[audio] Crowhurst live in Los Angeles, 23 May 2013

Crowhurst live at Five Star Bar, Los Angeles, 23 May 2013.

I had a video of this entire performance up on YT for a while, but YT killed it for, what else, copyright infringement. Which has me scratching my head, because it's all pretty much improvisational noise with a drummer.

The only thing I can think is that the singer recites a few lines from the 1960s rock song House of the Rising Sun (at about 17:00 in). But it's not like the band is playing the song; the singer is just babbling off the lyrics to more improv noise with a drum beat. Is that why YT killed the video? Do they consider that copyright infringement? Ridiculous.

But what does YT care? You've heard the expression regarding monstrosity companies like Google: 'too big to fail'? Well, Google/YT isn't too big to fail, they're too big to care. There are so many thousands of videos uploaded every minute to YT, what the hell do they care if they kill one of them, even if it is on the flimsiest of justifications?


So, that video is no more. But here's the audio.
