Weekend At Bernie's.

'Bernard Levine' sounds amazing - like a dynamic masterpiece. There's this bit with very muted drums that sounds so remarkably White Album I can't help but be surprised & laugh every time I hear it. Caz said one of my bass bits sounded very Scott Walker or Serge Gainsbourg which made me feel very good, indeed. Come to think of it - who the hell plays bass for Walker or Gainsbourg? Who plays bass on, say, Scott 4 or Le Historie de Melody Nelson? Does anyone know? They were obviously session men, but the work they did was simply amazing. The bassline on 'The Old Man's Back Again' still gives me chills.

Anywho, a nice bowl of oatmeal & Punchdrunk Love capped the night off splendidly.
