RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Bad Gear ( Audio Pilz) is my fave you tube channel . Not bass related , and more synth stuff . Musical genius, with a great sense of humour . His weekly show on Fridays is only 10 mins long approx , but great entertainment . I watch sonicstate also , which of later months is hit and miss . It depends who is on the panel on the day . Weds 4pm I tend to watch next day in case it gets boring . Some of the guests and topics are really good though . Gaz Williams is a phenomenal bass player ( also synths etc ) , and is good entertainment when he is on . looppop is a great reviewer of all things electronic . Highly recommend

Any update ?

Something like this ? Ashdown do/ did something similar .

I would not go ahead due to it being FB Marketplace , plus the fact that the ' seller ' is not exactly round the corner . That's just me ., and onky imho . You are right in being a bit twitchy , over sending £1, 000. Alarm bells should be ringing in your ears . Your decision at the end of the day .

Thanks for confirming it's not just me 😬. Being my first gig, it was one of the easiest songs to play . But , la la la la la la la la 🤐

Lulu- shout 🗣️

I only saw Sabbath twice . ( Dio 1980 hammy odeon / Ozzy Hyde park 2014) Up in the balcony for the Hammy O gig and hated it . Prefer Dio solo and saw him quite a few times over the years. Saw Ozzy solo a few times over the years also . So having said that , when I saw sabbath at Hyde Park I think Geezer was the driving force on the night . Sabbath played a blinder, but being not too far from the band , Geexer was phenomenal . I was listening to all my brothers sabs albums in the '70s and eventually I now have all the Ozzy era sabs studio albums . Dio era sabs not for me , although the neon nights singke is immediately punchy . Trouble with Dio, he was not a proper producer and he ruined some of his albums . Live Evil I did have , but moved it on . Preferred speak of the devil . I don't play that now. The production of some of the early sabbath albums was poor imho. Myself and a few friends were asking whether Bill ward was playing on buckets on master of reality . My fave is vol 4 . As for what is Geezers best baseline ..too many to choose from . fwiw, I never gave sabbath much consideration , when it became Tony and friends . I may have to have a listen to the stuff I've missed. many killer geezer bass lines probably 🙂

Orgasmatron - sepultura . Never thought motorhead would do a weak original 🙂

David Bowie & iggy pop- The passenger . When I was doing my very first gig on my ltd talents, we had to play this as the singer was all things Bowie . ( Actually , he was a more unenthusiastic version ) . I never heard it , until I had to learn it on a cassette tape. One boring monotonous drone really . " who's the other guy singing ? Sounds like he has a cold?" " That's iggy pop " I was informed .

Communards - Don't leave me this way . A good song completely ruined by sweep impersonations ( sooty and sweep ) Marillion - Kayleigh Wet Wer wet - love is all around . Wasn't that song no.1. In the charts for absolutely ages? . I know it's not the original either

Nearly forgot about another : Respect . Diana Ross? Very shouty . " re re re " " ooh ooh " Sounds like one shouty woman , and the rest agreeing with her .

Regarding Ilok , I purchased the moogerfooger plugins from a third party website . All good , until I had issues with Ilok. However , I got lucky as out of the blue Moog sent an email to a link that means I don't have to use Ilok anymore . Hurrah! I don't think my 2017 iMac will go as far as Sonoma , so in theory I shouldn't have much to worry about in the ltd software stuff I have . That said , there is another update tonight apparently on Ventura . I've just restarted the iMac now . Crapple seem to be doing updates almost weekly now , on my iPhone and iPad . They are like bored hyperactive children with no boundaries. The hassle that the updates were causing me , were mainly Reason who were slow to catch up . Hopefully , this update won't upset it again ..

Normally when someone says " trust me " ..you know they cannot be trusted . However, on this occasion trust me , sally is awful.😬

Frank cannon ...a Quinn Martin production . ( sorry can't do you tube clips ) Regarding Northern Exposure ; it's one of those series that I missed the start , and watched infrequently on channel 4 back in the day I was thinking of getting the dvd . Does it hold up now ? It's been quite a while since it aired . Yes, the theme tune is brilliant .

Regarding jukeboxes in pubs : myself and a few friends used to play a game for our amusement . We gave ourselves the task of finding what we thought was the worst song in the jukebox , and put in some coins and play it . "Sally " by Gracie Fields was the winner . The start of that song brings manic depression beating the like of morrissey ,and joy Division. Of course we never stuck around , after it came on . We just went to another pub 😬 As for Springsteen , can't stand his music but am impressed that he does/ did 3 hr sets for the fans . My ex boss idolised him . I just called it Budweiser music , which annoyed him . 🙂 I did play dancing in the park in a blues covers band , and surprisingly didn't mind it .

100% pony ? 🐴

Madness - my girl's mad at me

My boy lollipop 🤮

U2 - New Year's Day Bob Geldof - I don't like Mondays john Lennon - imagine Dire straits - walk on by Rolling Stones -Angie
