The bassist in Shellac is also super good, but I think it’s more related to his tone than his rhythm. I’m on my phone about 10’feet away from my computer so I’m not gonna link YouTube’s right now

E: no it’s definitely his rhythm and also the tone.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

willie nelsons first gig at the grand ol opry was on bass guitar. the scheduled player was a no-show and someone asked willie if he played bass. his response: "doesn't everyone?"

I never really listened to much Shellac but I liked Big Black so I went to one of their shows once. It was p dope. Albini and the bassist guy were cool and hung around for a bit after the show and signed a bunch of poo poo. Dem boys is OK!

the good thing about this is, as a new guitarist picking up a used bass is a great way to get some experience gigging, because plenty of people want a bass in the band but lots of people have no interest in having a virtuosic tryhard noodling in every song
