Riddler Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi All Not sure if this is mentioned anywhere else on BC but did anyone hear Colin Murray's Mid Week Mobile Disco last Wednesday (4th March)? It's a feature where he plays an hour of tunes with a common link. This week it was featuring tunes with decent bass lines Sorry it's a bit late but you can hear it for another 12 hours or so at this link: [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006wkx3"]http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006wkx3[/url] If you don't get to listen, here is the track listing: 23.00 [b]Midweek Mobile Disco - Bass Lines[/b] George Baker Selection - 'Little Green Bag' (MCA) Andy C and Shimon - 'Body Rock' (Ram) The Strokes - 'Juicebox' (Rough Trade) Coal Chamber - 'Loco' (Roadrunner) Paul Simon - 'You Can Call Me Al' (Warner) Radiohead - 'The National Anthem' (Parlophone) Metallica - 'Anaesthetist (Pulling Teeth)' (Vertigo) Queen and David Bowie - 'Under Pressure' (EMI) Bomb The Bass - 'Bug Powder Dust' (Fourth and Broadway) The Pixies - 'Gigantic' (4AD) Red Hot Chili Peppers - 'Give It Away' (Warner) Dead Prez - 'Hip Hop' (Loud) Fleetwood Mac - 'The Chain' (Warner) Rage Against The Machine - 'Take The Power Back' (Epic) I'm sure we all have some comments to make I'll start the ball rolling by suggesting the list is nowhere near complete without these: Muse - Hysteria Yes - Roundabout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Nice to see Kim Deal get some love. Gigantic is a brilliant song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingson Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I guess they've got to pander a bit to their audience so suggestions like Teen Town would be out of the question. Actually off the top of my head, I can't really think of any! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Rhythm Stick or something by The Jam really should have been in there if they are going for identifyable bass parts but also well known overrall songs. Also should have had a Motown song (River Deep prob obvious choice) for some Jamerson thump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy_Marsh Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 loco hasnt got a stand out bass line! just lots of low notes runaway - jamiroquai! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raving_camel Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Dead Prez - 'Hip Hop'. Wow, I'm surprised they mentioned this. It's great to see good modern rap on the radio. I think this one song sums up my dream tone, sadly it sounds too perfect/pure to be a bass guitar (I'm guessing its a synth). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
