Worst Vibraphone Ever Public Access Television Train Wreck Pt. 1

I know jazz is about freedom to be creative, but this is a little too creative.

This is the best film David Lynch never made.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I reckon Lynch was raised on P.A.television. very Erasure Head

[@jonathanwalker8730]

@@raelene101 I genuinely love this video; it's so authentically strange. What is PA television? We don't have that in the UK as far as I'm aware. Oh, hang on, I've just looked it up - Public Access. Fantastic. Looks like I'm in for a late night.

I still work at one on an as needed basis, the music ya, it is this bad. We have a 'country' group that cones in 1 x a month, and the dogs within a 50 mile radius start howling when the lead singer 'yodels'. However, remember, DON'T MESS WITH BINGO, and everything will be all right.
