Definitely one for that Flintstones tribute act I've been meaning to start.

I can honestly say that no one has ever asked me.

Well done you. I'll certainly get myself a copy of this.

[quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1469963484' post='3102282'] Going to have a nap on couch now but put me down for the Swarfega thing. [/quote] No offence intended, but I'm not sure if discreet (or any one else here) wants to watch you wrestle in Swarfega.

[quote name='KingBollock' timestamp='1469894888' post='3101866'] Yes! In the past, when I have searched, that is the only thing that ever came up, but I only had that one scene to go on and could never find any images or clips of it, and I don't remember any of the stuff from Sybil that I could find. However, I have just found the exact scene on YouTube. So, thank you, I can now tick that one off! [/quote] Glad I could help, but more than anything I'm just delighted to see this thread back in action.

[quote name='KingBollock' timestamp='1469845736' post='3101504'] The other was very disturbing. It's supposed to be a true story. There was a girl whose mum would keep chained to a piano for hours and hours, and when she inevitably wet herself, the mum would take a hot poker to her insides. It was nasty. I don't want to see it again, but I would be intrigued to know more. [/quote] The film is called `Sybil` or `Cybil`? Sally Field plays the leading role. In it, her "safe-place" where she can open up to her therapist about her terrifying childhood is a large, overstuffed armchair she refers to as "the big chair". I remember reading somewhere that the Tears for Fears' album and track, "Songs from the Big Chair", are a side reference to this.

I seem to remember reading the term 'gank bass' on the liner notes of their album all those years ago. A good word to describe that sound, I think.

Is gruting even legal?

Nice.

Definitely one for that Flintstones tribute act I've been meaning to form.

I find that simpler driving grooves with space between the notes work better. Outdoors it's not always easy to control the sound and what the audience are hearing (e.g. if the sound us echoey or mushy), so the more complicated the rhythms are, the less likely they are to 'reach' the audience.

If you allow 4 notes. The same 4 (depending on how divide the measure) can be The Addams Family Theme or Great Balls of Fire.

OK. the pick is obvious, but oh so funky... http://youtu.be/Ll3uipTO-4A

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1465851916' post='3071644'] Sanborn and Hiram Bullock...Just great. [/quote] Omar Hakim lending a hand too, there.

Perfect for those rained-out summer open-air gigs.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1465839796' post='3071485'] A true pioneer, and funny as he'll. Blue [/quote] Absolutely on both counts. I didn't know just how funny he was till I saw a clip from the talk-radio show he used to do. it was from the excellent documentary "Only the Strong Survive", which unfortunately went a little under the radar as it was released in the same year as that other great soul documentary, "Standing in the Shadows of Motown".
