Lightning Bolt - Hypermagic Mountain

Finally I get around to some Lightning Bolt. This band shows how bad two guys can kick your ass, that's right, just bass and drums. They do it consistently on every album and Hypermagic Mountain is no exception. Bad ass riffs, and super-tight compression make this album sound huge, and volume is a factor which must be considered in order to listen to these guys properly. They turn it up, so you should too.

Hella and Me



A few years ago, a good friend turned me on to a band called Hella, then a guitar/drum duo. As a bassist, I immediately felt the need to fill that gap (and test my skills, big time). So I recorded the whole album, except for D.Elkan and Brown Metal, and tried to get it done in as few takes as possible so i left some mistakes in that i liked. Over all i think the bass lines stay true to the songs and add a little something to the harmony and rhythm. Well, there's not much more I can say except that it was a pain in the ass and I really enjoyed it.

Thanks for being awesome.
