I know it's mid-week but I feel so guilty I had to post something. Here's the deal: recently I've been to two amazing concerts (Sondre Lerche and Blues Traveler) and I was so excited to do a "I just went to this concert last weekend and you should all listen to and support their music" post for both of them. So I did my homework and listened to all their albums (7 for Sondre and 7 for Blues Traveler) but, due to other homework (see last week's post) I haven't really had time to pick favorites (there's a LOT) and compose my thoughts (submitting something here for the world to read
can be daunting) even though it probably isn't as big of a deal to y'all.
So, until I get a break in schoolwork, you get to deal with my therapist... loud rock that I have figured out the bass lines to. That's right, because I'm part of the awesomest family EVER, last night Christmas came early (not because you resemble Santa, Mark) and a bass guitar by the name of Dr. Funkenstein was bestowed upon me. I apologize if some of you aren't fans of this genre but just focus on the bass lines, I guess. They are cool... promise!
One last bit of house cleaning: Since the
Jesse Ruben post where I bragged about beating the system to get Switchfoot on grooveshark, the system has fought back and most of them are gone. I will not take this lying down though, my friends! I will continue to fight!... and most likely lose but that's not important! Also, the 3 songs that weren't up on the
'Merica post are now up and running so you can give those a listen to as well (which you really should because they're some of my favorites). And here we go!
Rock n' Roll- Led Zepplin. No fancy bass lines but it's driving. Plus, it
has been a long time...
Are You Gonna Be My Girl?- Jet. Again, nothin' fancy but fun.
The Distance- Cake (maybe not so much "loud" as it is fun to play)
Sabotage (edited)- Beastie Boys (which really oughta be the beastie
men since they're all in their mid 40's)
This week's
mystery song is also a bass therapy song that's neither loud nor rockin'. But I can totally play it and it's fun. What are
your favorite bass songs?
At any rate, I feel bad for the low quality posts as of late and all the excuses so here's a short one just to say sorry. The band is Intercept. I found them via Pandora and I already posted one of their other songs but I've heard a few more since and thought I'd share. They're not real big (their website is kinda weak--think late 90's-- and they're not even on Wikipedia) but they're good. So you can be proud of knowing an obscure, non indie band. Give yourself a pat on the back!
