To be fair I think I threatened to steal his laptop because it had some songs from the album on it!!! He is about 8 feet tall though so I'm not sure he'd be too bothered! How be you wingnut?
What's up McPoetry? Long time no hear. You should drop me a line one of these days when you are not too busy fighting crime in the UK, or whatever it is that makes one so busy that they forget their closest myspace friends :). I know I'm guilty too!
There's still the first track to come so keep checking the profile. The song has been processing for a few hours now, don't know why it's not uploaded yet
Just been listening to Daddy Dear..very emotive. Will have to go back and listen to that several times I think. Beautifully written - and I think probably most people would be able to identify with it in one way or another. Fine work sir!
Hi There, Thanks for your comment and support! The songs I'll be doing at The Tim Buckley Tribute are: Pleasant St, I Never Asked To Be Your Mountain, and one other as yet undecided. my EP is available on iTunes, Napster, Amazon MP3, Rhapsody and on CD all linked through my page! Peace Tom
haha. yeah, it really is. Not to sound arrogant... but I think my version is a tad more listenable than the original. But I suppose it depends on what you're into!!
it's out january/early february... quite a while really.. cant wait to get it out.. i will make you disappear is the next single so we're getting that ready.. might have to be a disabled person in the video! cheers dude paul x
Did she now? That was very nice of her!Thanks for the kind words. It's a shame all these recordings are pretty bad quality. It's a long commute, but you could come down to brighton to see us play together on october 4th!!!!
It's about how some girls can go from "everything's fine" to "I'm in a mood with you for some unknown reason which you have to figure out" in 10 seconds flat. More common in the arty types I go for. Also about how we still can't resist them. There's actually more words in the explanation than in the lyrics.
Hello Dick, sorry I've not been in touch; not forgotten your music, just been away and then real busy. They'll be with you in a week or so, hopefully...
ah man i'm not a big fan of what happened in the video.. a clone? was it the star wars convention or something? cant explain that one.. i must go to new york paul x
KELLY JONES KNOCK OFF!!!!

I particulary like Soul Creator.
I don't suppose you or Dr Robotnik listen to a group called Gotan Project do you?

Are you after free beers as well now?!
And yeah, of course it's about Jeff Buckley, everyone has one don't they? It's that where-were-you-when-you-first-heard-Grace thing.
