Notes

I got to checking out Rufus & Chaka Khan’s Street Player (1978), as well as Minnie Riperton’s Adventures In Paradise (1975) because of the recommendations in pdbass’s 10 Bassists That Went OFF During the Fade-Out. What great albums to add to my musical knowledge.

Bobby Watson played bass on Street Player and Ed Brown played on Adventures In Paradise.

Shoutout to the bass tones on When It Comes Down To It and Dreaming About You. It’s on the edge of something, and I love over-driven tones like this because the performer is consciously crossing a threshold, and they have decided that it is worth crossing.

The Smile have a new album out and Thin Thing is one of those songs that reveal Radiohead to still be an important guitar-based band. The whole album is pretty good, it’s like punk-Radiohead. About 50% manic, 50% languishing.
