Enjoy.

Did Yoko Ono have a daughter I wasn't aware of?

I've heard cats make similar sounds while choking to death on chicken bone splinters.


That bitch is on some serious shit to have even thought that sounds remotely harmonic.


Congrats JR, you are the first person that made me ever want to stab my ears out.

I made it to :42 seconds and couldn't take anymore of that noise.

While I have zero musical abilities, I believe what she is doing is called grunting.  Then again, I could be mistaken.

Interesting fact about Yoko Ono:

Lennon said many times that he never wanted his body to be cremated when he died.  The thought of it was appalling to him.

Within 24 hours of his death, Yoko had him cremated, without consulting any of his other surviving family.

Nice.

People actually paid to see that? Last I checked, there wasn't a whole lot of disposable income in Mexico.

Paid?  Not only that, she's an award winner in Canadia!


Inuk throat singer Tanya Tagaq beat out Arcade Fire, Drake, Mac DeMarco and others to win the Polaris Prize, Canada's annual award for the country's best full-length album of the year.



The outspoken singer, who has spoken about her indigenous peoples' reliance on seal for food, clothing and other uses, was blunt in her acceptance speech, saying, in part, "People should wear and eat seal as much as possible. An indigenous culture is thriving and surviving on a renewable resource: wearing and eating seal. It's delicious, and there's lots of them, and fuck PETA." Earlier this year, Tagaq raised the ire of animal rights activists after posting a picture of her daughter next to a dead seal. She subsequently received online death threats.

"HEEE HEEE HEEEE HEEE HEEE!"

That sounds more like an asthma attack.

Here's some actual throat singing:

no, just no. I seriously wonder about a culture that developed that as art. Maybe their brains were frozen.

Actually I think that sounds pretty awesome.  Hard to believe a human can make those complex sounds.

I'm not saying it's easy listening or anything, or that I'd want to listen to more than a few minutes of it, but it does sound pretty amazing.
