The Typography Blues
With apologies to George Gershwin: white man — particularly this one — can’t sing the blues.
With apologies to the listener: it’s rough and ready, words written and the four parts recorded in about an hour and a half. And I can’t sing the blues. Or even sing.

Chorlton
With apologies to Augustana; this comedy cover was put together in just four hours, so it’s a bit rough around the edges. But even I sound like Coldplay now.

Radio/Karaoke Edit of Paranoia Infection
The full version of Paranoia Infection was about twice as long and contained many verses of misanthropic lyrics. It was all written and recorded during the evening of 31st December 2007-1st January 2008. Part of the original soundtrack featured the sounds of fireworks in Old Trafford celebrating the New Year.
I particularly like the entry of the distorted guitars, but most especially the ring of the overdriven piano.
Involved:
- GarageBand
- some XLR and instrument LightSnakes
- Dream, my seven-string Ibanez
- a Digitech RP-7
- my gorgeous piano
- various breakbeat samples
