Repeated expletive in the lyrics warning.

And I came to share the epicness of this climate change / cicada invasion graphic.

I have to share Harry Connick Jr's classic fixing a French audience's clapping with a 5/4 bar.

Polkadot Stingray has been posting videos of each band member playing their part on their latest song. Here's the one with the bassist (with drummer dancing in the background).

Focus on the bass (with extra-wicked bass tone at 3:00): And the regular video:

I've been through the ringer this week (took parent to ER who had surgery today), got home a couple hours ago, and saw this. Bummer. My main instrument in college and my gigging days was sax, and Rollins was one of my main influences. I especially listened to how he took a phrase and built on...

No mention of Conan that I heard, but as far as I know Letterman started that, so it was quite nostalgic for those old enough (like me) to remember those shows.

I took my parents to a doctor's appointment this morning and stopped at the local discount grocery store to pick them up a few things. The PA system was playing the standard cheesy country and old pop, but then, a song began playing that I like. One I own a copy of in physical media and is...

If the listing has the serial number, or one of the photos shows it (or when it's received), you can look up what it is here: Serial Number Lookup . I also suspect a Vintage Modified or Classic Vibe, maybe modified or with different parts.

I went through a period of having them fairly regularly. Although in my case I'd see a bright flash of light, followed by colors, then I'd lose sight in one eye for about 15 minutes. The first time it happened I was pretty freaked out, but then I got used to it. If I saw the flash when driving...

I'm having flashbacks to a 1990s Amazing Stories (I think) episode with an alien played by Weird Al shows up at a small beauty pageant and demands it include contestants from other planets.

Currently listening to They Might Be Giant's new album, The World Is to Dig (bought and downloaded from their site).

Perhaps the requester has heard of "double basses" and is tired of being a "single bass?"

“Everyone try laughing, then whatever scares you will go away” (My Neighbor Totoro). "[Ohio] Nazis. I hate [Ohio] Nazis." (Adapted from the Blues Brothers.) "The great lord of terror is approaching!" and "Sata Andagi!" (Azumanga Daioh series) "Well, that's just like your opinion, man." and "The...

Some classic Stevie. In non-music, "Sata Andagi" after seeing this scene in Azumanga Daioh.

Yes, I remember the original Japanese Godzilla being a metaphor for the atomic bomb, so it was interesting to see it come back to that, along with everything else. And I saw a few things I interpreted as more current metaphors, but getting into that may devolve. But I'm glad I watched it as...

I borrowed Godzilla Minus One from the library, and a moving Godzilla movie dealing with life in post-war Japan, the dawn of the nuclear age, and survivor guilt? I wasn't expecting that.

I'm not much for pop, but Polkadot Stingray is solid, and this song has a bit of jazzy groove.

I borrowed Your Name from the library yesterday, and it's astonishing. I've been watching more Japanese-language media lately as I'm learning the language and haven't seen much anime before. I saw this on lists but thought the body-swapping premise was quite overdone, but this became something...

Popped into my feed this morning.

It's a site for individual sellers to post ads on it, kind of like ebay, Etsy, and similar, so it's best to look at the individual seller, their feedback, if it's a store, if the listing looks right, etc. The site has been going through a lot of changes and such lately, but in general it's...

Recently bought a couple on iTunes (I don't know if they're available in the US in other ways). Luli Lee, Brave New World EP. Saikyoh Manboh Shura Boya, Reverse Anger Management. Band Maid, Scooooop EP

Larry Grenadier's The Gleaners is solo bass. As is Björn Meyer's Convergence In rock, bassist Kiyoshi has a few albums. There are also a few jazz duets albums with bass. Kenny Barron and Dave Holland's The Art of Conversation, Bill Frisell and Thomas Morgan's Valentine, and as mentioned...

Dig it! I've been looking at them as well as Fujigens and others. I've not played an MiJ/CiJ bass, but I have a Fender Japan 62RI Telecaster I bought from Ishibashi back when they would export new ones. It's one of the three electrics I kept during a pare-down a few years ago. The only issue...

Akane from Band Maid always looks (and sounds) like drums are her happy place.

I bought a DVD set of the anime Azumanga Daioh, as it was recommended for people learning Japanese. It's also quite funny and engaging and has unexpected moments. Earlier tonight, I saw the episode with this scene where a character asks about Americans wearing shoes inside homes.

A new extended version.

Thanks! And photos or not, if in/visiting Boston I can recommend the New England Aquarium Whale Watch. Also the only time I've been in a place with no land visible in any direction, nor humans other than those on our boat.

I have a Pentax K1000 with a 50mm lens. Used it a bit. I also have a Canon Rebel XS, my first SLR, and an Elan IIe. And a few EF lenses, 28mm, 50mm, 35-70mm, and 70-210mm. I haven't used them in a while. Last time I broke them out I remember one of them using a difficult to find battery. I...

For a newer book, I recently read Laila Lalami's The Dream Hotel. It's set in a near future where all someone's online/social media activity, travels and actions seen through cameras, and even dreams for those who have an implant to be able to function with less sleep, are used to create a risk...

A fall photo.

Congratulations! I don't think I have any Canadian-made musical instruments, but have played a couple Seagull and Larrivee acoustics I quite liked. But my home stereo is powered by a Canadian-made Bryston 2B-LP amp! And I have a pair of early, Canadian-made PSB Alpha speakers connected to my...

What a cool person and fantastic array of picks. Sounds like he listens to, explores, and finds inspiration in everything.

Get a strap with a unique design, change the pickguard and write a slogan on it (the pickguard). Preferably one that doesn't make much sense but may make people ponder. Like, off the top of my head, "This Machine Makes Baked Alaska" (or maybe "This Machine Bakes Alaska"), "Disarm the...
