skiffle?

Skiffle! That'd literally be good.

Skiffle dub! I'd buy that in a hot minute.

Other news - I'm recording more stuff now - it's a "secret", but will post up as soon as it's ready to go.

Eric Clapton Unplugged. Sold how many million? Effectively a skiffle album. Makes you think.

Yeah, you be right. He's no Lonnie Donnegan, though.

All that money, all that technology, all that time. To discover what? that people do love a bit skiffle.

"Cumberland Gap" is pure r n r Win. No Elvis, of course, but no L Donnegan = no Beatles or Stones.

It's all about the Formby

right, well, the transformation has begun.

i guess you'd call it sort of an evil blues rock, but whatever it is it's what comes naturally to me, not all that other shit which was experimental for the sake of being experimental. my life just got way easier.

keep in mind that this is the very shell of a song, like the embryo of a song if you like. and if you think it's shit you can tell me so, i don't mind, but i didn't even mix it or anything.

Cantanky - I'm very impressed with your song embryo thing - very bluesy, as you say, with dollops of distortion and shit. Sounds like it could be very promising re-recorded with bass and drums. Well done to ya, you beastly rock monster :)

sounds good. great guitar tone. i like the feed back that sprawls throughout the songs.
it might sound good if its an instrumental as it is but in the last ten seconds sing like one verse and then end it.
and i liked the ending.

I might have mentioned this before, but I'm part of a small-time experimental outfit called Autosuggestion. We're pretty eclectic and odd, and have a habit of skipping through various styles of music with reckless abandon with mixed results; Sort of like H.N.A.S. or Nurse with Wound, if only because we share a certain dark-but-snarky tone and total lack of real (genre) consistency. We've released some not-entirely-presentable demo material on the Interweb, but I'd prefer you get any further released material direct (if you're so inspired)...

Our first real gig is an upcoming opening slot for the Sea Trio at World Café Live on 15 October. Oddly enough, we aren't listed on the venue's website with the other acts. I think it's because we were invited to open for them after the blurb was written. Still, disconcerting.

thanks melly and fugazifan

and yeah, as i said, it's like the shell of a song, it's not even demo quality, but i'm absolutely going to keep working on it and re-recording until i'm happy with it. i would love to build a studio if i had the space for it, but i don't.

Just made a facebook music page, with a slight remix of my one song demo.

my sound is mostly sy-influenced but i try to change it up. ive got some noise bits in there as well. its not shitty. i just have work to do

you have been FUPPETED

ima try and scam some studio time off my friend so i can put some stuff down properly.

new project that you guys might dig

i was inspired by Monorails and Satellites by Sun Ra (which is the genious himself sitting alone at a piano) to create some strange solo guitar stuff. All improvised and recorded live. I didn't want to let the tracks run too long because i can't usually take this stuff in large quantities, something i stole from the Faust Tapes. I also wanted the pieces to be really abstract, but not obnoxious----> let me know what you think

i am once again bandless.

if anyone is in the tucson area, and would like to start a band with a brutal prog/skronk/free jazz/no wave/grind sound email me at alehrer1@email.arizona.edu

Years ago I was in a band called The Cheaters.
I played lead guitar, we were like The Clash meets early Rolling Stones!
We made 3 albums. And for a time were signed to Parlophone in the UK which as The Beatles label was pretty cool for us!

me and my friend

Hi Derek - I liked the "Entro" tune - very spacey - but the one I really love is "26th June 2099" - a beautiful, pastoral number that's perfect early morning music. Well done to both of you for that - that's really decent stuff.

Much appreciated Melly!

i made up a "solo" for that song i was working on while i was fucking around on guitar

shit quality recording
and it's in the wrong key for the song, it's a half step up because the guitar i was playing it on was in standard but i'll fix that when i record it.

Yep, it's a good 'un, Cantankers!

I've decided I whall record my first EP. It will consist of rerecorded songs on my Myspace page as well as new ones. I'm creating the cover art right now.

it sounds like shit because i recorded it in the bathroom
and it's kind of bleak
but here you go

I cannot for the life of me find a like minded drummer.

My one music partner basically is just a pothead who goes with the flow... XD and has no real musical knowledge (he's a tab reader)

I like it, seriously.

Seriously?

srsly.

Ja, ich bin ganz ernst hier, Herr Pookie.

Why is everybody being so serious?

Because you touch yourself at night!

SRSLY.

not me.

I have the same problem, except I can't find anyone at all. Maybe a drum machine or learning drums yourself is the answer.

al shabbray - just finished listening to your MySpace tunes. Very, very good stuff indeeed, sir! Great sounds and good production. Good work, fella :)
