New #pdbass video! Breaking down @level42official's BIGGEST hit: "Something About You" (1985). How it was written, how it was played, and digging into each layer of goodness that makes it so good 40 years later.

My wife just convinced me to go to McDonald’s for the first time in five years and now I can’t remember ever eating something as amazing as a McDonald’s french fry.

How "Carousel" almost ended up on the biggest album in history--@michaeljackson's THRILLER and what happened after--as told to me by one of it's co-writers: Don Freeman.
A little breakdown, a little history, and a great ending!

New #pdbass video! Celebrating the 100th birthday of @milesdavis and breaking down, maybe, his most iconic bass line. Digging into "Tutu" (1986), how @MarcusMiller959 played it, how he layered it, and how he tips his hat to the Miles of old.

New #pdbass video! Is there a more underrated bass player in the last 50 years than GRAHAM MABY?! His bass lines have been at the front of @JoeJacksonMusic for years. You know "Steppin' Out" but do you know "Geraldine and John"?

The penultimate @TheBoysTV episode sucked. Little hope going into the finale. Lazy writing FTW.

Here's a big part of the problem:
We live in a society where everyone takes everything personally. Everyone. Everything. Young. Old. Everything.
Let go. Detach. Move on. Stop personalizing.

New #pdbass video! Breaking down one of my favorite Charlie Haden bass solos from @Joshua_Redman's 1993 album WISH, 4 choruses on "Turnaround" show us why he was a master of melody and uncopyable on the instrument. #harmolodics

New #pdbass video! Italian 'Discoploitation' was dominated by the band Change. Their bass lines were funky, complex, and grooving. Here are their ten best (#1 will blow your mind). @CHANGEBAND
