Which tunes?

JMJ,

I'm looking to purchase some new tunes and was wondering which of the songs (not full albums), you've written and/or performed on (namely with Beck), that you're most proud of? Any recommendations?

Tks!

Hmm...any song off Sea Change, try Paper Tiger or End Of The Day. Sexx Laws off Vultures, I dunno...anyone else have any tips?

Sweet. I'll give those a listen. It's simply time for a new set of something in the ole' iDevice-of-the-month.

"Guess I'm Doing Fine" off Sea Change definitely. That whole album is ridiculous good; bass, lyrics, guitar tones, arrangements all insane. Also, pretty sure it's him on "Think I'm In Love" and "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime", a couple other Beck highlights for me. Is that right, J?

JMJ ......
Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometimes is one of my favorite Beck songs. The bass sounds so smooth.....
What bass are you using, and what strings?

Macy Gray!! :^D I don't know if all of the tunes were JMJ, but they're all delicious. Fat and funky. Tori Amos' Choirgirl was a good one too. Some of the tunes were JMJ and the rest was George Porter, Jr., right? Definitely two great records to grab for your collection.

Man, I just played Sexx Laws and the rest of Midnight Vultures on the way to work and I must have forgotten how perfect those songs are.

I really like "Hell Yes" of Guero and "Cellphone's Dead" off of The Information. I generally put them on playlists back to back because they really feel like part of one song to me.

Also, I freaking love some of the basslines off of the newest M83 record. Check out "Claudia Lewis" and "New Map".

That first Ima Robot record is always good for some bass. With Beck, I'd also throw in "Mixed Bizness" and "Elevator Music." Big fat riffs.
