Ben Harper, Bassnectar

Old 
       Ben Harper -  Bring the Funk off his 2003 album Diamonds on the Inside
Ben Harper might be most well known for his slower, stripped down songs such as "Burn One Down" and "Walk Away", but plenty of rock and reggae songs fill out the 8 full length albums that he's put out over almost 20 years. My favorites happen to be the funkier songs. "Bring the Funk" has a great bass line. I can't find a good video of it, so find it on iTunes. 

New
       Bassnectar - The 808 Track, off of their 2010 album Wildstyle 
This one's just a straight up bass heavy electronic jam to start your weekend right. I stumbled across these guys because I was trying to listen to a bunch of bands on the Bonaroo line up that I've never heard before. I wasn't expecting electronic bass heavy music (probably should have, given their name), but then I remembered that hippies love acid, and acid loves electronic music. Happy Friday.
