Let's spread some musical misinformation

Due to the now unhealthy lifestyles cowboys lead, it is being re-released as "The Gallstone Cowboy".

The band tried to get the song played with Aretha Franklin as the featured vocalist as "The Kidney Stone Cowboy", but the offer for payment to sing meant Aretha let it pass.

4 out of 5 doctors recommend not wearing metal jewelry around instruments with magnetic fields such as pickups. Repeatedly moving the hand in and out of a magnetic field can ionize the fingers around the metal jewelry and ultimately cause your finger to die and fall off.

My bandmates warned me of this and said that to prevent this we should unionize ourselves.

I think you mean onionise. It's common knowledge that rubbing onions on arms and hands to prevent this problem.

For Booker T and the MGs covers, you should use onions on your strings too.

"When you come to San Francisco, be sure to wear an onion on your belt" they used to say.

Are you sure they said 'bass' and not 'the fool'?

Because the 5th Doctor listens to rap, he wouldnt have a clue. But he might tell you that by wearing a clock for a necklace is a bad idea if you are sporting a pacemaker.

A theoretic risk. The bigger issue is that metal jewellery causes hum.

Then one must get a doctors prescription for a hum cancelling pedal.

Why don't you just teach the jewelry the lyrics? That way they don't have to just hum along.

All you would have to do is bring your gear to the gig, set it up and sit at the side of the stage and take it all in like a spectator while the work is being done without you. Hell you could spend the evening scoping out chicks and later bring them back stage to meet the instruments.

I've never played a wrong note on stage. I think I'll do it Tuesday night at our Fat Tuesday gig to see what it's like. I find it convenient that the gig is on a Tuesday. It saves a lot of confusion.

I was curious what happened to the bass guy from Pentatonix, Avriel. Looks like he leads his own acapella group, Sequoias.

 

[Common Tater]

Here's the acapella group Pentatonix shortly after Avriel split off to start his own group.

That guy on the right squatting in the grass to take a poop. He really ought to do that off camera, don't you think?

I don't think he's pooping. Did you see how he's moving his right hand?

My buddy here tells me that's not acapella, you can see the capos on both the banjo and guitar.

CommonTater, is that you? That's not a bass, you know. That's just a big viola.

If a capo makes things go up in pitch, if I put four hipshots on a bass, is that an acapella?

If barber shop quartets were there to amuse people waiting for a haircut, why isn't there a post office quintet, or a grocery store trio tradition? Or an entire orchestra outside major tourist attractions?

In the UK there isn't a barber shop quartet tradition, although there are barber shops. But the UK has tea to help you wait, so is the Boston Tea Party the cause of barber shop quartets? And isn't rock and roll just a reaction against barber shop quartets? If it wasn't for tax on tea there would be no TalkBass!

I know that's not a bass. Their bass guy, Avriel, left Pentatonix before this video was made. I guess he was tired of not being allowed a capo.
