonna ck out Tara by Alt J...thanks for sharing, sounds like my kinda groove!

[@slowmotionfeel]

If only that Phil Collins story was true. It's not at all true. The man himself has said it's about his bitterness with the end of his first marriage. It's very symbolic but the lack of specificity in the lyrics allows for varied interpretations.

[@seancreagh8978]

Had to look this one up myself because it was very interesting but yea, not true.

[@brakeme1]

weird she(tash) would say that as if she knows

[@bodybalancer]

Tash- I wish I had wrote Murder to the Mind and Jungle - you're a Godsend.

[@humbertaesquer4364]

Chula yr gifted frm God mija i pray for you

[@TheGstein]

"Most of these stories include an ending where Phil Collins eventually invites the offending guy to one of Collins’ concerts, giving him a front row seat, then sings In the Air Tonight and reveals to the crowd how this man stood by and let someone die when he could have saved him. These messages however are just myths as Phil Collins has pointed out. In a recent interview with Jimmy Fallon, Phil Collins tells him the truth behind the hit song, which is actually about going through a divorce."

[@wanda6483]

i cant fucking deal with this shes so amazing IM in love habshs

[@Eusouamazonialifes]

[@Troteos]

[@victtorialissa]

[@christinegelhausen3258]

[@ludwigvonn9889]

Alt J lol... she described it well... Love alt j

[@cjohns299]

1) I love that her favorite song is produced by none other than J-Dilla. And 2) That bit about Phil Collins is a well-known myth, the song was about his divorce.

[@markanderson9123]

I think Eminem said something about In The Air Tonight in his song "Stan".

[@lejo1233]

her eyes....

[@leahbaer-adler3995]

Tash you made me bi and I'M SO HAPPY

[@mallorylyman7747]

[@badalhasss]

[@thenomadicpen]

She's adorable because she thinks that story about PC is true.
