Not exactly music or bass, but worth it:

Linkin Park’s new vocalist Emily Armstrong was previously in Dead Sara, so I have newly discovered this band. You can see how she got the job in LP!

Not sure if this is obvious from his interview (cannot watch it now) but Kiyoshi is his bass player.

She definitely used to be and I assume she still is (it’s not like he will find a better one, lol).
He’s helped her a lot with promotion too.

I’m more or less the same. Everything about their music screams that I should love it but I don’t. There are some songs of his that I do love like Love Letter, but I can’t put on a album and let it play through.

He’s one of those artists that everyone cites as an influence but I know few who actually listen to his music a lot.
Same goes for Big Star. Everyone loves to cite them, few seem to listen regularly.

Ah, see… Big Star pops into my playlists every week to few weeks at worst. They wrote some great songs.
They did! I am not commenting on them, Chilton was a genius.
I’m talking more about this phenomenon of artists like them, or Nick Cave, or Nico, that people love to cite but fewer really enjoy day to day.
Audiophiles please help!
This a personal favorite of mine BUT I am not asking anyone to listen to the whole song. I would like some audiophiles to listen to the first 24 seconds of the song or just the sound at 23 seconds in (thank you @eric.kiser I never would have thought about identifying the location in terms of seconds).
If anyone can identify what is making the sound at 23 seconds I would appreciate it. I feel like I have it elsewhere but do not know where. The song was released in 1972 so it may have to do with the audio equipment used back then.
Thank you in advance,
UncleToad

Sorry couldn’t resist. Can we use this in the newer thread about the role of a bass?

Sounds like something on a guitar or upper register harmonics from the bass.

Just a guess. Is it a dobro?

Hahahaha… good one!
“not exactly music” - as in… not a song / composition… sorry… my brain sometimes doesn’t make sense!

Playing right above the nut with a pick … or… Between Bridge PUP and Bridge?
Other than that, I’d risk a synth…

I might be right.
" The album marks a continued evolution in Lightfoot’s sound as he begins to add countryinfluences to his standard folk sound with the help of the banjo, dobro and steel guitar. Lightfoot would continue to use these country influences in his music until the early 1980s."

Good call (dobro), that was my first thought… also hints of banjo as the song continues.
I have come to appreciate more of GL’s music after his passing.

)
