NOTES: Repeat Parts 13 and 14 several times, as Parts 1-12 are mainly the 
intro.  This is Weston at his best on bass on 1000 Hurts, but other songs 
like Ghosts and Canaveral also have some great bass lines.  

    Hopefully Albini felt better after he released this album, and maybe he 
kicked Oswald’s ass.  For bass beginners, this may be a good song to learn, 
it has a lot of 1/8th notes, and sounds great when you have a pedal or just 
max out the settings on your amp (especially the volume to get that 
Weston-Albini sound).  For all pro musicians, this is an awesome 
semi-instrumental song and please, please, learn how to spell rhythm!  I hate 
seeing the words rythm, rythem, and rythum.  This song was requested, and I 
would be happy to try and tab bass to any other Big Black/Rapeman/Shellac 
songs.  It is now December 23rd, 3:02 AM, time for
coffee.
