I'd wager that some institution somewhere is looking for that fella.

Voice is not bad. Song is not bad.

6/10 - Would smoke with.

She plays pretty well, I should think she could make enough to buy some pants.
Just kidding, she probably paid three times as much as she would have for an unripped pair.

Nice, old-school groove here.



Want to know who the musicians are? Apparently, who ƒucking cares??
Look at these credits from one of his albums, from Wikipedia. Like, who plays the DRUMS? you know? the GUITAR? etc.?

hmmm... maybe just assembled samples? I watched Yesterday last night, their view of the LA music scene lines up with these credits. Whatever happened to our insider?

"Hounds of Love" -- Kate Bush's idea of being foxhunted by love, being frightened, a coward, but in the end giving in to it, is magical.

In the middle of being frightened of love, she finds a fox being hunted, embraces it, feels its fear; and realizes she has the same fright, but it's of "nothing real" and she feels embarrassed by being a coward about love.

Her chords go major, the chirping violins change, and she loudly and confidently announces "So here I go/Don't let me go/Hold me down/It's coming for me through the trees". At that point, she and her lover are actually facing the cowardice of love together. "Take my shoes off and throw them in the lake", she sings -- to avoid giving her scent to the hounds -- but by the end, it switches to "take YOUR shoes off."



But today, 35 years since the original, I feel like the song is overproduced. Here's a version by Lancaster, PA's own Beth Sorrentino which emphasizes the lyrics and chord changes.

Yeah but he's almost as old as I am, one of the expendables for the economy.

Have you heard their latest?
No, but someone told me it is good, how's the bass line go?
Bass line? The guitar plays the music, the bass just goes boom boom boom like the drums.
Iszatso?

Jamerson played that, and all the Motown hits, with one finger.

Hot damn! That video is incredible.
I like it when he plays a really low note to describe how low of a valley wouldn't be enough.

I've watched it at least 20 times, mesmerizing, seeing where he's going to go and hearing him do it adds a whole new dimension. It shows the subtleties your ear may not pick up, especially with everyone playing at volume.
