Those are some cool tracks. Great guitar playing in the second one. I’m working late tonight and listening to Cannonball Adderley. The song title feels appropriate.
-
One of my all-time fav Lips tracks. Play it as loud as possible and just let the song wash over you
-
I love this arrangement of "My Shining Hour"
-
Lee 'Scratch' Perry died Gotta spin some reggae and dub today in Scratch's honour I have always really enjoyed this collab between him and King Tubby.
-
Some more Dusty, a song where he takes the lead vocal:
-
Dusty Hill died He was a very solid and pretty underrated bassist
-
Had this one on repeat for days now. Working hard on learning the bass line. I'll never be able to play it like The Ox, but I will get as close as I can...

“Carnival” is my #1 favourite pillows song for sure
-
I’m going to be on a heavy pillows kick for at least a few more days. Feeling pretty nostalgic tonight…
-
I've been listening to a bunch of Tribal Tech the last few days. Gary Willis is an incredible bass player. I only own/play 4 string basses, but listening to him more has got me seriously considering picked up a 5'er to try to learn some of his lines...

Yeah, I guess I'm the same. There are very few bands/singers where I actively listen to the vocal tracks. I'm usually just focused on the music. As for Pixies, I was thinking a bit more about that. Many of the great Pixies songs make pretty heavy use of the loud/quiet/loud (or vice versa) dynamic. Basically the style that Kurt Cobain was going for when he wrote "Smells Like Teen Spirit". I could think up some song recommendations along those lines if my brain would cooperate with me... it's been a stupid day at work

One of the worlds greatest session bass players - Pino Palladino - has done quite a bit of work with D'Angelo. I guess I've only really listened to D'Angelo's stuff for the purpose of listening to Pino's bass work, which seems kinda unfair now that I think about it... I guess I should look up D'Angelo on Spotify and really see what his music is about.

For a week now, it's been a whole lot of Echo and the Bunnymen in my rotation: But also some fusion jazz mixed in too:
-
If you like “Bone Machine” then start with their earlier material. Come On Pilgrim EP and then Surfer Rosa. I don’t think I’m familiar with that YouTube channel but I’ll check it out!

On a big Pixies kick this week. I wore their albums out in high school / college. It's been years since I last listened to them because of how much I over-listened to them years ago. Really enjoying hearing these songs again now though

Been spinning The Flaming Lips' latest album (American Head) this week. To my ears, a lot of their output since The Soft Bulletin (which is already 22 years old this spring! ) has sounded kinda same-y. More keys and synths, less guitar, more pop oriented song stylings and less rocking (with the exception of Embyonic). My ultimate Lips lineup was in the mid '90s. Transmissions from the Satellite Heart and Clouds Taste Metallic are two of my favourite albums ever. It took me years to come around to The Soft Bulletin and the other albums since then, but even then I don't really enjoy all the songs and I still like '90s guitar-rock Lips best... But there are some pretty good songs on American Head. Gotta give it a few more listens yet to really form a final opinion.

RIP Chick Corea He was an incredible player and composer
-
His sons are all very talented too. Chris Brubeck on bass is fantastic:
-
Enjoying me some Grand Funk lately. This is a fun bassline to jam along to:
-
Donny Benét's song "Konichiwa" was apparently included on a playlist The Weeknd put out earlier this year showcasing the music that inspired the After Hours album
-
I just discovered this dude Donny Benét today. It's a kinda goofy take on 80's pop and disco. Pretty incredible stuff. The bass line on "Mr Experience" I'm gonna take a deep dive into his albums on Spotify over the weekend.
