I’d like to take a moment to recognize some bands who emply not one, but TWO bass players…
Enjoy.

Slug
(Sadly, there are no videos available for this band… However, they released 3 good post-rock albums in the mid-nineties, which are EXTREMELY hard to come by.)
Honorable Mention: The Cure – Lullaby

Robert Smith and co have been known to incorporate the 6-string bass along with the instrumentation. This song is a good demonstration.

After a hectic and rather stressful week, I have found myself less than motivated to write. However, about a week into November, my fictional juices are flowing, and I finally have made some progress.
Builing on an idea that has been floating in my head for nearly two years, I am finally putting pixels to paper so to speak, and am fairly confident that I’ll be able to complete 50,000 words before month’s end…
Knock on wood.

This is my personal entry into the blogosphere. I have previously posted at Lava Lung where I write an occasional music review or discuss indie games and films. Do keep checking in for more of that great Lava Lung content!
This, however, shall be my personal blog. The place where I post random bits of randomness on a semi-irregular basis.
For now, though, it’s time to figure out this whole WordPress thing.
*Editor’s note: The author of this blog has not started any fires, despite the title of this blog. Though he has been told he grills a pretty good steak.
