Listening to Radio Fip, three songs in a row as posted below.
As per the youtube comment, you can take Albert out of The Strokes, but you can’t take The Strokes out of Albert…
ETA: and then they top it off with this magnificent Cocteau Twins song…

There was a great interview of Carol Kaye on the BBC radio program The Documentary aired June 25 of this year. It is called Carol Kaye: Queen of the bass and if I could, I’d link it here, but I lack the skill. I hope you can find it.
