Description:
Our contribution to the MJ Woodstock festival. I probably don't need to say much about this because it's more an experiential thing. Skin up and freak out. :)
Since neither of us will get on a plane we weren't able to attend Woodstock in person (and the fact that I was only 7 months old at the time didn't help). So we astrally projected onto the stage during a particularly vivid acid trip. Those who were there may or may not remember seeing this shadowy and enigmatic British band in the line-up, half human, half animal ...
Dick played all the instruments and also did most of the songwriting, with some lyric contributions from me.
Vocals are a four-way collab between me, Dick, Chiana (my cat) and Django (Dick's dog).
Hardware:
Fender Strat, GT8, Ibanez bass, Garageband, Apple drum loops, herbal refreshments

&mdash 03/19/08 - 01:57:06 PM
The Ovaltine is OK but steer clear of the Horlicks.
Thanks for being firsties, we always appreciate your enthusiasm and support. [ Reply to This ]

really good when I saw "Rebsie" as the poster... Always good stuff thus comes!!!
Sweet... Won't get on airplanes huh? Hum... spent most of my younger years in the air as a pilot. Let's see, close to 12,000 logged hours... more if I count the airline logs. [ Reply to This ]
But... &mdash 03/19/08 - 10:56:14 AM
I can't hear the cat meow or the dog bark! Maybe I just missed it! :-)
When I was recording a few years ago I was trying to do a vocal track and really working my voice and all of a sudden my cat sitting right behind me goes: MEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWW! I left it in the track just for fun.
I'll have to search for that song... Probably have it on tape somewhere! [ Reply to This ]
The dog starts about 1:45 &mdash 03/20/08 - 03:20:16 PM
and the cat jumps in at 1:59 or thereabouts.
Post your cat song. Maybe we can do a another festival, we could call it ..............................................................................
Pet Sounds..
I'll get me coat, thanks for listening and I'm pleased you enjoyed it :-)
Cheers

This is just great you two! Really fun, well produced song with GREAT vocals! Congrats! [ Reply to This ]
It was fun to do &mdash 03/20/08 - 03:22:52 PM
This is so catchy... &mdash 03/19/08 - 11:17:15 AM
I have been humming the tune since listening to it. It's really a smile-maker of a song... very in keeping with the idealistic times surrounding the sixties.
Jack [ Reply to This ]
&mdash 03/21/08 - 08:16:53 AM
Thanks Jack. It made us smile, so we hoped it would have that effect on others too. Not that I remember much about the 60s ... *cough* [ Reply to This ]
Dreamy &mdash 03/19/08 - 11:38:26 AM
Colourful song, very trippy! I like this, it's very good. That's some crazy guitar in there too! ;-) [ Reply to This ]
&mdash 03/21/08 - 08:19:25 AM
Glad you like it Dave, colourful and trippy is what we were aiming for. [ Reply to This ]
What do you call a young sitar? &mdash 03/19/08 - 12:33:47 PM
A baby sitar.
Anyway, moving on... this is a very groovy piece of neo-psychedelia which ticks all the right boxes.
And as for Rebsie's spoken word bit at the end: I do love a woman in unicorn.

Light Show &mdash 03/19/08 - 02:55:36 PM
My mother-in-law used to do light shows for bands that traveled through Seattle in the 60's and I kept picturing what she'd do with this song, which means, I guess that you guys really captured the vibe o' the times. The transitions from the solo voices into the melted, melded univoice are just really cool. I'm listening on monitors and it's really groovy sounding. I'm looking forward to feeling those voices travel through my head when I put on headphones.
Killer guitar solo and tremolo RULZ!!! [ Reply to This ]
&mdash 03/19/08 - 04:22:46 PM
If we ever find ourselves touring in Seattle (after they've invented aeroplaneless transatlantic travel) we'll be sure to book your mother-in-law for a special commission so you get to see the real thing.
Always delighted to get comments from you Lisa, your friendship and support mean a lot. :) [ Reply to This ]

Thank you so much for organising and inspiring it, Feter. Your love and enthusiasm for the music is what started this whole thing off. [ Reply to This ]
Unexpected, nice &mdash 03/19/08 - 05:17:29 PM
I was hoping you'd join the Festival, but I expected you in the folky part. This was a nice treat. Thanks for sharing. [ Reply to This ]
&mdash 03/19/08 - 05:42:55 PM
It's good of you to drop by, thank you. I've tended to stick within the folky genre because my limited instrumental skills didn't allow much else, but now I've got Dick's amazing range of musical skills to draw on I'm able to explore my wild side. :) [ Reply to This ]
Shades of yellow submarine &mdash 03/19/08 - 05:31:39 PM
But this has a character all it's own. Love what you two have done here. Definitely takes me places I wasn't ready to go, again.
Thanks Dick and Rebsie for a really great trip.
Ed [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Ed &mdash 03/20/08 - 05:02:18 PM
I probably wouldn't want to go there either :-)
This is really a distillation of the sounds I heard growing up in the 60s before the drugs kicked in.
Cheers

Kinda' a neo-60's sound on this. Great job Dick.
Really cool vibe Rebsie. Far out and groovy.
LL [ Reply to This ]
I think I prefer doing intros &mdash 03/22/08 - 10:49:59 AM
above all else. Grabbing the attention and then trying to hold it.
Pleased you enjoyed it.
Cheers

This is great &mdash 03/20/08 - 07:53:43 PM
A lot of fun - great vocals, and lovely sounds running throughout. I love the intro, and the drums and bass give it a nice groove. I especially like the freakout it becomes. Very cool. Enjoyed that journey. Peace. [ Reply to This ]

what a guitar solo &mdash 03/23/08 - 08:50:01 AM
great solo dick - love the extreme panning.I wasnt there - and I cant remember not being there either.Happy song - how come the snails didnt get any credit for that slidey sound at the very end though? Also why is it bloody snowing - still? Smashing vocals - like the alternate lines,Rebsie - and your alternating interstellar comment systems of reply.Creative stuff - cheers ears n beers - RG [ Reply to This ]
&mdash 03/23/08 - 04:21:36 PM
Sorry about the snow, I won't do it again.
Great to see you back Richard ... the snails will be pleased too. [ Reply to This ]

Shades of Traffic .. &mdash 03/29/08 - 01:40:07 AM
.. that spoken bit from "Hole In My Shoe"!
You two are doing some great collabs, this being one of them.
Rebsie, you are sounding as wonderful as ever, and Dick's just a one man band.
Good stuff.
