Weekly bass cover
L'arc~en~Ciel - READY STEADY GO

J-pop and J-rock consistently has some of my favorite playing. Even when it's relatively simple, it has such cool little bits, and it's often very rhythmically and harmonically dynamic. The little run up to the chorus in tetsu's part here does a neat thing where there's a tritone up to get up to D, which just sounds super cool.

Pride month music observance!
It's important to remember that queer people have existed forever; many seem to forget that and just focus on queer people of the 20th Century and onward. In particular, some legends of classical music were definitely or likely gay - among the "likely" category are Chopin and Handel, but Tchaikovsky is fully in the definite category.
Here's an attempt at the beginning of his violin concerto on bass.

RIP to Andy Rourke. Such a fabulous bassist, really big part of what made The Smiths so great. I had actually just done this bass cover of This Charming Man a couple months ago. Love this tune, love this line.

One thing that was/is great about Queensrÿche is that they mostly didn't feel the need for relentless virtuosity to enforce their progginess. Tate's vocals are pretty flashy, but the instrumentals were relatively subtle. Eddie Jackson in particular kept things fairly simple, but it always just worked. Sometimes you've just got to lock it down and let the complexity be emergent.

It's all fun and games to laugh about The Killers because of lyrics like "Are we Human or are we Dancer?" and "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier" and because Mr. Brightside is all memed up, but the bass line in Jenny Was a Friend of Mine (and a bunch of other tunes actually) fucking rips.
