Charlie Watts Tentet

 Rob

The Police - "Message In A Bottle"

The Rolling Stones - "Gimme Shelter"

We lost a great musician and drummer. Rarely talked about for how great he was while just being always in the pocket. Never too flashy yet always the backbone to one of Rock and Roll's greatest bands!!

Married. T

Paul Simon - "You Can Call Me Al"

Note from the Group: Congrats to the Newly Weds!!!

The Rolling Stones - "Dead Flowers"

G-Man

Local H - "All The Kids Are Right"

A forgotten great song and video from a forgotten great band. 

The Rolling Stones - "Laugh, I Nearly Died"

We've all heard the news about Charlie Watts. An unimagineable career in one of the biggest Rock Bands of all time. Sadly, this is the kind of news we'll be hearing more and more in the next few years. Hold on to these songs. Dive into them. Enjoy the legacies.

The Rolling Stones - "Paint It Black"

Twisted Metal Black was the pinnacle of gaming when it was released in 2001. And this song as the game was booting up is where I discovered The Rolling Stones, which in turn I then learned my dad is a huge Stones fan. Just being a pup of 8 years old, I would watch my older siblings play. For me this song will forever churn up memories of bonding with my family whether it be my siblings over video games or with my father discovering music.

Cage - "Agent Orange"

The Rolling Stones - "Wild Horses"

The Low End Fat

On today's blog the boys look at songs where the Bass is the main instrument. The one steering the ship. The one driving the tune! A musical theme brought to us by our longtime member Mr. T! As always, Rob gets us started...

Rob

Nirvana - "Lounge Act"

Jamiroquai - "(Don't) Give Hate A Chance"

Mr. T

The Rolling Stones - "Emotional Rescue"

G-Man

Rancid - "Journey To The End Of East Bay"

I struggled with this one a bit. Landed on this Rancid tune, but even though it has a killer bass riff by the legendary Matt Friedman, wasn't sure if it really drove the song...

Jaco Pastorius - "Come On, Come Over"

Then I remembered about this beauty! Jaco is like the Hendrix to many bass players. A diety in the field. A virtuoso and a visionary. Taken too soon, like so many young legends

Doug

Les Claypool & The Holy Mackarel - "The Awakening"

Feist - "Sea Lion Woman" (Chromeo Remix)

Not sure if i've picked this one before, but it's one of my faves. Tough to identify, but impossible to ignore. Takes me back to the Summer/Fall of 2000. Simpler, proper times
