About Me


"as beautiful as the chance meeting on a dissecting table of a sewing machine and an umbrella."- Isadore Ducasse


a little song - Well…the clue is in the title - it is the simplest of farewells.
eating lying down - Foodie words combine with anime funk to emerge as a 'lively' lament for an imaginary anorexic.
hope street – Despair on Hope Street. j i m at their darkest but – “it’s only a northern song”.
caption – One for the road - this instrumental track is included on the limited edition compilation CD Soundtrack for a Mersey Tunnel due for release in Feb. 2008.

u n c l e j i m is just over two years old though it’s members - Rob Robinson & David Goard - have worked together on art installations for more than a decade.
As u n c l e j i m it is Rob that has the more avant-garde sensibility whilst David manifests as a miserable version of an Everly Brother (who?). The situation is compounded by a fairly extreme difference in musical tastes. Rob insists that he doesn’t write songs whilst that is exactly what David is trying to do!
Influences? They are as long as your arm and as diverse as dogs but in spite of this - or maybe BECAUSE of this - Rob & David come together to create "digitised music with a fat dab of humanity".
