Nate Wood’s fOUR: Rabbit

I’ve seen more than a few Facebook friends share this video, and I immediately saw why.

Jean-Baptiste Salles: Radiohead’s “Exit Music” for Double Bass

I’m a sucker for a good Radiohead song, and even more so when there’s a great bass cover of it. Jean-Baptiste Salles brings a beautiful depth to the melancholy melody of “Exit Music” from the band’s iconic OK Computer album. “I accompanied myself with a Bass VI,” Salles says, adding that he included the piano in the video as a...
