Mr Beanbag: Sentries' Parade

I've decided to do a podcast every month in 2017. This one has conversations with myself, short stories and songs about the January blues and a shopping basket on top of a bus stop. There's also an attempt at a variety show, a couple of jokes/adverts and a lot of jingles. 

Thanks to Mike Spragg, Tom Laws and Chris Cooper for contributions. If you want to send me anything or just tell me that you think I'm a bit of a knob my email is beardybollocks@gmail.com and I'm @beardybollocks on twitter,

Everyone gets the blues in January

Two American old-time string band fiddle tunes played by Lois Hornbostel on Southern Appalachian mountain dulcimer. From Lois's CD "Dulcimer Jubilee!" Ken Bloom, guitar and Jeff Furman, banjo join in on Hangman's Reel."

Dulcimer Jubilee!

Released at Slipstock 2017.  AMIGAAAAAAA!

Apologies to The Clash.  I can't believe I actually released something with me singing in a relatively non-nerdy way.  Greets to everyone who was there and everyone who couldn't make it.  It's 8am the next day and my head hurts now.  Peace!

Darling you've got to let me know
Should I dub or should I bro?
If you say you like the bass
I'll put a smile on your face
So come on and let me know
Should I dub or should I bro?

It's always wub wub wub
You're happy when I play the sub
One day it's Skream, the next Skrillex
What are you spinning on your decks?
So come on and let me know
Should I dub or should I bro?

Should I dub or should I brostep?
Should I dub or should I brostep?
If I dub there will be bassline
And if I bro it will go double time
So come on and let me know
Should I dub or should I bro?

This indecision's bugging me
How many genres do we need?
And what is trap supposed to be?
Who cares so long as it is filthy
Come on and let me know
Should I dub or should I bro?

Should I Dub or Should I Bro

Sometimes you find an old finished track lying around and it doesn't sound as bad as you remembered.

Better stay out of my way on April Fool's day
