  1. They're Coming to Take Me Away - Napoleon XIV
  2. There have always been s*** songs with s*** lyrics. This particular one - or something similar - gets wheeled out time and time again as an example of how bad/sordid/offensive (delete as applicable) modern music is, or strangely, in defense of older songs that were once totally acceptable but now seem a bit iffy. Regardless of your opinions of Brown Sugar, quoting a random contemporary lyric doesn't really justify or apologise for it. In years to come, will society look back at Nicki Minaj's lyrics and collectively shake it's head in a "what were we thinking?!" haze? Possibly. Maybe it'll just be seen as the meaningless rhythmic word salad that it is. There's nothing behind it. Brown Sugar is powerful, however you view it.
  3. You're So Vain - Carly Simon
  4. Student Demonstration Time - Beach Boys
  5. The Intense Humming Of Evil - Manic Street Preachers
  6. It even looks like the pickups are in the right place! But please, give us more colours than silverburst.
  7. The Everlasting - Manic Street Preachers
  8. Memory of a Free Festival - Bowie
  9. Elephant Man - Mastodon
  10. Holst The Line - Toto
  11. Hail and Farewell to Britten - Type O Negative
  12. That rings a bell...
  13. They're only playing a 30 minute sample of the album so even if there are leaks, it won't be the whole thing.
  14. Youth of the Nation - P.O.D.
  15. Yes - Manic Street Preachers
  16. Sharpshooter - Motorhead
  17. The Itch Is Back - Reg
  18. My three did 😁 Stunning basses, these. Spector's best-kept secret.
  19. Cape Fear - Bernard Herrmann
  20. Better than any other string I've ever played. I use Hi Beams which are very bright and I get several months out of a set before needing to change them. The do lose that fresh out of the packet zing like all strings, but they remain bright and aggressive.
  21. Totally worth it, DR are incredibly high quality and last a very long time.
  22. I used to use a 110 for drop C, but I liked the resulting grunt and rattle. I know @Wolverinebass uses DR DDTs for lower tunings, they're excellent.
  23. Victory Egg - Cardiacs
  24. Beautiful! I've always loved these - the teal green/mirror scratchplate version has been a favourite since I was a kid - but I've never had the chance to play one sadly.
