Nail Soup

That is not how Krautrock works!

Fixed😉

Fair enough I suppose...... if you need a fretless for one song then lines is the way to go.

"On a fretless your finger only needs to be this far away from the correct position to be out of tune."

Back to the music: Here's a good 'un............. Can - Mother Sky

Watched my recording last night... enjoyable program, some of it was old news, but enough new stuff in there. Particularly like the contributions from 'members of the public'. However I think they could have cut the awkward meet-up scene between the 3 old schoolmates of the school where Bob played, and cut straight to the other scenes with them in! Was funny that one guy billed them as Bob Marley and the Whalers! Just shows how they weren't that well known in the UK early on!

Been enjoying this on 6 Music this week................Golden Rope · Tiña From the new album "Positive Mental Health Music".... topic is covered in Golden Rope.

I listened to Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra @Baloney Balderdash before bed last night... great stuff and certainly a good time of day to hear those two tracks. Will be checking out a few more of your suggestions by them.

So what does JTC stand for?

I was thinking about what example to post, then this one came up in one of my FB feeds.... so I'll go with Faust - It's a Rainy Day (Sunshine Girl):

Snappy summarry! However, I do think there is one common link which ties the music together. It is the making of a form of rock which a) draws on German heritage/ideas and b) does not copy the style of UK/US rock music. None of the bands bundled together under Krautrock sounded like UK/US rock. No-one applied the term to e.g. Scorpians, so the term was at least somewhat selectively applied.

What do you basschatters think of Krautrock? Any fans here? Can you give any good examples? And what do you think of the term 'Krautrock' itself?

To answer my own question......... A lot of electronic reggae sounds really good. Normally I can see/understand how different musical genres have progressed over time, but it's pretty hard to see how reggae morphed into dancehall.... reggae was based on some pretty nuanced musicianship, and dancehall was based on some pretty crude electronics, without subtle timings and dynamics. However, dancehall worked and created some good sounds. I just can't quite see it as part of the reggae story somehow!

Already loving the band name, song titles and the stills from the two videos! Will take a listen later, but expectations are high 😉!!

Good tune, but they look very bright eyed and bushy tailed considering they have a bad hangover! I'll have what they drink please!

Not an expert/fan of Metallica, but from what I can gather Jason's issues in Metallica had nothing to with any lack of ability as a player. Seems like like some kind of in-group bullying ☹️.

We don't use music to set up the PA, but we may play some music for the audience. We are covers band, so rule is not to play anything in our set, and preferable not the same bands even. And one lesson we learnt early on....... do not soundcheck (if the sound check is just before you start) with the same song you will start the set with 🙁....... the audience will get confused!

...........and then you open the set with "Merry Xmas Everybody" 😀

Cuts Across the Land, debut album by the Duke Spirit. I love the sounds the two guitars make in this band.... everything else is great too though!

So the pick wears down and the point goes round. Do you throw them out when they stop being pointy?

Rates very highly! I heard Kirsty’s version (ie the original ) of “They Don’t Know” the other day. I’d kind of forgotten all about it, but it sounded fantastic!

Just followed the "25 greatest basslines" link in another thread and saw these things....... never seen them before. Don't think I'll be taking them up...... but might be useful for some people

So it doesn't seem like people are choosing the music to match their band's own genre or sound......... is that right? Or are some of you doing it with music which roughly matches your sound?

Bob has made it into the Times quiz this week......... the questions are normally pretty hard but the ones on popular music are never very taxing😃!

I’ll be recording this !
