ahpook

Ha, that's nothing on The Proclaimers !

Sssssshhhhh ! I was trying to break @spongebob in gently!

Welcome....welcome indeed to a new and exciting world!

Is it ploughing on or carrying on working ? Depends on how you look at it, I guess.👍 If you're not ready to retire, and people want you to carry on working, why stop ?

I agree, it's the whole show as well, the whole bundle.... I was watching a few fairly recent Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry live videos recently, and yes...Mr. Ferry's voice ain't what it was, but it was a great show. People want to see him, so more power to him. Everyone seemed to be having a blast. All good. Now, I'd not go and see him, but saying nobody else should is a bit like saying, I dunno, I don't like dog shows, so they shouldn't hold them.

Good work! Particularly enjoyed Poker Face - nicely played.

Agreed - when you buy a replacement barrel socket, get a few if you can. They are indeed best viewed as consumables.

Very thorough @mahtar, and very well presented- thanks for posting this.

Hey, Slayer told you this....it really should be no surprise "There only one place to go...."

Looks a cracker, but that picture messes with my head... "Small bass, normal sofa...normal bass, tiny sofa....small bass, normal sofa....giant stand !!!!!" Arrgh!

You missed my point, but I can't be bothered.

I'm sure it stands as a suitable opposite to 'Take A Break !' I'm glad you don't find issue with my fourth example though - you're obviously a man of some taste

Beethoven Yes, and there's Solzhenitsyn and Dan Brown, Kubrick and Bay, The New Yorker and Take A Break!, Stargate SG-1 and Deep Space Nine, and so on... It's all art, it's all creative, you just need to know how to look at it.

Aha ! The first song that popped into my mind was also a bit of Hooky

It's odd...I've received very few compliments about my bass playing over the years, and those only from friends, so possibly not 100% unbiased opinion. I'm quite open about saying how much I enjoyed what someone's played or the part they've come up with...I know not everyone feels that relaxed doing that. When I read about folks here having old band members call them up to get new stuff together...also never happened to me... Maybe I'm not very good after all ! There are certainly days when I look at my bass collection and think 'who am I fooling?'.

How long is a piece of double-ball end string ? I generally think I'm worse at almost anything that someone else can do, so maybe I'm really good. I doubt it though.

It'll be a U2 album

Nice work. I enjoyed that - it went well with my Saturday lunchtime sci-fi film 👍

Plus the one. Fingers crossed !

I've listened to a few songs (cuts ? tracks ?) from it now and it's OK. I'm no fusion buff, but it pretty much what I'd expect from a fusion album. Pleasant enough - the excursions keep the ear interested, but nothing much really made me sit up and have a 'Heyyyyy !' moment. All expertly played though, no doubting that. There, that's enough serious Pook for the moment

I think you're right. Maybe a touch more 'Dirty Harry', I remember it being a bit more out there.

When fusion bands play live, are they on torus ?

It's like what my Mum would think Squarepusher sounded like if I tried to explain it to her and she could will the music into existence. Is this a good thing? Is it a bad thing ? Only Mum knows.
