I understand that tastes differ wildly but I'm talking about accessibility rather than taste. If it 'goes over the head of people who have a general enjoyment of music - meaning that they do not understand it, not that they don't like it - and the technical aspects are all that recommend it then, IMO (and other opinions are obviously available), it is failing in some kind of fundamental way. It doesn't disqualify it as a form of expression but I don't think it fits in my understanding of 'good music'. Just as on the other side if soemthing is entirely vacuus but lots of people like iit (Rock DJ being a prime example of this) I also don't think it qualifies as 'good music'.

If the music only works as musicianship and isn't something a non-musician can appreciate then is it good music, or just good technique? The best stuff works on both levels, with the musicianship adding a dimension but not getting in the way.

Well after dropping 600 quid on the skirt I'd asume you'll be going shoeless, pantless and everythign else-less!

Lovely - I toss them up, you hit them out of the park! 😆 I'm overdue a watch of Tap, actually. I recently rewatched Fear of a Black Hat (the Hip Hop version of Tap - equally funny) so it's definitely time to smell the glove again.

Wear the trousers and then you will at least have somewhere to keep a cucumber/ mini baguette in case you get peckish 😵‍💫

I bought my first bass amp with cash made by stuffing stamped addressed envelopes (kids, ask your parents) with *** slimming section's diets, so I won't have a word said against that very fine publication. On topic, I have a number in my head where it becomes not worth selling and I would rather keep it, but generally I want it gone and am prepared to take quite a big hit on most stuff. There's only Fartbook here in Mexico, really, and I have been dealing with so many tyre kickers with bass stuff and bike stuff I have been trying to move on before we up sticks again. I price stuff below market rate and clearly list prices etc. and all you get is people asking the price and if you will drop it to them half way across the city for free or take staggered payments. It's soul destroying but if that happens at a fair price I can sort of understand why people try to put a slice on top to cover the aggro.

Yeah, I quite like them. Not into relics in general but these are quite cool in their way. I expect the novelty would wear off pretty quickly.

Just because most people have small hands or more advanced fine motor skills there's no need to discriminate 🤣

It's a thing. I did it. I have big hands and don't get on with the tight string bunching at the nut of a J neck, but I do like the J sound. It's great. When my fretless P neck gets here it will become a fretless P neck on a J body. I also, unlike the advertiser, have a bag or suitcase to hand in. It's a gator hardcase.

Luckily I have 2 coats 🫣

I'm pretty sure they are all way better than Mr C. He didn't even programme the drums for The Prodigy. I'll get my coat

Mexico City to York. For a Vigier (and a funeral, but that would spoil the story)
