Looking back.....

Id forgotten about this track, until i found myself inexplicably singing it.

Since then, i just cant get enough of hearing it. Basement jaxx really are excellent.

Thats all... just wanted to share my hype over this old track.

Mark King.... Rocks.

Im totally aware that many people wont know who he is... but Mark King is the lead singer and bassist from Level 42.

Now, im a bit of a Level 42 fan but id never heard of this song before its called Mr Pink (performed live). Its fairly self indulgent, and really 80s, but it just goes to show how good the guy is, especially for a guy who actually never wanted to be a bassist... he was a drummer.

He only started playing bass in 79 when he joined level 42 and they already had a drummer.... i think thats what you call natural talent.

Now, i dont know if the song is an intentional nod to weather report (and therefore jaco pastorius the biggest genius to ever hold a bass guitar), but it certainly sounds like it.

Either way, enjoy.
