   About num
I've recorded a new album and it's called "Cowboy Up, Cupcake", songs from the album will be up here soon soon soon.


..

My debut album "Life, Death, and the Absurdity of Being" is available from all good download sites. You can also order a physical copy from my website for £5.99 post free. Clicking the "lamb" album cover, or the "numlomo" link below, will take you straight to the site. There is a monthly draw for everyone that buys a copy and the "lucky" winner will receive an object of random beauty from my random object collection. I'll vandalise it a little by stamping "num" on it with my trusty old lino cut and then post it to you. I obviously won't have the names of everyone who downloads the album but if you have downloaded it and want to be entered in this peculiar draw just email me your name and address. How strange. There is also a FREE album to download on my website called "lamb" which is an album of stripped down versions of some of my songs. It was recorded in one 38 minute take, a show with no audience. The link below takes you to the website where you can download it or if you can't download, send for a free hard copy... Also there is a free studio EP to download called "The dead mans handbag".
See you there.
Tony






I am compelled to write and record songs in the vague hope that people who are also confused and numbed by our insane culture can relate to them and maybe feel better knowing they're not alone (does that make sense?). I've just finished yet another new website (this one loads quicker) so don't be a stranger. Below you'll see a link to my lomo slideshow, it sort of acts like a universal video for the songs you can play on my site (hard to explain, go see it...). Also I've put all my old blog entries into one new one, I say "blog" but it's more like the frantic observations of someone nearing the end. I've recorded my new album but I'm still fiddling with it... As soon as I have a few tracks completely finished I'll post them here.

darlin, just a reminder:

**** new songs please ***

you need to share your art with the world, no? what good is it to be lovely, talented, sensitive, wonderful, expressive, fantastic, capable, beautiful, and alive if you keep it to yourself (and a few surrounding friends). you could heal so many more with your words and music.

it has a healing property, you know.

you do know that, right?
