Hook, line and sinker. It's certainly not my favorite font, but given the number of folks like yourself with a passionate, unreasoning hatred of this one particular font, which is no less cheesy than many others, "comic sans trolling" is no doubt a real and deliberate choice for some folks by now.

Well no wonder the Irish like it. It's got a lot of words. Really nice work. Really, really nice.
This reminds me of when I was first starting out and I "jammed" with my guitarist friend. I didn't know what I was doing or that he was recording, until he later told me how great my bass line was; when he ran it backwards 
. To this day I've still never heard it.

I decided to leave it be. I realized from taking TB's temperature on it that I was a little oversensitive to it, partly because of knowing how my own daughter would react. But I've also stepped away from that project, not over that or anything negative but just that I felt I've done what I said I would do in it and want to move on to other things.
I am a nerd of sorts, but I like this stuff.
It was virtually considered a civic duty to hang out in the Agora and chat idly.
(That's the Parthenon in the background, up on the Acropolis).
And now, back to your regular bass programming.

It's a swell thing to nerd about. Sometimes there's nothing more enlightening about a topic than how it came to be.
I wonder if anyone played bass there?

As far as I can tell, probably this guy did. I mean, he's been around FOREVER.
(That's the King of Sixth Street (Austin TX) Jerry Van King, BTW. Street bass busker extraordinaire.)
@Chicory Blue your bass sounds perfectly fine on that recording. Fits the song well, good tone - nothing to be ashamed about at all, in fact, well done!

Thank you- I'm quite relieved to hear that. I was worried my tone was too thin and transparent- my SUB tends to record awkwardly, especially since I switched to rounds, but I hadn't set up a dedicated "recording" bass at that time yet.

Bass sounded good. The song doesn't suck. It reminds me a bit of Ron Hawkins or Lowest of the Low
That would be pretty awesome actually. If I somehow got on a radio station in Ireland AND managed to find out about it I would consider it an accomplishment no matter how awful the clip was.
