7. LOL
OMG at work the other day - I left my glasses on the desk of a coworker I conferred with - a young guy. When I retrieved them, he said, "You should get one of those...." - then he just stopped. So I yelled, "OLD LADY (glasses) CHAIN?? IS THAT WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO SAY? I WILL KICK YOUR ASS!!!". That poor guy. :rofl:

16. I didn't know that.

There were so many Ikettes, it would be hard to name them all!

What else are you listening to for your birthday?

20. Actually I've been trying to work out the bassline for this one.
Bad Case Of Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ro9WdeGrsM

One of the tunes for my new band. The walk is easy enough, but there's a solo in the middle and I'm trying to come up with something interesting. :)

26. I loved the bass solo...it was sweet.
Maybe it's my computer, but the bass line was a little light. Maybe you could for a little heavier sound on the solo? It's so worth hearing... :)

27. I agree.
I'm actually going to use a pick rather than my fingers on this one to give it a little more punch. We're a guitar based band (no keyboard) and our overall sound is a little on the heavy side anyway, so I think the bass line and solo will need to step up a little more than BB's studio version. It'll be fun.
