I loved Matthew Seligman! I was so chuffed that he got to play with Bowie at Live Aid.

Ah! I can see that would see you off :-)

That period was a great one for bassists, though, wasn’t it? (Even excluding Mick Karn and Pino Palladino 🙂)

I can see that; it was a big leap musically from band to solo career.

Yes, 100%.

Even his time in Japan is underrated, imo. To go from 'Adolescent Sex' to 'Tin Drum' in four years is mind-blowing.

You’re very welcome!

Fenner Pearson @fennerpearson.bsky.social · 2d

I’m enjoying this enormously. Would 100% recommend 👍

I was going to wait until 10:01 on 01/10 but frankly I'm too excited (and not that excited by numerology).

SEA OTTERS, the 2nd LP by my almost-techno side The Bionics, is out now. Please enjoy and repost to support tiny artists, thank you very much x

That was (probably) the best show I’ve seen this year: DakhaBrakha at RNCM.

Ha! I hear you. I have to do an annual purge of the unread books pile :-/

Have you read Reza Aslan's 'Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth'? Really good book, if you're interested.

Fenner Pearson @fennerpearson.bsky.social · 9d

Oh! What’s the book?

Fenner Pearson @fennerpearson.bsky.social · 9d

I have! And yes, I love it, too. (Although I think the video for 'Such A Shame' is my favourite.)

Fenner Pearson @fennerpearson.bsky.social · 9d

Oh! That’s a nice coincidence :-)

Fenner Pearson @fennerpearson.bsky.social · 9d

100%! It was nice being led back to the album by Danny Thompson. It’s been a while since I’ve played it.

I was too young to be aware of Danny Thompson's early work, especially with Pentangle, so I only became aware of his amazing acoustic bass work when artists I liked had him play on their records.

Here are three of them:
