Had a rare afternoon free last Saturday and so for the first time this year attempted some recording. Actually the first since another Christmas song last year. This is as far as I got with the time I had, don't know how it sounds to anyone. A dystopian Christmas to one and all! :)...

Hi. Not much chance to come in here much recently with focus being more on playing with the band than recording, as well as some other rather less fun stuff to deal with. I'll try and catch up on recent offerings. Anyway, here's something I pulled together over a few evenings last week in an...

Hey, I started this a few weeks ago - then I had a bunch of problems linked to the Windows 10 anniversary update and my setup got pretty messed up. As part of getting back up and running again, I moved over from an old version of Ableton to Reaper. I figured this would be as good a project...

Okay, trying to get a new recording space up and running and this is the first new thing I’ve recorded from scratch in about 2 years. New room, couple of bits of new equipment and I’ve done a bunch of things differently to try and improve the general quality. This is a cover of an old...

Been a while since I've had chance to work on anything new, and this is maybe a bit of an odd one to come back with. It's based on another tune I had in the clinic a couple of years ago which I'd originally intended to be a bit of an ambient soundscape piece, but had gone off in another...

Yeah, it's just all round beautiful - beautiful album and incredible artwork. They always have great packaging, but sadly I only have other BOC albums on CD. It's quite a long album, so it's 2x33 1/3 rpm on nice heavy 180g vinyl. Here's the back for the sake of completeness. :cool:

Some albums just feel right for vinyl. This scratchy beaut is one for me:

This is the only BOC I'm interested in, and is just an allround freaking awesome piece of vinyl:

You ever tried M&S's Cornish IPA Muttley? From St Austell's - one of my favourite bottled beers I think:

Ok, I did this Elvis Costello/Robert Wyatt cover a while ago as a collaboration with my buddy Joe. He sent me a piano and a vocal audio file and I chopped his piano about, built some guitars, bass, a beat and crappy background vocals around it. I was kind of pitching for something a bit...

That's cool too. I never heard anything sounding like that coming out of Germany before. I guess you get preconditioned to thinking that experimental German stuff has to be in a Faust vein or something. Thanks for posting that Anders. I came across these two photos of the man. How great are...

Morning all. I wanted to work on something new to contrast with endless remixing of old stuff. This was originally intended to be a bit of a low key, ambient piece. However, it turns out I'm completely incapable of restraint... Heatmiser was kind enough to help me out and provide a couple of...

I'd never heard of this guy before this weekend, but this old tune of his is currently rocking my world. Eight minutes of pretty much musical perfection (after the first 30 seconds of the video): that tone throughout... :cool:

Rest assured, I wouldnt be seen dead in these if they weren't magic:

I'm trying to pull some tunes together for a bit of an album at the moment - revisiting everything and going back to the mixes to try and improve em. A couple of years ago when I did some vocals for kcearl's album, we discussed a remix of one of my tunes, but never got round to it. Anyway, I...

Yeah, love that guy - he'll always be remembered for that goal now. Not many finer sights in football than Cahill shadow-boxing the cornerflag :D

Starts this week! Anyone else on here looking forward to it? South Africa was all round pretty awful with crap games, no stand out teams/players, those friggin vuvuzalas and Spain boring me to death with that endless tiki taka shit before eventually boring the opposition too into conceding a...

Hey, it's clearly odd song weekend on hr.com. Here's another one to join the party... :eek: This started out a while ago as a set of lyrics. I made a little 90 second acoustic and voice demo from them and then built this big arrangement around it. I wanted to make something that sounded a...

Hey, I've been toying with the idea of making bass traps and acoustic panels for my little recording room for a while, but I've been put off by not knowing exactly what I should be buying for the main body of them. I've kept nearly heading out to buy some acoustic panels, but I've got no idea...

Has just started a weekly two hour radio show on BBC 6 music :D Had a load of jobs to do yesterday afternoon and it saw me through nicely. All the songs hang on a loose theme each week - good mix of reggae, country, garage and some other stuff that I hadn't heard before all nicely...
