My name is joe_mcalinden. I used to have a band called SUPERSTAR and have been involved with the likes of BOY HAIRDRESSERS, BMX BANDITS, TEENAGE FANCLUB, CAPTAIN AMERICA, PASTELS, ROD STEWART. I am currently in NOM and am in the middle of recording my first ever solo record.
MAKE YOU SMILE - DEMO - VOCAL & RHODES.
Just thought I'd put this demo up again. I've almost finished a full arrangement of the song which I'll post in due course. If I'm inundated with requests, I might be tempted to let you download this demo. Let me know what you think.
MAKE YOU SMILE - DEMO - FULL BAND.
Here is a full arrangement of the song. Work in progress. It's just a rough demo so if anyone out there wants to mix this for me please get in touch.
BROWN BIRD SINGING - DEMO.
Again, just a rough thing. I like the idea of you hearing work in progress. See if you can make sense of it. Any mix engineers out there?
FUTURE INFO:
More unreleased SUPERSTAR nuggets for download featuring ALEX CHILTON and MATTHEW SWEET to name but a few.

Konbanwa(good evening) Joe, Doumo Arigatou(thank you so much) for your request. I think I remember you in 90's. It's very nice to meet you here. I like your songs and I would like to listen to more. Please take care and keep in touch. Matane(see you)!
Hey Joe, hoping the 'tic can hold onto the league so, best of luck for this afternoon. Referee put paid to our slim chances of Euro action next season (a similar fate befell United too by all accounts), so my season now revolves around hoping the H%&s don't win the league. Also, how can I get my hands on Make you Smile? Be lucky, davis

Thanx for the downloads I had been after these (with little luck) for a wee while. Its never too late to say this (3:48 am Barcelona is sleeping, well some of it anyway) You are a truly great songwriter! Good night d
The west of scotland must have taught you to mind read. There I was armed with my USB turntable, and you have beat me to it. Thanks Joe. Tuxedo Princess on the Clyde, and autograph from you in the corn exchange are my memories of this era x
Joe, thanks for the two Groovy singles.I saw one of the last GLN shows in London ULU back in 1991 and bought a Teen FC T-shirt instead of the long-sleeve GLN shirt. Two days later I saw the BMX Bandits in Camden, playing with members of both bands, and I was dancing with four japanese girls. Well, good times. Cheers, Olaf
You have made my day! I have been a big fan of superstar since Palm Tree. Phat Dat is also a great album, Someone's watching over me is overwhelming and gets me everytime.
Best of luck with the upcoming stuff, I look forward to it!
Hi Joe, thanks for adding me. I loved Superstar, Palm Tree is one of only 2 or 3 albums I can always put on and not touch anything until they finish. You sure can write songs man! :)
I didn't realise you were on here. I spent all of last night listening to all of my Superstar CD's, and remembering how utterly wonderful they are.... I wanted more so searched tinternet and found you. Joy! I just wanted you to know that it still sounds stunning and I can't wait to hear more. All the best for 08. Al
