One of my favourite basslines ever! Probably one a lot of bass players learn to play eventually.

Day 135 – Summertime Blues
May 15, 2012 by Nic
My boss said: “no dice son, you gotta work late”.
That says it all. If you don’t get the summertime blues while you’re been told to work late with the sun in your eyes…
I love that period of music. Just everything about it. The suits, the mix between the old and the new, the technology from that moment,…

Recording with the sun in your eyes let’s you do these kind of riffs.
Have fun guessing.

Day 134 – Hold On
May 14, 2012 by Nic
Say “I” when you also thought the singer for the alabama shakes was a man when you heard it on the radio for the first time.
Apparently she’s not Jack White’s brother but his sister. They sound a bit White Stripes like but still have enough of their own to stand out. I hope they have more than “hold on” in their bag of tricks. We’ll see…

Another earworm.
One I didn’t like in the beginning but since it’s been played over and over I kind of learned to appreciate it.

Day 133 – The time is now
May 13, 2012 by Nic
Things to make an do was the breakthrough album for moloko.
Sing it back is probably best known but this “the time is now” has always been my personal favorite. Probably because the bass is so prominent in this song.
Very smooth sounding bassline which caries the song in a simple but effective way.

Day 132 – Default
May 12, 2012 by Nic
What art school students do when they aren’t painting?
Apparently making music. Django Django, in no way referencing to Belgian Jazz Gypsy Django Reinhardt, are a british band that’s set to make it. They are all over the alternative charts and have been on Jools Holland. I still have to see if they will make something beyond their hit single “default” that can meet the high expectations but I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt.
In the meanwhile we can listen to this nice happy sounding monsterhit.

This earworm has been floating around in my head for a few weeks so in order to get it out I needed to feed it with this riff.
Warning: Don’t get it stuck in your head either.

Day 131 – Jungle Boogie
May 11, 2012 by Nic
Kool & the gang know how to get the funk.
Since the Pulp fiction trailer this strange riff has always been in the back of my mind. It’s stuck there I guess. Strange rythm that makes the funk come out even more.
