I'm doing 1000 Words, and it's about how priests make bad lovers. For the sake of indie-cred mythology I'll say I learned that through personal experience.

Love,
Luke Henley

Also, Iggy vs. Fraggle Rock sounds like it will be the greatest song perhaps ever written. I have high expectations.

Swore I'd have a weekend off, but my dalliance with some ska drum loops has resulted in that most feared of things - white boy reggae. Well kind of. Brace your woofers for Balham's 'Bite Size'....

Can't wait - always up for a bit of white boy ... reggae, that is ;)

Oh, and should I be receiving royalties for appearing in your latest avatar? :)

I find low expectations make my recorded output a far more pleasurable aural experience ...

On Sunday afternoon I started writing and recording a 3-part rock opera for 'Dog Boy Hits The Skids':
Part 1: Dog Boy Hits The Skids
Part 2: Dog Boy Goes To The Vet
Part 3: We Love You, Dog Boy


the story of an anthropo-canine mutant who is neutered to prevent him from biting passers-by.

After about an hour I realised it was far too ambitious a project for a Sunday afternoon so I gave up.

...maybe I'll enter something next week.

Welp, I'm in for shut up and sit down with a little bit of country-tinged industrial-thrash metal.

I was punting for a 'dog boy hits the skids', but it became far too Neil Old for good taste.
I shall be on the sidelines cheering instead.

This week has been the busiest week since Christmas for me work-wise and somehow with a monstrous amount of inspiration from my man TheHipCola and a late night mix Sunday I managed to pull together a little angst-ridden industrial blues style ditty for 1000 words. His guitar work was the reason for it to come together, so a big call out to the little mung-dingus in baby land. Appropriately it's under the name TheHipTripper. A great merged name coined by the marvelous Shite. I always thought TheTripCola was kind of cool too.

Game on beyatches. Game ON!!!

I'm amending that to "I'll be in Shut up and Sit Down with something very quick and not experimental at all."

You should know better than to pander to my whims - you won't have any time left to do anything else!

I like your avatar but it took me a few lo-res minutes to figure out that you're swigging from a can'o'beer and not demonstrating that your jaw is fully detatchable .... :)

I was going for that 'V' look. Dislocating your jaw and swallowing a live rat on stage would certainly make Ozzy's bat incident pale in comparison.

I'm in for Shut Up and Sit Down. I finished at 5:00 am. It's got a definite "Latin Band" feel.

I think my Shut Up and Sit Down made it on time. It's not country-tinged, Latin, experimental, or industrial, though.

I've noticed a worrying tendency for me to quietly announce that I will be featuring in an at-that-point low populated fight on a Sunday afternoon, only (once time difference is factored in) for it to suddenly become a maelstrom of last-minute two-hour-rushed musical focus, most of which end up sounding better than something on which I spent all week ....

Why, it's coincidence for sure, but anyone would think y'all wanted to fight me or something .... ;)

That is all.
