Leonard Smalls

My other band (though we have been in existence for 40 years!)

And with added whammy clavinet...

Su Casa Es Mi Casa - Infectious Grooves/Suicidal Tendencies

Turner Round - Devo

I'd class that as easy listening proggyjazzrock, with a relatively straightahead rock groove! Here's a bass player who's just as good as La Dey but doesn't do dodgy ads for toxic slushies, and goes off-piste a bit more! One of my fave albums, btw... And in slightly less easy-listening news here's another bass player who despite often venturing quite well off-piste still manages to groove. And no influencer nonsense, though he had the "pleasure" of producing (arguably) John Lydon's best work... Waddya reckon, Sapko? 😁

And Greg Howe! And Guthrie Govan...

New covers ep/album by early Weeds guitarist https://chrishaskett.bandcamp.com/track/pick-up-the-pieces

great looking place!

Ladygarden Funeral of Sores - Bauhaus

There's a proper groove going on here... With no excess widdleywoo (well, just a touch but if you've got it etc!) And remarkably restrained here - love Greg Howe's guitar playing!

I can't find this one on Spotify Shame! Tis excellent (as is the album)... Though I think some sort of rights issue took it of Spotty.

Backdoor Santa - Clarence Carter Silent Night - Bootsy Collins Christmas with the Devil - Spinal Tap

Of course!

Mañana (Is Soon Enough For Me) - Peggy Lee

I doubt that very much!

Perhaps for the bass playing... But not for pushing duff products in that annoying influencer way. As for her boyfriend, he can most definitely do as Danny said!

I quite like him, with his funny northern ways...

Lawks! As I was a skint yoof I used to sew zips into my tesco jeans that I'd dyed black and purple and made into drainpipes. My needlework wasn't very good, but it was meant to be DIY punk! I even made my own bumflap out of a particularly vile green acrylic tartan material then scrawled "Slits" on it in fluorescent orange paint. By contrast, mine and Swamp's mate (the only other school punk) had a rich dad who bought him a pair of real bondage trousers from XClothes, and real leather jacket with Ruts painted on it... We always sent him to the bar.

I remember when I was a young punker in school (there were 3 of us!) all the other lads (cos girls weren't into music, obvs! 😁) had pristine denim jackets their mums had sewed assorted heavy rock band patches onto... And they'd confidently assert that Cozy Powell was the best drummer in the world, bar none. Needless to say, they'd never heard of Billy Cobham...

Some very exiting bass playing featuring Brett Bass, who I knew nowt about, and the incomparable Wizard of Woo, Bernie Worrell.

I bought an allegedly 160kg capacity folding sackbarrow... Not sure what it will actually carry, but I can now bring Markbass 4x10, 4u flightcase with amps, psu and compressor plus flightcased Helix all at once (though you need to bungy 'em!)...
