CamdenRob Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 These guys have been looking for a bass player for ages... they have posters up in all the rehearsal studios around here. They seem pretty proactive in trying to get a band together... just haven't found the right beast yet it would seem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Ah yes... beast-selection is totally crucial these days. If I'd selected better beasts years ago, I'd be living in Monaco now instead of Lewisham.

CamdenRob Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) I must admit I'm out of touch with the terms people use for describing stuff these days... I had the following conversation with a drummer the other day who is both younger and much trendier than I am.... Drummer "that bass line is sick" Me " oh sorry.. I thought it fitted quite well" Drummer "Naah man it's sick" Me "Well give it a chance to grow on you, I really think it'll work" Drummer " naah it's sick as in bad ass..." Me "bad ass....? So my bassline is like an ass related ailment?" Drummer "man your out of touch" Edited May 16, 2014 by CamdenRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it fitted quite well" [size=4][/quote][/size] I got confused by 'wicked', and that was about a hundred years ago. Young master discreet (11) uses the word 'SPECIAL' to mean the exact opposite. He also tells me to 'GO HOME' on a regular basis - even when I quite obviously [i]am [/i]home. I get 'FAIL' quite a lot too, and 'OH DEAR' - not entirely sure what this means - I know it doesn't mean 'oh dear', though. Probably worth starting a separate thread about kid slang, but I fear exposing myself as an 'OLDMAN'.

CamdenRob Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Yeah I am just about cool enough to know 'wicked' as an adjective meaning good... although I'd feel a bit silly using it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
