Sick and tired of having a calm and sound mindset?
Drink at the King’s and talk to this man… He’ll soon change that!
Come on Mr Quiz Master, tell us what you really think! …and don’t mince your words!
Tags: …of 6 hours work at Loom Studio in Birstall, recorded and mixed by Kurt Wood – with many thanks! – Keep The Drummer Happy’s first pro recording…
Whenever new songs are suggested for the Keep The Drummer Happy set list I either scream with fear at the thought of doing them, or get pretty excited to the point of ejaculating. One of the ones I personally hate doing is Talking Heads Road To Nowhere. Simply because the original’s depressing as hell and KTDH tend to turn it into a ‘horse opera’ (if they ever remade Rawhide our version would make a pretty good theme tune replacement). That’s my opinion on that, but fucking HOTEL CALIFORNIA! Let me think… No male vocalist, no keyboard, …and The Eagles had two guitarists both equipped with double necks. You do not want to see the state of the underpants I’ve just had to throw out because of the mere suggestion. Alas here I sit patiently going through the guitar solo and trying to make it work on a single guitar neck instead of four – I’m a nervous wreck and to make it all a bit worse I haven’t got any booze. Bugger.
On the plus side of things we are going to attempt Crosstown Traffic, that’s my sanctum at the moment.
Rant over, in other news it was Legalmaid Juniors’ birthday on Friday (many happy returns) and Thursday saw her being treated to a drink by resident drummer Animal at the Boathouse in Saltaire. Both had a joyous time and to show how much they treasure their mutual friendship, they set about compiling a compilation CD titled “THE INFAMOUSLY BEYOND BELIEF BRILLIANT TIM AND JOSIE MIXTAPE WHICH IS ACTUALLY A CD”.
They only had one problem – Neither of them knew how to get the songs downloaded for free, let alone burn them to an audio format disc.
Enter Fanackapan.
I have done them the disc. However, track 9 sees the inclusion of ‘The Birdie Song‘ by The Tweets and I fear you shall be hearing it in the King’s shortly, maybe tomorrow or Monday perhaps. So, if they are both there could the RHQM do me the favour of instructing the bar staff to crank up track 9 and keep your eye on their faces. Unfortunately I can’t be with you, I’m saving to go on holiday! But! If I do perchance on an irate phone call from Animal, I will record it for your entertainment.
Peace x

A sad farewell to the late Gerry Rafferty from Steelers Wheel…
Not to be confused with John Fogarty from Creedance Clearwater Revival…
’cause some mums are just plain stupid…
