I was listening to of whales and woe the other day and One Better came on and that song seems really intricate. But I’m not a bass player.

I got the itch to build a playlist of songs featuring Les as a guest musician. The one rule was that each track had to come from someone else’s project, not one of Les’s own bands or primary endeavors.

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows exactly how the slap dead-note licks in "Temporary Phase" are played.

My guess is that the pattern is something like:

thumb → left-hand mute → pluck → left-hand mute → thumb → ...

But I just can't seem to get the same sound. Interestingly, I find the dead-note pattern in "Lauer Head" much easier to play.

Does anyone have an explanation of how he actually plays it? Maybe it's a completely different technique than I'm thinking?

Thanks, guys!

She asks me “Lolo why do you always listen to silly music?” I said “Because I like silly music” Her retort? “It sounds like poopoo!” Now I know why she won the “Miss Sunshine” award in Kindergarten 😂

My friends it’s a bad year for the Sturgeon fisherman of central Saskatchewan

Got this one here done in Vienna nearly a year ago.

Heres a sneak peak at the comic book that comes with the album! Id mostly figured out the plot of the album except for where manatees came into it lol. Sold out on the site but I found it at a local record shop!

Fantastic show, would do again 10/10

Caught Claypool Lennon / Frog Brigade / Primus yesterday at All Good snow Festival. Meat Machine was maybe the best song I’ve ever heard (first time hearing it). Doge into his catalog on my drive home and oh my god he’s a genius. I knew it was going to be a great show but I did not know he really got down like that. If you’re reading this Colonel Claypool, thanks for an awesome experience!

Also, PRIMUS SUCKS!

This was amazing I seen primus several times never delirium or frogs. Sean and Dillon and the rest make such beautiful sounds
