I mean listen to O'Rourke and her, the difference in style is unbelievable.

yeah, Jim O'Rourke's bass playing seemed much more rhythmic. I mean listen to 'Patter Recognition' and other songs he's played bass on. He's seriously a brilliant musician.

After seeing them live with 2 basses I thought it sounded excellent...you figure that Kim could have played guitar on alot of those songs if she really wanted to and let Mark handle all the low end.
