Drove all the way to my bass lesson listening to The Specials first album, spent the lesson playing It’s Up To You, drove home listening to The Specials first album. F****** hell, Sir Horace Gentleman, just... f****** hell.
Can I just fix this item on the list...
3. @wrinkleygit, Jabba’s Semi Hollow Fretless (which will be in @Frank Blank’s corner probably whilst he has a punch up with @wrinkleygit that @Jabba_the_gut tries unsuccessfully to break up but is finally resolved when lunch is dished up which scuppers @Frank Blank’s plan to steal @wrinkleygit’s Jabba built fretless because @Frank Blank has eaten so many roast spuds he can no longer fit the bass inside his resolutely unfashionable dungarees which were specifically designed to enable the nefarious deed). ‘72 Gibson EB0, SWR Working Mans 10 combo & 1x10 ext cab & a set of h’phones. Both basses strung with Labella flats
Well this week I enjoyed Nérija very much (bass player was playing a Shine bass that sounded great), lovely to hear some current jazz, particularly liked the track Last Straw. Enjoyed Metrenomy too for no particular reason.
Genius indeed, Monk is one of my favourite musicians simply because sometimes he sounds so disjointed and dissonant but it always swings like a really big swing with a heavy thing swinging on it. What a dude.
This is because Sleaford Mods and Richard Dawson, between them, give all the social comment you need, while mainstream music has become (some might argue again) das opium des volkes.
