Artist: Air
Title: Cherry Blossom Girl
Date: June 18, 2023 10:43 AM 		Thanks for posting this. It was one of the first songs I learned on bass. Super easy for bass, but so relaxing. I noticed one bar (around the middle) for bass seems off. Maybe it is tracked correctly but sounds wrong. For anal people like myself, I track scores. I'll try it again and indicate the exact track. Other than that it's perfect (for bass).

Date: July 13, 2022 3:22 PM 		Thanks for posting. The bass line is killer and a lot harder than I thought.

Title: Taxman
Date: December 31, 2021 10:32 AM 		A Georgie song! I'm dying to watch the Peter Jackson Disney doc, but I don't have the Disney channel. I'm reading the Spitz biography (2200 pages) of The Beatles. I'm on page 350 and they are just becoming the Beatles in Hamburg. Thanks James for your always great posts!

Artist: Dan Hill
Title: Sometimes When We Touch
Date: December 19, 2021 12:35 PM 		Oldie but goodie. I remember this was played way too much when it came out. It was cool to "not" like it. I love slow ballads when playing bass. Definitely a tone and confidence builder.

Artist: Roxy Music
Title: Do The Strand
Date: August 11, 2021 10:48 PM 		Another great post from James! I love this album. It was pretty radical when released. Brian Eno on keyboards, an oboe player, a love song to an inflatable doll. It had everything.  
Artist: Can
Title: Vitamin C
Date: August 2, 2021 12:42 PM 		I just heard about this group a few weeks ago. I listened to a podcast (Marc Maron) with James Murphy (LCD) and they both talked how influential Can was. As usual, a great post James, Cheers!

Artist: Khruangbin and Leon Bridges
Title: Texas Sun
Date: June 30, 2021 12:22 PM 		That's for posting this song. I love Khruangbin.  Check out the great interview with Khruangbin on "Broken Record with Rick Rubin" podcast (around Oct 2020). The entire band is very humble and Laura explains her playing style, including the weird wigs.

Artist: Paul Simon
Title: Kodachrome
Date: April 1, 2021 1:04 PM 		I'm old enough to remember when radio stations would censor (blank out) the open line's word "crap". Paul Simon's is certainly a great musician and thanks for posting this!

Artist: The Beatles
Title: A Day In The Life
Date: March 20, 2021 1:14 PM 		> I also shortened the ending of the song to remove the noise/backwards voice.  No need to wait for that part to end the song. Thank you! I love the song but that ending was so annoying.
Artist: Odds
Title: Heterosexual Man

Artist: Love And Rockets
Title: Holiday on the Moon
Date: February 7, 2021 1:53 PM 		I've been trying to remember the name of this band for quite a while. I saw them live in the 1980's when they opened for an act I'm blanking on. Everything went wrong for the guitarist. When they started he wasn't turned on. Next he broke a string and they replaced his guitar. Halfway into the song he tripped on a cord and fell. He gets up and tosses his guitar into the drums and walks off. The rest of the band kept playing then stopped after a minute or so. All of this was in the first and only song. I'm not knocking the band. I like their music, but it was just a bad night for the guitarist. This was in Ottawa, Canada, sometime in the early 1980's. I'm looking forward to playing this song on my bass. Thanks for posting notetracker!
Artist: Beth Orton
Title: I Don't Wanna Know 'Bout Evil
Date: February 7, 2021 1:44 PM 		Another great post from James! I never heard Beth Orton before playing early posted CDLC. I really like her music and voice. Thanks!

Title: Touch Me With Your Love

Title: Walking Bass Exercise 2 (Skips)
Date: November 8, 2015 10:21 PM 		I DL'ed it and looking forward to getting my bass walks chops up to snuff.   Thanks for posting.   It'd be nice to have Route 66 in the CDLC for the walking bass.
