Multi-instrumentalist and former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Jeremy Spencer says he never “actually picked up and played a real live bass guitar” until March 2022.
But he’s mastered the thing already and commemorates the experience with the instrumental “First Bass.” The titular low-end instrument doesn’t come in for a full minute. But when it does, it dominates Spencer’s slide guitar, melodica, piano and drums and owes more than a little to one John McVie.
It’s not a complex bassline. But it’s a slow-grooving one that makes for a unique entry in Spencer’s long and recent spate of mostly contemplative compositions.

if you're wondering what the big deal is about the louis-philippe sentence in les misérables, it is, in the original french, 760 words long. the subject of the sentence doesn't appear until 95% of the way through, at word #711; the main verb is word #712. the sentence contains 91 commas and 49 semicolons and is almost entirely a list of laudatory adjectival phrases describing the erstwhile king of france. this is perhaps especially notable because les mis is, shall we say, not known for being particularly gung-ho about the monarchy.
this sentence copied and pasted into Word takes up more than one page single-spaced. in the 1800-page folio classique edition, it is fully two and a half of those 1800 pages. that means that les mis is 0.14% this single sentence. more of les mis is made up of this sentence than earth's atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide (0.04%). if the page count of les mis stayed the same but every sentence was the length of this one, les mis would consist of only 720 sentences total.
incidentally, guess who named hugo a peer of france 17 years before the publication of les mis?

I keep seeing people speculate what Kiriona and Ianthe were doing before the events of NtN and you guys. CLEARLY they were doing this. (Kiriona as DJ crazy times. Ianthe as Ms. Biljana Electronica. Of course.)
