Shit, I can't believe I forgot Matt Sharp. The Rentals were awesome, and Return of the Rentals is one of my favourite albums.

Since when did the White Stripes have a bass player? :\ I know nothing about that band.

But, I remember the guy from Redd Kross recorded basslines for all the songs to their last album. Is that what you're talking about?

"Since when did the White Stripes have a bass player? :\ I know nothing about that band. "

They don't. Suppose Jack White plays his own bass over-dubs.

The Basist for Vision of Disorder sounds pretty tastey.
