Whats the scoop?

Ok, here it is, What are we trying to achieve... Well anything really, we have no expectations as long as someone somewhere likes it (but more importantly, we like it). We are surrounded by various musicians and tried to think of a way where we could bring all the musical talent of our extended circle of friends to one virtual place and record and produce something we can give to our kids/friends/family/ourselves to enjoy. ANYTHING ELSE IS A BONUS!!!

Aims and Goals

It's all pretty simple, we wanna do some good music, have some good times with alot of good people... there's not enough love in the world. Fuck me! we sound like hippy's! (Not that there's anything wrong with that, each to their own!).

So how does it work

At the moment, guests come in and record a few tracks over each song. We then sit and listen to each bar/riff and find good loops cut them and discard the shit! Sorry peoples, but even Hendrix hit a bum one from time to time. Then it is time to position each loop to get a good progression through the song, add some drums, vocals, keys and effects, some twiddles, some cuts, chops, chains, whips, dips and hits, flips, nips, twigs, and crips

HEY PRESTO

Like a flame from the proverbial phoenix' ass, a golden egg of song debauchery, redefining the word and phrases "mixamotosis", "lick my love pump" and "do you wear black?"Special thanks to Steady, who, without his efforts building the studio,none of this could be possible.Cheers Dude

Wearing the yellow jersey after the first leg

We had to start getting ruthless with some of the samples and loops. "Cut the fucker! Cut them all!!!" It was all sounding too messy with far too much going on, needed streamlining, so we put it on a ...

Vox track 1.. Vox (croak) track 76 (yawn)

After spending an hour and 30 mintues to do a trip that should take half that Jezzer Dilla found himself fighting rush hour traffic and the clock to pick Stone up from the station and get back in time...

Hearing Things That Just Ain't There

The Jezmeister and myself have decided it's time to concentrate on one of the three recorded songs and get it up on myspace as soon as possible, so we decided on BIM, not quite sure why. Probably cuz ...

A note from here, A note from there, A part from the middle, A part from the end...

Well well, we noticed that when we put the distortion effect on to the lead solo on NUP it seemed to bring out some dull fart like noices during the second 6th of the loop and we couldn't be having th...

A Quiet, but most productive one!

As we trawled through the numerous riffs, hooks and loops of WFTS we carefully sipped our Apple Wine and drew breaths from our favourite tobacco sticks and slowly but surely we were able to put bits w...

Getting Ready for Guest .4!

We decided to start bouncing tracks down to streamline and organise the files, in preparation for our second bass player to 'ave a go. We did quite well, and got two of the songs done, then we decided...

Here We Go! Here We Go! Shit, No We Don't!

England, cheated out of the world cup again. It had nothing to do with shit penalty taking. We had to get our minds off that debacle so we emersed ourselves in NUP and BIM. We worked hard, we worked f...

Time Off? How Very Dare you!

So 2 weeks off eh? Well, it was a well earned break and we jumped straight back in the saddle feeling refreshed and raring to go. Then we got pissed.... But we still worked through it, listening to th...
