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

honestly the way most songs have been mixed from the 80s to 2010-ish for fm radio airplay means you cant hear the bass for poo poo, which contributes to that perception that they're disposable. you see a band live and it's like "oh thats what a bass sounds like" even if its just a bog standard driving bassline

HERE ARE THE FUCKING TOWELS


Carol Kaye, the best bassist nobody ever heard of.*.

Her musical love is jazz, but as a single mom also having to support her aged mother, she just went to work every day, playing on thousands of pop songs in the 1960’s and early ‘70’s, and taking no poo poo from the male-dominated world of studio musicians. When work started to get spotty, she came out with a line of books teaching the bass.

You go Carol!

*well, you guys probably have, but the average person would just look confused if you mentioned her name.

Dude recorded this while extremely drunk and laying on his back in the studio because he couldn't stand. Marvin Gaye wanted to start recording this track and he only wanted Jamerson to play bass on it, but he wasn't in the studio. They scoured all the bars of Detroit, found Jamerson, brought him back to the studio, and the rest is history.

Vulfpeck have a loving incredible bass player and I have been watching them on youtube and loudly yelling 'GAT DAYUM!' when they do like a little break and he does a mad flurry of groovy notes and it all comes back in tighter than a nuns vagina.

seriously people bass players are the glue of a band. if the bass player is boring, they're probably a guitarist taking a bass spot to make ends meet.

Joe Dart is really kickass, and also they have that goofy little rhythm guitar man who's hand just flickers and flaps like crazy and they work really well together. Dart is super melodic and the guitarist is just a rhythm machine.

The guitarist is Cory Wong and he has a few solo songs on Spotify, they're quite good. He has this song light as anything, where he does this really neat dampened rhythm that sounds like nothing I ever heard. All of the people from vulfpeck are really good quite frankly.

Fun fact : they're that band that financed a tour costing around 80.000 by putting an hour of silence on Spotify and telling people to play that on repeat while sleeping. People did and it's how the band got started basically.
