b'Where There\\u2019s a Will (& Enough Alcohol) There\\u2019s a Way\\n\\n\\n\\nFor those of you that saw the post that was put up yesterday, you already know that Chris has had the week from hell and Aaron also had some rough news over the past seven days.\\xa0\\xa0But, have no fear, another episode is here!\\n\\n\\n\\nWe may be a day late but we\\u2019ve got all the bottom-end that you can handle and we\\u2019re not talking about Kim Kardashian (thanks for the extra hits Google Alerts). We\\u2019re picking our Top 6 Favorite Bassists today! Why 6 and not the requisite 5 that we always do? Well, you\\u2019ll have to listen to the episode to figure that one out but let\\u2019s just say that it was due to one of the hosts and it wasn\\u2019t the buzzed one.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe Joy of Hops & Bulletproof Vests\\n\\n\\n\\nWe eagerly anticipate a shitstorm of hatred from this episode since it\\u2019s about as subjective as it gets. What were our criteria? Well, this week Chris was going through so much that his criteria was basically, pick bassists that he digs and that are memorable. Aaron on the other hand did his homework and has plenty to say about his choices, why he made them, the mysteries of the universe, and a dissertation on the physics of mechanical resonance in pre-Industrial Age Manitoba. Actually, the beer flowed and lots of stuff came out so that\\u2019s our best guess.\\n\\n\\n\\nEar Candy to Shove in Your Head Holes\\n\\n\\n\\nWith so many different options to choose from on this list, we give you a plethora to think about and digest in this episode. No clues, no hints, just listen to the show and get your torches and pitchforks ready. Some of these you will agree with and some you will not. Either way, it\\u2019ll be a good distraction from traffic, treadmills, or bosses with bad breath. We hope you enjoy it and can\\u2019t wait to get the hate mail. Rock on folksies!\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices'
