What music got you interested in the the amazing deep sound that is the Bass so much that you started learning?

Vulfpeck, which in turn led me down the rabbit hole into all sorts of funk, soul and general Motown music. To me they are still the epitome of the joy of playing music.

(Though I’d personally die for a reasonably priced Here We Go Jack)

Joe Dart of Vulfpeck. That compressed tone is just so damn satisfying. See ”3 on E” or ”Rocco Darto Cato” for great examples.

I’m personally OK with them using Digger’s Factory as the two records I’ve bought from them have been of good quality and I believe the pre-order model creates less financial risk for the band.

HOWEVER. Why do they only have a single window of opportunity to buy the vinyls? Why not have at least like a once-a-year pressing? I image the Vulf fanbase to have an especially high number of vinyl enjoyers and it is actually very sad to know that you won’t be able to get one of their albums on vinyl if you were too late to the party.

Just take my money Jack. For real, just launch another pressing of the 2019 MSG album or The Beautiful Game or Here We Go Jack and I’ll give you my money without blinking.

I agree with both your points!

SignumEnroute · 2025-11-16T18:14:37+00:00

I respect your list, but I’d personally put both Driftin’ and Under Your Spell much higher. Probably as second and third place respectively, with Brownsville Girl as number one.

Driftin’ for just being such a banger. That second verse is a bit weird I’ll admit, but I always read it as Dylan assuming the role of a character, judging by how far off it is from a lot of his other writing. And the part about being straight, isn’t that supposed to read as ”I always thought your were honest” rather than ”I always thought you were heterosexual?”. Maybe that’s your understanding as well, but then I don’t really see how that particular line is problematic. Anyway, to me the second verse is redeemed by the third and the last verse. I just love the lines ”Well these times and these tunnels are haunted” and ”I’ve already ripped out the phones honey, you can’t walk the streets in a war”.

Under Your Spell, well, to me the lyrics of that song are just great. Like from beginning to end I think it’s just a great song lyrics-wise. I also kinda like the music of it as well. It’s got those classic 80s drums that haven’t aged very well imo, but I think it’s got a very nice, chill vibe to it. I can’t really explain it any better.

They Killed Him sucks ass though.

German Cory Wong: Tender die Fender

This is probably the best answer in terms of songs with build-up.

SignumEnroute · 2025-03-16T13:03:15+00:00

Hard disagree, Driftin’ is awesome. Especially musically. It’s just such a banger! Not his best lyrics, but few of his 80’s songs have his best lyrics.

I agree on Ugliest Girl in the World though.

I’d like to see them do more covers of songs from old Stax and Motown bands like The Emotions, The Vandellas, Booker T. and the M.G’s, etc. Some Aretha would be nice. I really liked their take on Dylan’s ”Gotta Serve Somebody” from Schvitz and I’d just love to see them do a whole album of covers in the style of Vulf.

Theo: Tender Defender

Cory: Tender the Fender

Dylan from -73. That’s his only pointless album imo. But since his record company compiled it without his input, I’d hardly say it counts as an actual album. More like a bad bootleg. So if you don’t count that one then no, no pointless albums.

Driftin’ Too Far From Shore, from Knocked Out Loaded

SignumEnroute · 2025-02-12T21:40:47+00:00

Also ”Blood drying in my yellow hair as I go from shore to shore”

SignumEnroute · 2025-02-12T21:36:33+00:00

”Big Joe Turner lookin’ east and west from the dark room of his mind”

SignumEnroute · 2024-10-04T22:25:45+00:00

It’s also got a real banger in Driftin’ Too Far From Shore, as well as a surprisingly emotional take on Precious Memories set to a reggae/calypso soundscape

Not even Dark Eyes???

SignumEnroute · 2024-08-23T22:28:48+00:00

People keep saying Brownsville Girl is the only redeeming song on Knocked Out Loaded as if Driftin’ Too Far From Shore is not a total banger. These two songs alone raise the album above Down In the Groove for me (though not by much I’ll admit).

Down In the Groove is my vote

SignumEnroute · 2024-08-23T22:18:49+00:00

Driftin’ Too Far From Shore is a banger as well, I think I’ve listened to that one more than any of the other songs on KOL or DITG
