What are you listening to?

And if you get Lords of Acid....you probably know about this! Worth a watch in 2017, it's literally a time capsule of a great party era.

 

Trance music for today!

 

A client of mine just bought me tickets to see the almighty Uli Jon Roth next year is Asbury Park New Jersey. Not only did he get tickets to the show, he also got the Metamorphosis VIP package which means I will see Uli play Vivaldi's Four Seasons in it's entirety. I really am lucky to have such an awesome job and have made some of my best friends being a trainer !!!

 

One of my all time favorite singers!

 

Andy Rourke is an awesome bass player! Definitely falls into the unsung hero category. Definitely worth a strong listen. Somehow I always group him in with Peter Hook, though the style is different.

 

I'll join you.... my next couple hours:

 

Love Peter Hook. His mid to late 80s work with New Order definitely was part of the soundtrack of my youth. I am still trying to find "me" on the bass, and I am trying to nail down what it is about different players that appeal to me. With Hook, I always found his bass lines to be very melodic (often literally) and funky, but in a really dark way.

 

I think that ultimately finding yourself on an instrument is a conglomeration of all of your good influences meeting all of your bad habits.
Now I'm in the mood for New Order:

 

And later, for reading and pipe smoking....
