And text only thus far. The Epstein files aren’t emails, they are TERABYTES of CSAM and worse videos and pictures.

I don’t have Daddy issues, I have issues with my father. My relationship with my Daddy is fantastic.

And thats how I had all my teeth pulled before age 35! My ability to eat improved and now it’ll cost me tens of thousands in debt to get anything functional in their place!

My pleasure, friend. I’m a major guitar nerd and Tosin is one of the most skilled and creative modern guitarists I know of and I love to sing his and AaL’s praises.
The Brain Dance is another excellent, more recent and much softer song of theirs. I’d also recommend you check out Tosin’s live playthrough of Wave of Babies on the EMG YT channel.
Regardless, if you or another reader is interested in guitar-centric instrumental rock give these a listen. Unlike AaL, I wouldn’t call any of these bands heavy FWIW;
Covet
Chon
Scale the Summit (stick to old stuff)
Intervals (new stuff)
Polyphia

Just to follow-up on this in a bit more detail for you and other readers; Animals as Leaders is a three piece instrumental band with Toxin, another guitarist Javier Rayes^1 and a drummer, Matt Gartska. The band lacks a bassist for a nifty reason.
Whereas the typical guitar has 6 strings, Tosin and Javier both play 8-string guitars. Those two extra strings are tuned lower and allow a guitar to play the same low notes as a bass. These two dudes dont swap roles so much as accompany themselves, though. They’re both incredibly talented and create music with rhythmic complexity and depth.
Physical Education is catchy and bouncy and the music video is silly. They dont take themselves very seriously, but they do take their music and performance seriously. All three are extremely skilled musicians.
^1: Javier’s solo project Mestís is also amazing. Softer than AaL and heavily inspired by Spanish rhythms and melodies.

I was gonna be telling but I’m glad you beat me to it.
Instead, I will VERY LOUDLY EMPHASIZE THAT TOSIN ABASI IS ONE OF THE BEST MODERN GUITARISTS AND EVERYONE SHOULD LISTEN TO HIS BAND ANIMALS AS LEADERS

Hell yeah love that blog. I should see if Triethylaluminium is in there…I briefly had an internship working with it and handling pyrophorics in a vacuum glove box was a certain sort of thrill to be sure.
