Nothing too tricky. Eric Church - Drink in my Hand will do.

Met the original bass player on the day he was born in 1973. He's my little brother. Met the guitarist in 1974, when we were both four years old on our first day at school. Met the singer ten years later at school. The original drummer was a housemate of the guitarist and singer. One day his computer went in to be fixed and some photos were found. He got a place on the sex offenders register. Our singer is now a teacher, so funnily enough... I became the bass player when my brother left as I was the least competent guitarist. I met the new drummer last Sunday. He's our guitarist's hairdresser. Sorted.

My brother. He left the band so we needed a bass player. I was the second best guitarist...

You should get in touch with the Nobel committee and tell them to rescind Dylan's literature award.

They're my favourite band, based mostly on the five IRS albums, and Mike Mills is one of my musical templates as a bass player. If I didn't have them to "borrow" from I'd have written only about half of the songs we play. The mid period five albums clearly struck a chord worldwide and have some of their very best songs (Nightswimming, Find the River). I guess they just got bored after years of just playing the same instruments and songs and tried something different. For me, NAIH is their last great album. Once Bill Berry left though the heart seemed to go out of it. The last five albums are, to me, the five weakest. All have a few good songs on them but that's a poor return compared to the earlier stuff.

Supposedly Iggy Pop's China Girl isn't actually about heroin, as I'd assumed for many years, but a woman, Kuelan Nguyen.

At the risk of being controversial: I live five minutes walk from the Brickmakers but never, ever go there. Whilst it's great that they support live music, as a pub it's just awful (decor, beer etc). It's a shame as it wouldn't take much to make it a pleasant place to go.

I'd love to be able to claim a Gram Parsons/ Mike Mills style Nudie suit as stage wear, but the originals are a bit £££ and I've never seen a decent copy for sale

Nothing useful to add except another Seloc 👋

Both types, country and western

Please say you're in a Can tribute band

Amen to that

Not physical appearance, but early 90s, around 10am, I was walking round the house, wearing nothing but a Telecaster, and swigging from a bottle of spirits. I looked up to see the window cleaner staring in at me. I did the only thing I could in the situation: raised the bottle in greeting then wandered off. I like to think it looked pretty rock n roll

Hmm. "Naturesupplies are a online supplements shop who source only the best products from around the world to provide our customers a quality product at an affordable price." Doesn't exactly sound like a company in the bass cab market. If it sounds too good to be true...

Fender FSR 73 Jazz. Looks like a J, sounds like a P. Best of both worlds

Organisation. Oh, and a VW Passat estate

I mostly listen to jazz, opera and country. I confine myself to playing country. I'm definitely not good enough for the other two

Plus there's always the danger that the dep may be a better player or more fun to be around than me

Did you have any luck with this? I've considered doing the same thing but can't find anything

My avatar. The pic on the left is actually Winnie the Pooh. I don't look like him

I use a Fender PJ for country/country rock, with the P on about 80% and the J on 20-30% usually. Oh, and roundwounds.
