so super lame of Adele to cancel her residency 24 hours before the first show right?
reports are saying she saw the set and show they had planned the day before the show (they'd been rehearsing with a sit in) and she was like "i'm not doing it".

I auditioned for, and got the gig, as the bassist for the St. Jude band. it's a ~10 piece band with horn section, multiple singers/backup singers, etc. Really, really talented people who just do music for fun - I've only been to one practice so far but I feel somewhat out of my element because they are calling out chord changes and shiz on the fly and I'm just trying to keep up (granted, I'm brand new have ~90 songs to learn). the band plays at fundraising events for st. jude, but also get hired for other corporate/social functions (with our fee going to st. jude as a donation).
I'm super stoked because I grew up in memphis with parents from detroit, so I have a deep love of stax and motown and we play lots of classic soul (sam and dave, otis, aretha, temptations, etc). For my audition, I played soul man, hold on (i'm coming), respect, uptown funk, give it to me baby (rick james), boogie shoes, and I wish. Rehab, hey ya, and uptown funk are in the mix, but we are trying to get some more recent songs into the setlist - stuff that is relatively kid friendly, popular enough for a general audience, and fits for a general soul/funk/pop cover band. ya'll got some suggestions for some fun song ideas? There's tons of 60's,70's, 80's stuff not in the repertoire, but I'm looking for some fun rec's recent stuff.
as an aside: when I had my first audition, they were asking me what type of music I like. I told them I trained on jazz bass, so lots of bebop and jazz funk like miles and herbie, but I listen to a lot of jam bands like the dead and phish. The drummer (a dude easily in his early 50's) was like "well, i'm more of a widespread panic guy"

Maybe some Bruno Mars? Weeknd? Congrats on the gig!
Do you want to dance while also thinking about all the ways you've failed as a human?

So, I’m thinking of ditching Spotify for Tidal. Has anyone done that? Any huge disadvantages there that any one’s experienced?
I love Tidal.
1) I love the feature that your most listened to artist gets a special pay bump from your subscription. 2) The playlists are not as good or as updated as Spotify's. A lot of the time I will just import them from my free spotify account if I really want to listen to theirs. 3) The app used to crash a lot, it's gotten a LOT better. A lot of the problems I used to have with it are connections based because if you are streaming Master quality you NEED a solid connection.
I'm also considering dropping Spotify. My subscription is currently attached to my Hulu subscription which I'm also going to drop because my dad said I could piggyback on his.
Growing tired of artists I like not being on Spotify and really burnt out on the ethics quandry with Joe Rogan and misinformation.
I know I could just do my own research for this, but am wondering what are pros/cons of the different ones like Apple vs Youtube vs Tidal. Which has the best selection vs quality vs ethics etc.?

Has anyone quit Spotify with a family plan? I'd like to leave in solidarity with Neil Young but want to give my family a heads up first. If I'm managing the account will they lose their playlists and stuff if I deactivate?

I have a family plan and I am pretty sure they will keep their current spotify but be changed to free with ads. They sign in on their own, it is just linked through yours.

I'm on Apple music, so can't comment on either. But, I have an extra spot in my family plan that you could use for little while if you wanted to test drive that service.

Have you gotten to the No Doubt episode of 60 songs that define the 90's yet?
i have not, i'm kind of hopping around to different episodes. good stuff?
Yeah, they all are. His ramp up on the 90's ska scene is great in that one.
I'm going in order and just finished June 9, 2021 (Third Eye Blind - Semi-Charmed Life) and the only one that I even considered tapping out of was Juvenile - Back That Azz Up. I have no connection to the song nor any interest in that scene. I still stuck it out and it was fine. I also highly recommend the Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You episode. His commentary on The Bodyguard had me in tears. Hilarious.
