Last night, at the corner of 5th and Pine in front of Nordstrom, there was a great busker duo. Ordinarily, I’m either annoyed or simply unimpressed with buskers, but these two younger guys drew quite a crowdand with an unusual combo of instruments. One played a full drum set, and the other backed him up on…bagpipes. I’m ill equipped to describe the music they were making, but it was a great beat for two random guys to spontaneously rap along. The entire thing became it’s own genre: alternative Scottish hip-hop.
