I've been looking in the black holes that are bandmix and joinmyband. Am I weird in being put off by bands who use the singers name? I kind of get it if the band are just expected to show up and play music written by someone else but some advertise that the band are involved in the writing and are equal partners. If everyone is equal, why is one person's name on the poster? Am I just being weird and unreasonable?

I think the pickups aren't too durable. Both died on mine and right before they died, they were really weak. Same problem with my daughters Peavey International which also needed one replaced and I think the other is dying now.

I didn't actually end up keeping mine very long. I sold it to fund some other gear and regretted it. It was a lovely bass and I think very under valued on the used market (great for lovers of bargain gear). I might look out for another.

Heavy psyche. The bassist, Al Cisneros has done some really good stuff with a few bands

This one confused me. I'm a fan of Om and didn't recognise Cerberus. It seems there's been more than one band called Om and the one I know of also has some brilliant bass playing.

Gratitude - Beastie Boys

Black Sunshine - White Zombie

It can't rain all the time - Jane Siberry

No sleep till brooklyn - Beastie Boys

Chinese Arithmetic - Faith No More

The album isn't on Spotify yet but the single is. Those drums at the start hit pretty hard and it doesn't let up. Really good single.

Thumb - Kyuss

Pusher man - Curtis Mayfield

White Lines - Grandmaster Flash Sorry for being obvious

Billy big b*****s - The Reytons

Balls on Parade - Rage Against The Machine

Thong song - Kyuss

Prayer of the refugee - Rise Against

American Jesus - Bad Religion

This morning I'm enjoying In Dub - Rewind Vol 1 by Killing Joke So far pretty good and better than their earlier dub record

Part of Southend beach faces south west.

We're going wrong - Cream

Amnesia (Pulling teeth) - Metallica

Essex has sunshine. It comes in a bottle or from a UV light tube.
