What are you listening to now? V5 (Part 1)

Ugh! This hits all the right notes and really scratches the itch.
This song was used in the Metrotropic Beach Zone of a sweet Sonic Mania mod. Impeccable use of the Megadrive soundfont!

Love this! Classic hard rock and metal and thoughtful lyrical content. Thanks for sharing. Haven’t heard of 'em before.

I’m a sucker for a good fretless bass, maybe with some thickening-up chorus effect, too! And man, that Mad Season cut sounds so good - vibes and grunge pair so well.

Something Proggy:

Something funky:

And then let’s combine them, add some high-fidelity engineering, and a fresh take on it all:

And this is just rocking! Don’t Fear the Sweeper Sweep-picking and Shreddin’:

Had a fun thought:

If a raid was of a musical persuasion: the drummer and the bassists are the tanks, keeping the rhythm in place, the keyboardists are the healers - ton of versatility and ability to blend into the ‘mix,’ and the rest of the percussion and rhythm section are the dps!

Lead and solos are just the dps popping cd’s and lusting…

You should definitely check out leitnerjoe channel on youtube if you like fretless bass. Some of his stuff is kinda out there but he can really come up with some good, unique stuff.

Bonus old school bass groove

I can’t ever mistake that iconic, emotive contralto voice of Karen Carpenter. And she and Richard own this Beatle’s song - minor keys, and thicc af harmonies. And that human could drum - not showcased on this number, though.

“Did you know, that she never really wanted to be the main singer? Her love was drums, but since those around her didn’t feel the world was ready for a female drummer, they told her to focus more on her singing. Can you imagine how much better she may have gotten, if they had just let her follow her dream?”

Exactly! She referred to herself as a drummer that sings. She was amazing on drums. Such a shame.
