Yeah, this one can clog up your mind, and drive you nuts if you try to play it.

That is a tough pace of 1/16th notes to maintain for 4 minutes. Even Muse's bassist sometimes skips the bounces and just plays the string shifts in short periods during live performances, probably just to rest a bit. He looks pained when they have to play it, like Fripp sometimes did when KC played "Fractured" live. Oh, those finger twisters!

On the other hand "Ellen Plays Bass" can do a decent job of it with her (then) 11 year old fingers, which (sometimes) makes me want to throw my basses on the fire.

So I won't hit the play button on that video, forgive me for that!

For years, I've been haunted by He Needs Me, written by Harry Nilsson and sung by Shelley Duval in the Popeye movie. I find myself whistling this simple tune under my breath all the time, inventing all sorts of chromatic variations. And after I consciously stop it, it starts up again. Getting a little worried.

I was joking with my wife about 4 days ago and I said to her...........(joking)...........I want a new drug. Referring to the Huey Lewis and the News song.

So, I played the song. Not only did I play the song but I pulled out my bass and played along with the song. I kind of had to re-learn a few spots to the bass line.

I had to look the song up on Google and it dates back to 1984!!!!!!! WOW! 42 years ago! Where does time go?

The song has been stuck in my head now for the past 4 days. ha ha ha Great song! Excellent video too.

I'm about to make it worse.

The theme for Ghostbusters is a blatant ripoff of "I Want a New Drug."

Love Fuel. Jesus Or a Gun is awesome.

I went on a dive into mashups for a while today. These three I had to listen to more than once, and now the KC Sunshiine one is playing nonstop in a loop somewhere in my gray matter.

Recently went down the YT rabbit hole of all the JD ‘lyric’ videos, and this, as always, stands out, and thus got stuck. An iconic bassline, just two parts, but compelling and relentless.
Vocalist Ian Curtis, who suffered from epilepsy himself, observed a friend having a seizure(she later died), and conveys her terror and despair, albeit in an almost detached way. Which makes it more chilling…


I was in a band once that had quite a bit of keyboard-dependent material; the DX7 went down during a gig, so the player’s brother was bringing his to the rescue…while we stalled for time we started jamming on this for about 10 minutes, whew, what a workout. Packed the dancefloor, though.

If this got stuck in my head I'd have to get wasted. Good story, though.

Michael Bolton - Said I Loved You... But I Lied has been infesting my brain cell for a coupla days. Time to fumigate.
