This is our way of showing our appreciation to Peter Perrett and the Only Ones for giving us something very special over the years, and to welcome them back after such a long rest. If you want to be invoolved and become part of The Other Ones, then please get in touch at theother.ones@yahoo.co.uk.
A few points:
I want this to be fairly democratic. In other words I would like everyone to use this space to talk to each other and then decide who does what, but I suppose it will be first come first served. However I don't see a problem with several versions of a song being made and the everyone voting on it. Or even if they are radically different then both versions could count. I don't think we should impose too many limits. We could build up a large collection, online at least, that could be downloaded or shared. Also timeframe needs to be about 6 months I suppose to get an albums worth together, but it could be open ended online, with new covers of new OO songs even! I am open to suggestions.
Gary
As i know not all people heard Peter Perretts solo album "Woke up sticky" i thought i could post this vid here - hope it's ok & i hope you are doing fantastic Gary - Anyone going to the garage in december to see OO ? - I will - please drop me a note if anyone want to meet up before/after for a pint!

Hugely impressed by the quality of contributions so far. It's making us nervous.Have you noticed that myspace now allows 10 songs? We've just put a load more up.All the best a.c.drift Thailand.
