This could well be one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

I agree. That is far superior to Sheryl Crow's opening title tune.

Properly upset by this. For me he was the definitive voice of modern fretless bass; his work with Brand X, Kate Bush, Judie Tzuke, John Martyn and so many others moulded my own approach to the fretless instrument in a big way. For many people, Jaco was the ultimate fretless master; for me, it was this guy. Check out the mid part of this song, beginning at 2:22, and you'll see what I mean. Those fills give me goosebumps. Rest in peace, maestro.

What's also worthy of note is that the majority of votes are going to the earlier films. With the exception of Duran2 and Cornell, everything post-Moore is getting a thumbs down.

Two big surprises for me so far: 1. So few votes for Chris Cornell. 2. So many votes for Carly Simon.

Eww. The Morse code is clever, but overall it's a big fat nope from me.

Similar story. I used to go club sailing with a mate on an old gravel pit near Reading. We used his old Mirror dinghy, it was a bit beaten up and on about its 38th coat of varnish, but we made a good crew and knew how to use the boat to its best (we were demons with the old spinnaker too), consequently we came 3rd overall one year and 2nd the next. There was another couple who had a brand new boat they'd spent a shedload on, plus matching range-topping Helly Hansen gear, all the best of everything. They came dead last by a mile in every single race. Every one. I'm not sure they even enjoyed it much.

An endless tape loop of a hyena farting through custard would have been better than Sam Smith's whiny, simpering pile of crap. Easily my least favourite JB song.

Gigging in crotchless knickers is a non-starter. Frequent adjustments to the undercarriage are necessary. Errm, so I'm told.

I've tried John Lewis boxers and while they are definitely superior to Asda George ones, I'm not sure they're worth the price difference. Hold on, you were talking about underpants, right?

You should've taken the BC marketplace approach. Can't sell that bass? Flog it as parts. Two kids, well that's 4 kidneys for starters...

It's still serving you well, I trust?

Following on from, errm, discussion elsewhere... which are your favourite bits of Bond music? Multiple choices.

Mack the Knife - Weill/Brecht

Which used to be my 6.0 IIRC

They did that with my band too. It turned out that the bass player was hiding in the dressing room crying.

I saw Vic Wooten at the Fleece, and ditto.

List slightly updated.

I'd definitely be interested to see how my Shuttle 9.2 does.

I saw a jazz combo down at the Old Duke in Bristol one night; the bassist had a nice old antigua Jazz and my first impression was that he could really play, but it became apparent that he just didn't know when to stop really playing. Or playing at all. He took a solo, which was very impressive, but he just kept doing it. He widdled away all over the sax solo, he even kept on in the drum solo by which time all I wanted was for him to STFU. After a couple of songs my opinion of him had totally changed, and I just wanted him to take his nice old Jazz and feck off home.

Any particular reason why they shouldn't?

Carpenter Séx Perience? Is that a deviant site for woodworkers or summat?
