Owe it all to the Bride of Spinman BABY NUMBER 3 IS ON THE WAY!
Artistic Contributors To The Feloniou$ Munks
From start, to finish: Spinman Finn (aka deKeeper), 'sWeed' Chillus Knox (aka Mistah Hardcore), Dewdrow Mann (aka G-Fi), Seedy MacTavish (The Dirty Scot).
Came & went (and in some cases, came back again):
Nayve Dube-King (aka Slick Sharma), Silky Montego, Naughty Pine (aka DJ Dwight), JaeBee Buck, Slim Peck-Ince (aka Marshall Ney), April Flowers, Hans DeLeon (aka the prick who deserted early on), Princess Butterscotch, Bob Kahn (live drums).
Although it wasn't my intention at the outset, I ended up being responsible for everything you hear except the obvious voices, most accoustic / live electric guitars (t/y, Krainmaker, Dewd & Naughty) and occasional instrumental flourish, usually delivered w/ deft skill by s'Weed. The deadly crunch guitar and synth sounding bass derive from a program I love more than hockey (Leafs suck!). Real proud of the rythms, most beats and percussion hits set individually (and lovingly) by hand. My motto from the outset: A kickass loop is just the beginning...
Spinner's Top 10 Movies, All-Time:
1. Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid (perfection)
2. Papillon (my boyhood hero)
3. Miller's Crossing (Cohens' masterpiece)
4. Rocky 1 (there were no others)
5. Posse (Bruce Dern vrs. Kirk Douglas)
6. Runaway Train (John Voight rules)
7. Domino (fantastic)
8. Jaws (still chilling)
9. Apocolypse Now (a real brain freaker)
10. Halloween 1 (often imitated...)
