yeah, enough metal for today, sorry if I shared too much, let stick to heavy rock ! ā¦ in fact itās pretty easy to listen, nothing too heavy here.
Electric Six is a strange band, very sarcastic but the songs are great and the bass lines have something I love : they really serve the songs. What I want to say is that, sometime the lines can be very simple, sometimes much more complicated, but every time they are right to the music. It just sounds right. That said I donāt like the bass tone very much, it sounds a bit too focused to me (maybe a bit cartoonish, very ājazz-bass likeā, not to say a jazz bass tone is bad but ā¦ well I prefer a wider low-mid spectrum). Anyway I love this band.
If youāre into guitar, listen to the reverse chords, they sound great and very appropriate. I love reverse chords, as drop tuning itās a lifestyle
I love it! Until the vocals start, havenāt been able to deal with that sound to date. I struggle through Meshuggah because the math nerd in me loves it though.
Hereās what Iām spinning today!
Thereās so much good music in this thread I need to catch up on!
Gail Ann Dorsey playing Under Pressure with Bowie. She plays a 5-string so I automatically love her. Sheās plays awesome bass and has a sweet singing voice.
āFridayā means āthe whole weekendā, right?
Itās early(ish) Sunday morning as I share this, and after a sleepless night because of my poorly old Labrador, Ben, I woke from a 1 hour nap with this band in my head. Laid back covers of some 80s classics. They were stripping back tunes before most of the recent glut of artists.
Bill Bailey has been a great comedian for decades but his musical skills only played a bit role until a few years ago, and then it became the core of his show. Why not enjoy a bit of music-based comedy that also demonstrates various music theory elements (sort of).
