Songs Figured Out

Dec 20, 2008
Post a comment

After several years of barely touching my bass guitar at all, this year I started playing again and somehow I magically had the ability to figure out and play along with songs. Now I practice a couple of times a week by putting on iTunes Party Shuffle and playing along with whatever comes up. If something is especially fun (like OSCA by Tokyo Jihen), I'll devote a few sessions to getting it right. In other cases, I'll just write down whatever I can make out and then move on. In case anyone is searching for bass tabs of songs by Judy and Mary, Harada Ikuko, clammbon, YUKI, Shiina Ringo, or other such unlikely acts, I've started posting my notes online.

Heh

真心ブラザーズ

I started listening to Magokoro Brothers because of the excellent cover of their song "Summer Nude" on clammbon's LOVER ALBUM. I picked up their greatest hits album in Tokyo last week, and I've fully enjoyed listening through their history. There's one song on there, "Kimochi E-Family Affair", which has a female vocalist on it who I could swear sounds just like a young YUKI. I was just searching around to find out who this YUKIesque singer could be, and, whoa, not only is it YUKI herself, but she's married to the Magokoro Brothers guy! I independently came to love both acts without having any idea at all that they were married to each other.

This is the latest in a bunch of cool random associations between musicians I like. Geddy Lee of RUSH invited Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron to play on his solo album, while Pearl Jam lead guitarist Mike McCready has snuck part of RUSH's The Spirit of Radio into his solo when playing in Toronto. Mito from clammbon has produced and played bass for YUKI. The same keyboard guy has played on stage with clammbon and Shiina Ringo. Robert Fripp of King Crimson has played with Peter Gabriel and Tool. And so on, and so on.

QotD: This Week's Top 25

What are your top 25 most played songs?
Submitted by Cooxie.

Jeez... Because I tend to listen to albums more than single tracks, my two top albums (both by YUKI) pretty much devoured all 25 slots. Last.fm and iTunes have some disagreement about my top 25, probably because some tracks I listen to on the iPod never make it to last.fm's stats, so this is from iTunes.
