The Electric Buffoon
Description:
Slightly surreal, slightly camp, a bit naff, but I quite like it!

Standing in the Corner
Description:
This was co-written with my old friend and musical co-conspiritor Neil, who wrote the lyrics and the basic structure of the song. It was arranged and recorded by me and is now part of his own band's live set in a similar version.

Re-record a Prayer
Description:
This was an attempt to make a better fist of 'Say a Prayer', my first song, though I had no clear idea what I wanted to do to it. In the end it became something completely different. Not really a song, but it was an exercise I learned from. One of only three songs I've used an actual guitar on (so far...)

The Thighs of San Juan
Description:
Not really an actual song or proper piece of music, more a sketch for an arrangement. There is a second section full of wonderfully cheesy Bacharach-like chord changes which I've yet to record. Featuring the clarinettist who never breathes!

Percuss, Concuss, Discuss

An uncharacteristic foray into nasty dance music, of which I'm relatively fond.

Radio, Radio
Description:
A mellow cover version of the classic Elvis Costello song. God knows what he'd think if he ever heard this... This was only the second song I ever recorded, so its even ropier than the rest...

Say a Prayer
Description:
This is the first song I ever recorded, in Cubasis, on a computer. Its terribly earnest and borrows heavily from some pretty obvious influences, but to this day I have a fondness for it.

John is the best, everyone should grovel at his feet.
Please pay him lots of money and tell everyone about him and get him to make a cd and release it! |
