    Anything that anyone can access like you YouTube or SoundCloud?
  2. Nail Soup
    Absolutely. I think that in the past there may have been a transitionary period when it was understandable to highlight the skills of female musicians, but I like to think we are beyond that now and don't need to highlight any more. However, based on vids that get shared on social media it seems like a lot of people are not so much shocked, but impressed by a woman doing rock instrumentation well.

    I was going to suggest 2I want you back" by the Jackson 5, but I think it lasts 8 bars. If you care to step outside of disco, please try Peaches by The Stranglers (there's two parts)

    Good luck with the project. I suspect I'm not the only one here with no access to Instagram... any chance of sharing a different way?

    The OPs guitarist didn’t retune his instrument when he was with the band. He just detuned at home while learning the tune. Then back to std at band rehearsal. Thats how I read it anyway.

    Someone has made an 8 bit bass. That’s all. https://www.guitarworld.com/news/8-bit-bass

    For future ref, he could also have raised the recording to E using software like Audacity and learned it like that.
  8. Nail Soup
    He has altered the key to E. And his approach makes perfect sense.

    I'm planning to inflict a version of this on my local folk/acoustic session at the weekend. To make things worse, I'm considering doing it on banjo 😐. Diggin' My Potatoes by Lonnie Donegan.

    Heard this on the #Iggy Pop show last week. I think they capture the punk sprit pretty well... The Lambrini Girls - 'Help Me I'm Gay'
  11. Nail Soup
    I though they are really good at what the do... and she is great drummer and singer. But not shocking as such.

    Music is absolutely, definitely, categorically not a competition. Anyone who thinks so is not a real musician. Anyway, can't chat here all day, need to work on my entry for this months Basschat composition competition.

    In my bands it’s who plays the last note is the best.

    I'm midway through Billy Bragg's book on skiffle music. Skiffle is associated with washtub bass (although a lot of acts in the book used double bass too)... Anyone here had experience of washtub bass? Tell us about it... and also about he technique. For example are you playing actual pitched notes?
  15. Nail Soup
    Agree... but it's better than saying 'these bad boys'
  16. Nail Soup
    Might explain what the controls do, but doesn't explain why you would or wouldn't switch it off if you could.

    And here's the source material of one of Fatboy's biggest tracks: Camille Yarbrough - Take Yo' Praise
  18. Nail Soup
    Fatboy Slim was on the BBC Radio 2 Blues show a week or two ago. He's a big blues fan and like s to listen to stuff far away from the music he makes... so very rough and low-tech blues. We don't get may mash-ups in the Blues thread, but Norman (AKA Fatboy) played this that he made using the instrumental track from the Stones "Wild Horses" and the Van Morrison "Brown Eyed Girl". Works pretty well IMO.

    There's four part doc on hip-hop on BBC Four (and Iplayer too of course) https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0dj6ysm

    UFO had an LP called 'Force It', which had a visual pun in the sleeve art - lots of bathroom taps (american 'faucet' sounds like 'force it'). Sleeve art also included some nudity, so I wont include an image here.

    The Jags - No Tie Like A Present
  22. Nail Soup
    Band name rather than album name. Robert Wyatt’s post Soft Machine outfit was called Matching Mole - which sounds like ‘machine moule’, French for Soft Machine.
  23. Nail Soup
    HMHB also had album called Back in the DHSS.
  24. Nail Soup
    Blurb: "Daddy's Taking Us To The Zoo Tomorrow" - the antidote. Techie stuff: DAW - Studio One Drums - MT Powerdrums Guitars - Squier tele, Vox Standard 25 Bass - Vantage Avenger Vox: Shure SM58
  25. Nail Soup
    The 2003 debut album by The Fiery Furnaces "Gallowsbird's Bark. Any fans here of FF or the Friedburger's solo work? Here's a couple of tracks: Asthma Attack, Don't Dance Her Down.
