Nail Soup

Forgot all about this till today (thanks 6music)......... it's poppy, rappy and fun.... but reggae enough for here I think. The Wee Papa Girl Rappers - Wee Rule

Good news that there's not clapping on the 1 and 3!

Thanks, I knew it was coming but might have missed it. The recorder is set, just need to find a good time to watch it.

I think that 80’s production did not do Whitney any favours either .

While one of these will show how soul singing should not be done, hopefully the other will show how it should be done.

Ha Ha loved it, thanks for sharing!

Yes, you wouldn't waste much time fumbling for that!

I guess at the time it was written 64 was a much 'older' age than it is now?

I guess it was this one:? Here's a link if anyone is interested. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000qq4h/christmas-morning-christmas-morning-from-the-church-of-god-of-prophecy-birmingham I'm also not religious, but it's hard not to enjoy the general vibe of this!

Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band - Shiny Beat ~(Bat Chain Puller) Here's my fave track - Tropical Hot Dog Night

It's almost as if the general public don't care about that kind of thing........

For anyone else who is not understanding the debate about bridges here is a pic of the the bass so we can admire the aesthetic qualities. Nice looking bass.

Or pushed

Just need the bass solo which never starts.......

I don't like the look of a clip on tuner during a performance. Ok if the gubbins are hidden.

Bit like a Masons secret handshake...........

Eventually, yes. But has to be learned via a method. I start by learning from a full lyric sheet. then I write it out with a few key words per line - like this pic. After that I go to one word per line. And then eventually nothing (in most cases) - might have the odd word on the set list.

Had a browse in the hard drive for stuff I don't listen to much. Found the Noisettes debut album "Whats the time Mr Wolf"....not my normal thing, but something must have made me buy it.....enjoyed it much more than I expected..... good band.

It makes being in a band look like........er , I dunno....... fun!?

I don't really need one.... I play either originals or covers which were on four string. Do I want one? Not really..... I have a mental list of the gear I'd like and a 5 string isn't on it. If circumstances change, then maybe...... but it's unlikely given my playing ability that I'm going to join a theatre pit orchestra any time soon!

Depends how old you define ‘kid’ in my case. pre-teen I wanted to be a scientist or something. Teens I wanted to be a rock star. Now I work in IT which is like a cross between the two ..... right?

Well, finally pulled the trigger. Pretty good so far... the sounds are good enough for what I need in the band, and the MIDI is good enough for what I need at home. I don't need my 61 key midi controller now, which was a pain to store and use. Happy with it in test mode..... now to use it for real. I'll do a home recording with it...... but don't know when I'll get to try it with the band.

Not seen any research, but my gut feel is 'no' , given the amount of other systems in various cultures around the world and over time. I guess if any number of beats had a biological basis it would be two.... e.g the alternating footsteps of two feet. And four is two times two...........

A bass player who was told to play roots?

I Gemini, first album from Let's Eat Grandma. The band are two best friends from Norfolk, and were about 16 when they made this. Here's "Deep Six Textbook".
