We recorded 10 tracks of HIGH quality rock and roll on Saturday. Just need to "Punch in" the solos and add a bit of SYNTH to the middle section of KRAZY DEALER.
This will blow your shit.
The title of the album will be “STICK IT IN” but written in French. We’re not sure what the correct translation is. We may go with "baton dans la" which roughly translates back to 'in the baguette'. Perfect.
The cover is done. It is of a monk sat writing at a desk and behind him against the wall is a flying V lute type thing.
Our bass player has created this template for us.
“Dear *
It is with little regret that I wish to terminate my contract with immediate effect.
I’m pursuing a career in HARD ROCK MUSIC, which I’m sure you, having experienced the golden age of HARD ROCK (the 1970’s) as a young adult, will understand will take up at least 24 hours of my working day.
I will work my notice as detailed in my current contract.
When I say ‘work’, what I really mean is that I will show up for the minimum number of hours that I can get away with.
During this period, you may notice that my appearance may get a little ‘wilder’, and I may develop a different way of talking. I may also, on occasion, smell of alcohol. This is nothing to be concerned about.
I apologise if my lifestyle choice makes you ‘working stiffs’ jealous.
Yours sincerely,”
We have started writing the second album already.
I wrote 1/3 of a song on the way to work.
Page Three Stunna
It's Monday morning and your feeling blue
Like the Mississippi delta flows through you
Down in the dumps and out of luck
Just a need a little something to pick me up
The toll of the bell says it's half past hell
The devil won’t care if you look at a pair....
Page three stunna, page three stunna
Don’t want no other, don’t want no other
Just a page three stunna, page three stunna
Don't want no other, don’t want no other”
Sounds radical, when can we expect to see the album touch down? I'll be reviewing it for 9HZ so you'll need my address to send me coke, booze and hookers
Are you pleased with it so far? How did it go with the 4-track? Did you do it all live, or bounce the tracks down as you went along?
I have not heard the CD yet. Will has and he says that it is very good...almost life changing. We need to stick some reverb on the vocals and also mess about with some delay on the vocals for Krazy Dealer. We are going to Will's house on Tuesday to have a listen.
Latest update from Mr Bass for those that wish to know.
"Well, we got some stuff done.
Dave came over, we set up in my room, wet to Sainsburys for junk food, and started recording.
I think we got 3 more songs done with some amazing solos. Dave was playing and I was sitting on my bed turning the dials etc, and making physical gestures to encourage Dave. Punching the air, and doing Dio arm movements. I think it really helped with Daves creativity.
We were getting really into it. I was getting a bit TOO into it and kept forgetting to do things.
When Dave went, I laid down ('punched in' some synth parts-the BWWWWWWWWAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW
at the end of Olympian was good, and I also did a solo at the end of Krazy Dealer-DOUBLED UP!!!! In STEREO!
It sounds a bit like the synth noise at the beginning of Who are you? I also put a sub octave bass line in the quiet bit, to sound like a bass note from a church organ!!!! yeah.....
I used my new bass. It's really nice and loud.
Dave's coming over on Sunday to finish off (when the shit hits the fan and Krazy Dealer left to do)."
The next CD is going to be called "The Last Days of Jesus" and will run for a toal of 30 mins.
1. The Last Days of Jesus
(i) The Betrayal
(ii) Judgement of thee Christ
(iii) The Crucifixion
(iv) Resurrection
(v) Ascension
(vi) Father Christmas welcome Jesus into Heaven
The last movement of the song will be designed so that it can be lifted out and used as a Christmas HIT in its own right.
“With holy bread and holy Wine
The men of Christ all sat and dined
Jesus knew he would be betrayed
But he went to the garden and began to pray
The Garden of Gethsemane
Someone had it in for me
The Garden of Gethsemane
Someone had it in for me
Judas came and gave kiss
What was the deal what was amiss?
The roman saw this as a sign
The approached the Christ with swords held high
The Garden of Gethsemane
Someone had it in for me
The Garden of Gethsemane
Someone had it in for me
His men went crazy they had fight
Telling the Romans to take a hike
These radical men would take no crap
But Jesus went he did not scrap.
The Garden of Gethsemane
Someone had it in for me
The Garden of Gethsemane
Someone had it in for me
The Garden of Gethsemane
Someone had it in for me
The Garden of Gethsemane
Someone had it in for me”

(ii) Judgement of thee Christ
(Quiet guitar)
"Are you the Son of God?"

“You are right in saying that I am”
"Are you the king of the Jews?"
(Some kind of guitar/bass effect answers this question first time around....)
"Are YOU the king of the Jews?"
”It is as you Say”
(Four bangs on the cymbal and off we go.... )
Rock and Roll messiah dealt a band hand
Just hanging with his crowd walking the land
Getting down to business talking ‘bout god
Now they wanna kill him, don’t spare the rod
