about

This song has been a headache from start to finish.

First of all, I was going to call it ‘Time’, until I remembered David Bowie has a song by that title. Then I thought I’d call it ‘Time, Time, Time’. Tom Waits has collared that one. So I’ve called it ‘time time,’ and if it turns out somebody else has a song with the same title I may have to rename my song ‘time time time time’. And so it could go on...

This song is currently the subject of ongoing litigation so I will only tell you what I’m legally allowed to. Read on.

I booked a number of classical musicians to come and play on this track but none of them could find the place because their smart phones aren’t so smart and their maps were made by Apple.

The drummer had apparently got on the wrong train and had somehow ended up in Berlin, so I was stuck with only a ukulele player and a bass player.

We spent the day recording this little song. Then a man came in to mix the sound but apparently was suffering from an ear infection and a nervous tremor (drink-induced by the smell of him) which led to him deleting all the takes of the song apart from the first one. (I asked him to look for them in the recycle bin but it turned out he had deleted that as well. I won’t be using him again).

The contracts I had with the ukulele and bass player, which put them on royalties, meant I was legally obliged to release a version of this song, so here it is. Apparently nobody has explained to either of them that 10% of nothing is still nothing.

I quite like the crunchy bass and the ‘oo-hoo-hoo’ solo, and the improvised vocal certainly has its moments of blistering clarity and gibberish...

However, that aside, I would like to take this opportunity to entirely disassociate myself from this murky blot on the musical landscape.

Accept my most humble apologies. Your sympathy and comments are more than welcome...

about

bushytunes Christmas Island

Once upon a time there was a crazy idea: to create, record and upload a musical track every day for a year. And the idea floated round and round the planet, looking for a place to call home. After a long time of searching and wishing and watching, the idea chose to make a nest in the brain of a bushy fellow, coming to his aid and guiding him out of the doldrums, back to a magical pathway... ... more
