Have I told you lately that I Love Frank Zappa and his mates? I especially love when they groove in 19/16 and with such perverse persuasion, you just gotta laugh.
If you have been feeling like something has been missing in your life, its probably that you haven't felt a 19/16 like this yet.
The Groove starts around 3:13.
And you gotta see the performance version even though they've cut the 19/16 section.

Vicariously enjoying 5/4
Lately I have been getting into playing/writing (coming soon) in 5/4. Not 5/8 where its subdivided 2-3 or 3-2 but a straight 5, as in 4/4 + 1 = 5/4. This is a cool groove meter where its easy not to sound 'odd' if that's what you are going for. Feel this FIVE and see how Tool are masters of making the meters flow.

Jambin' a nice NINE
I like what Tool does with this 9/8, a 4+5 pattern, and to break it up a bit, there is also some 12/8, 18/8(8/8 + 10/8).
Did you feel it? I mean, reaaalllly feel it?, that nine melding with your etheric vibration, altering your brainwaves and opening your third eye? If not, listen to it until see those double-iris-eyed lizards, for they are there right in-front of you.
Nine openin' your mind.

Y'all like 7-8 eh?
And the winner is...
Yup, 7-8 it is... Is it that circular feeling you get when you play it or the skipped ahead to something better OCD feeling that gets ya? or maybe its because its July or you still have that Traci Lords song in your head... or something else totally different... oh do tell
Haha Thank you everyone for voting... and perhaps next time I will have a cool prize.

My Ode to Odd Time
My Ode to Odd Time
7/8 is great but not if the drummer hesitates
9/4 is never a bore with the right kind of score
17/16 can be quite obscene
but not as bad as
7/16 which has been seen to be quite mean
13/8 is not to hate as long as its played at a reasonable rate
21/4 sure is a favorite on the Zappa tour
9/16 under most circumstances remains keen
although 5/16 unfortunately is not in my rhythmic genes
but on a similar note 3/8 is difficult to coordinate
but will have your date subordinate
5/4 will have you at the door asking for more
15/16 has never been described as a serene green
and at the other end of the spectrum
6/8 qualifies as pinnate and did you know that
4/4 is never found in mathcore
9/8 can be mistakenly innately
3/4 which is never a poor chore in contrast to
3/16 which is a bit lean to be clean
11/8 is not to abbreviate or the results might annihilate
13/16 in my book remains the hook of the queen and on top of that
5/8 is my favorite warning of fate but most of all
7/4 is the one that I truly adore
I'm Odd,

Happy Birthday OTO
Today Odd Time Obsessed Radio turns one year old.
Yes, its been 365 days since the day I pushed that "start your own radio station" button. Its been great. Thanks to all the listeners and obsessers and writers and musicians, you have made this year quite interesting and fun. Here's to another year of obsessing the boundaries of FOUR.
Keeping it ODD,
Yours truly,
