Au Pairs - “Come Again” (5.28MB mp3 file)
Since moving to Los Angeles, I’ve made goals for myself every year — but attainable ones, not crazy shit like, “Be a movie star!” or “Win an Oscar!” or anything like that. (Not knocking you if those are your goals, but I’m a shitty actress.) In 2010, I acheived some pretty amazing (to me) comedy goals (perform at a festival, work on a TV show), so I decided that in 2011 I’d learn to play bass. Although I like a bit of everything (for the most part), my favorite genre of music is post-punk, which has a heavy focus on funky or angular bass lines, and my favorite parts of a lot of my favorite songs are the sweet bass licks.
I wanted to get a head start on next year’s goal, so I went over to David’s house for my first lesson. After I picked up his bass guitar for the first time, he taught me how to play the bass line to this — my favorite Au Pairs song — in about 30 minutes. (I mean, he taught me the notes — I’m not trying to act like I’m some savant that was slappin’ like Victor Wooten on my first try.) It was so exciting! I bought my own bass the next day and I’ve probably listened to this song more in the past few days than I had in the whole of my life, as I’m trying to perfect my technique.
Songs That Saved Your Life
don't forget the songs
that made you cry
and the songs that saved your life
yes, you're older now
and you're a clever swine
but they were the only ones who ever stood by you
I'm April. I like music.
