Little Bag of Gloom (Monster Magnet cover)
A recent Monster Magnet cover I did. FAWM is coming around again (Fawm,org), new FE stuff is being rehearsed, and me solo album is in the works, so shiteloads is happening again! At fookin’ last. 2011 is our year…

Back in 2007, I did this track for the RPM Challenge. One of these days, I might do some more stuff like this. Or I may just eat cake instead.

Answerphone (feat Linzi Ellen)
Me and the venerable Linzi Ellen done this. I took an acapella, and got Massive Attacks-ish on its posterior.

Wotcha you lot.
Well now! A bunch of things have happened since the last posting, but I’ll ration them out over a few new posts.
The most exciting thing happened during FAWM (February Album Writing Month) this year, for which I was enlisted by the venerable John LaSala, chief architect behind the loose collection of creative minds named The Very Us Artists, to take part in the making of a rather special album.
A ragtag bunch of us teamed up with the mighty talented illustrator, Ross Horsley, who runs My First Dictionary, the marvellously callous online children’s dictionary. Our task was to provide accompanying songs to an array of new dicionary entries Ross had cooked up.

The songs are being uncovered one-by-one on the My First Dictionary blog, so do follow…

Where have we been?
Well, we’ve been doing FAWM. “What’s that?”, I don’t hear you cry. Tough shit, sit down and listen. It stand for February Album Writing Month. More? It’s a community of songwriters from all over the feckin’ globe that meet once a year, and attempt to write 14 songs within the 28 measly days that is February. This is Johnny’s second go, and my fourth, so some interesting bullshit should come out of this. Here’s where it is:
And above is one of the tracks I’ve done so far. It has big guitars, and will punch you in the face.

I wouldn’t trade one stupid decision
For another five years of lies
A snippet of a new song from the forthcoming album, bookended by rambling shit. Nice.
Although you are so loved
It had to come to this
You got shut off
Because you always stink of piss
Goodbye To All That, Hello To All This! EP
Good grief. At last.

Considering how long this has taken to get out the door, I’m now thinking about how I can keep the momentum going and release things more quickly. Might do a live gig over a video streaming service, maybe a run of EPs over a month or so, perhaps finish off the album quick-smart. No more year-long EPs, oh no.
Watch this space. Or the Twitter feed. Cough.

You’re the one who had knives,
Set aside for the throats of hunters,
But they tricked you with a trinket and a name
