It took a few years but Firestation Records have finally given up all hope of selling The Gits (UK) Retrospectulative at full price and are knocking it out for 4€ in their January sale. I’ve only spotted this belatedly and it ends at the end of the month.
You will have to get five of them to make the minimum order though – or perhaps even consider buying something else. Do allow for getting caught for additional tax in the UK now that we’ve fully regained control of our demise.
It annoyed me that I’d made the snare too prominent on this so I’ve knocked out a new version and taken the opportunity to make the second bit of vocals marginally less bad.

Sometimes it’s nice to step away from the computer and synthesizers to enjoy the simple pleasures of playing your guitar through the odd effects pedal. And the even odder one.

An entry in the Chords of Orion Trial by Remix from back in the twenty first century. I’ve half-inched some dialogue to add a little impetus half way through from ‘You Will Become an Old Musician | Bring it on!‘ where the great man himself reads out a less than polite comment he’d received.
The only other additions are new drums and a synth part derived from Bill’s playing where I add an extra bar to the melody to fit the imposed structure. Plus special guest appearances from tam-tam and kangling 1.
Everything else is done by editing, effects, and of course – mirrors.
This is the original.

I bought a cable to split the output of a hexaphonic pickup to individual channels. First go…
I posted this to Twitter a couple of times as on the first occasion a grand total of three people caught a brief glimpse of it as a dim blur in the far distance (a.k.a. a Tweet impression).
Cock-up on the editing front so this is the new improved version with the title and date correct this time, some duff edits replaced and some effect induced oddities deoddidified. I’ve also added parenthesis to emphasise the sotto voce section and of course introduced a new error. The song remains the same.
Hopefully to be followed by the video I started out making about adjusting individual string volume to better balance levels when bowing.
