Now that I think of it, there are a whole bunch of Roger Waters tunes that also need to be on it.

Sorry for the ad, but it's worth waiting for it.

So add some.

Part of the fun of Sleater-Kinney is getting quite good bass guitar sound - with no bass. (hence the winky face) Guitar down tuning, particularly on the part of Corin Tucker works nicely. (and some synthesizer work, less fortunately, here and there)

Recent examples: Can I Go On and The Dog/The Body from The Center Won’t Hold.

Older: What’s Mine Is Yours and Steep Air from The Woods.

Yers, John

Leland Sklar
