Hi Speedway 5

New song up on our player now: "All Your Life"- it's a cover version of the song by The Times.

Our version keeps the melody intact, adding dub bass, violins, harmony vocals, Farfisa and harpsichord to the arrangement.

It's going to be included on the forthcoming tribute album to The Times & Ed Ball, out soon on the Beautiful Music label.

Oh, and Ed Ball likes our version….

Hello Francis & gang

Check out our new song, featuring Phil Wilson of The June Brides. It’s a cover version of Felt’s ‘Penelope Tree’

It’s a different version to the one that’s on Phil’s page.

Best wishes,

Arash
DJ Lily Zoot

Jun 4 2007 9:10 AM

thanks for the heads up speedway.. however this has given chopperdave a wonderful idea to monopolize the world starting with, you guessed it, handbags. its really quite elementry,
phase 1 sell handbags
phase 2 use profit$$$ to purchase enormous magnifing class that will orbit in space incinerating anything in its path.
phase 3 collect handbags and repeat step 1..

flawless, i know.
Cheers and Thanks,
~Chops

Hello. I hope you all had a splendid New Year!!!! I actually stayed in (with Alfie) which was lovely. Just what I needed after the debauchery over Christmas.
I'm coming to Brighton on the 3rd of Feb. Please tell me you've got a gig!!!

Ps "I love distortion" went down a treat when I played it at The Bethnal Green Working Men's Club!!!

Thanks for your message. Out Of Sync isn't on my page anymore, nothing personal. I'm just fickle and like changing the music once or twice a week.
