Blaugust 2025: All About That Bass(line)

Mr Peril aka Roger Edwards posted this prompt idea in the Blaugust Discord and answered it here, and it got me thinking. I don’t really have a single favorite, but I thought I’d share some music anyway.

A few months ago I went through another brief rendition of my “I should learn to play bass” thing that’s been recurring for nearly two decades now. I never end up doing anything concrete about it, but I do tend to listen to a good bit of music while I get it out of my system. This time around I mostly ended up on the Scott’s Bass Lessons YouTube channel, and have three “hears for the first time” favorites to share:

First up is Mohini Dey playing Jamiroquai’s Travelling Without Moving and absolutely crushing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdivQCpkDCE

Up next is Chris Chaney playing Britney Spears’ Toxic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXxPUxjQ-cI

And finally we have Jon Button playing Beyonce’s Deja Vu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLHWMRjTmx8

Hope that was fun, because I have some other music sharing post ideas in the works! 🎶
