    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'

    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?
  7. Nail Soup
    Agree... but it's better than saying 'these bad boys'

    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

    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
  14. 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.
  15. Nail Soup
    HMHB also had album called Back in the DHSS.
  16. 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
  17. 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.

    For me, missing a gig is only ok occasionally. I’d expect that a band I was in would do min 90% of gigs with the full main line up. I guess the 10% would be shared out between the members.
  19. Nail Soup
    If he doesn't have a gig bag, that could be a good option. Gig bag or a Zoom-style multi effect would be my top two, with cleaning kit quite a long way behind.

    Or , further, choose the pickups attached to the bass we like the sound of. Without even knowing how much the pickups contributed to that sound.
  21. Nail Soup
    Reminds me of this from David Mitchell
  22. Nail Soup
    Let's hope that the radio stations can choose something better - HHSL is totally unrepresentative of his work.
  23. Nail Soup
    Correct! Maybe the original clue alluded more to the Experience.
  24. Nail Soup
    I can only half-remember one clue... goes something like this: Funnily enough he never played there, just the Isle Of Wight (NB - that was the clue that made me get it)
  25. Nail Soup
    Don't leave that hanging!
