I thought I was done thinking about this, but ...OK. I thought I was done thinking about this, but oh, no. Now I have become obsessed with the bassness of these songs! I thought it was maybe up to half when I replied above, but I have been listening to them slightly differently since the potential bass theme was pointed out. Subtextual? It was totally subconscious. (can a thing be both?) I just like the way they sound together and really hadn't thought *why* I do. Until now! Here's the bass verdict (although some are a lot more basstastic than others):<BR/><BR/>1. Alpha beta gaga - yes<BR/>2. Ces Bottes sont faites pour marcher - yes<BR/>3. Nifty's Freilach - this one has probably the *least* amount of overt bass, although the piano does get pretty bass-like at one point.<BR/>4. Seven One Eight - god yes<BR/>5. Get Ur Freak On - yes<BR/>6. Sadder Day - yes<BR/>7. Jessica - yes - although more subtle than some.<BR/>8. Wraith Pinned to the Mist (and other games) - yes<BR/>9. Sitting in the Park - yes<BR/>10. Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive - yes<BR/>11. Sista Social Theme - yes<BR/>12. god Slick - yes<BR/>13. Jon E. Storm - yes<BR/>14. School - oh, yeah<BR/>15. Go Go Power - yes<BR/>16. The Untold Story - yes<BR/>17. Change Clothes - YES<BR/>18. La Breeze - yes<BR/>19. Is This Love? - yes<BR/>20. Freilechs Von Der Chuppe - yes<BR/>21. Like a Feather - yes<BR/>22. La Fin Du Monde - yes<BR/><BR/>so - good call.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16998413591822017096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9372380.post-1130196049883783222005-10-24T16:20:00.000-07:002005-10-24T16:20:00.000-07:00I wish!

My only musical ability is that I like to listen to it - which distorts the meaning of 'ability' beyond all recognizable forms, but it's the best I can do. Other than that, yeah - I think you're on to something - bass definitely has a big part. It's not as prevalent on every song as the two you singled out- but others might have handclaps or a similar start-slow-speed-up thing. It seems to hang together when I listen to it in order or on random, which is my mix CD test.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16998413591822017096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9372380.post-1130184400165108402005-10-24T13:06:00.000-07:002005-10-24T13:06:00.000-07:00I like a number of the tunes on your list -- was t...I like a number of the tunes on your list -- was trying to see if there was any subtextual throughline whatsoever here, and happened upon bass lines: your fave Of Montreal song is powered by a good one, as is the Nikka Costa song... are you by any chance a bass player?mernitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09185401856113179709noreply@blogger.com
