Nail Soup

Sounds like he is simply playing the snare on beats 1 and 3, instead of the normal backbeat of 2 and 4. You know - the way some people clap along to music.

No, but I think I found one that really takes the biscuit https://metro.co.uk/2015/06/01/21-british-biscuits-ranked-from-worst-to-best-the-definitive-list-5224653/

Betty Harris - There's a Break In the Road. Just heard this on 6 music... it seems to pop up there quite often. Brilliant track all round, but the drumming is something else.

Well, the Eurovision song contest started in 1956

I never do this. But after reading some of the explanations above I'm tempted to start!

Had a quick look, and what can you do - it's a bunch of well-known decent songwriters in a randomish order. Good for a light read, can't be taken too seriously. But I have no problem with Dylan being number 1. I agree (well to a lesser extent!) with fretmeister- Lennon and Mcartney are pioneers, but let's not that let us over estimate their abilities.

Careful though- too many kebabs could give you heart attack.

I believe Trip Advisor gave it the top ranking

The Uptown Top Ranking (totally love that song BTW) reminds me of the kebab shop I saw in the Spanish town of Altea. Well it amused me enough to take a pic anyway!

Take Mark E Smith of the Fall for example... a few songs are extended rants, but more often puts a lot into a single pithy phrase. I like both though!

Not as good as I was hoping, a few funny bits scattered in there. Should have been 30 mins max IMO. The Brian Pern program from the same guy was a lot better.

Yes, I was surprised when I first heard that.... Never had him down as a major fan of Syd era Floyd!

I'm prepared to pretend to listen for £400 a session .

Gary and Martin Kemp from Spandau Ballet have made a mockumentory. BB2 at 10pm tonight think. Made by the same guy who made the Brian Pern mocku. Might be worth a watch - I'm planning to anyway! We might even get a bass gag from or at Martin.

I've re-read the OP, and yes I maybe missed the point a bit. sounds like OP is kind of objective-oriented in there playing at home e.g .will play to learn to new song or whatever, but not for intrinsic reasons. So perhaps new objectives, not a new bass. So as others have said, new genre, different instrument (e.g DB, guitar), or maybe writing basslines for online collaborations.

When you get a new instrument there is normally a Breville Sandwich Toaster effect, but if it’s a good fit for you then there can be an increase in use long term.

Are you thinking about the Rogue Male cover?

Thanks for reminding me that I have not practised any band songs since lockdown! I am relying on a last minute splurge before the rehearsal.

I’m inclined to agree with that.

Siouxsie and the Banshees - Hong Kong Garden Lyric: "Hong Kong Garden Take-away - lay your Yen on the counter please" A) UK take-aways accept payment in sterling, regardless of the nationality of the cuisine B) Yen is/was not the currency of Hong Kong / China

Might be some truth in it........ when I was a teenager, my default answer to anyone asking how I was or what I thought about something was a grudging, semi-grunted "all right"!

I love this, and the 3 or 4 other songs by them which got a fair bit of play on 6 Music. Great racket from a 3 piece.

If I were ever to upgrade my ukulele to one which cost a ridiculous amount of money (to be honest that probably won't happen), I may well have chosen a Mya-Moe..... ...... except for the headstock theme which seems common to them all:

In which case..........

My rate of gear acquisition is so slow that I don't need to stop. Like those elevators which don't stop, if you will.
