I Talk To The Trees
Back In The Day
Whilst having an effects sort out I put my 1986 line up back together (with the Moollon substituting for an Italian Crybaby that died long ago).
By the end of that year I’d decided it was far too much effort and didn’t use effects live again for two decades.
Time Is Of
Tunes lying around divided by UK life expectancy minus current age equals one E.P. a month until death. Shall aim to start releasing from January.
Have to hope for dramatic rise in life span to fit new ones in too. This is what happens when you keep over 30 years of notes and recordings.
Note I didn’t say which January.
Vintage & Retro
Guitar
Great (greɪt) adj. 3. Of Relatively Long Duration
And the inevitable video. Tracing the locations of the sound effects recordings used in the tune.
Now available on the Camp Of Bands:
It includes the original graveyard drunks version which couldn’t be used on the radio as they inconsiderately didn’t bear in mind OFCOM language guidelines during their slanging match.
And tacked on the end is the unrepresentative last part of the Opus for those who can’t spare the eighteen minutes required to listen to the whole thing. Also being stripped of sound effects it does give the ear a clearer view.
Traditional Album Release Anniversary Post
Oops! I forgot. Had spent all of an hour on doing the video in advance too.
It’s Windy On The Coast
Tucked away on the end of the Mr Slater’s Parrot Kyra video were the perils of catching the wind on the south coast whilst employing our one video idea for The Pop Art Affair album.
Where Have All The Bands Gone?
As trying to maintain several different personas to separate music roughly by style is rather time consuming I’m going to drag everything under the same banner. What that will be I haven’t made my mind up on yet. Some of the tracks may well re-emerge at a later date.
They were artificial distinctions as the tracks I do are just as they happen to come out rather than designed to fit any particular mould.
