How to Play the Powerpuff Girls Main Theme (on Bass)

Oh, the Amen break. It takes me exactly one place... I imagine it's all the Chemical X in my system. As a bassist, one of my favorite things to do is to learn things that were never, ever meant to be played on the bass. Call it the "neener, neener" factor.

So here's my first "how to" video... with a lot that firsts entail. This is also the first unscripted video I've ever done, because the word "um" never makes it into my writing, and I felt it was underrepresented. So there you go.

How did I end up at a Leftover Crack show for New Year's? Easy-- Juicy Karkass was on the bill. El Corazon's line-up for the night was packed with great, local independents... but I was there for the Portland crust crunk. Juicy Karkass' rhymes are more punk than most punk is: he's DIY, anti-corporate, and nonconformist, and you'll never see him on the Warped Tour (which is so awesomely punk rock, Katy Perry headlined in 2008).
