Never caught the name of this band, but they were fun and funny. 

"That's a cool bike, 
Let's ride all night 
Can we get out the city where there's no lights? 
Except our head torches, everrrry bo dy  watches us go fast like lightening, 
So fast it is frightening. 

Get your head torches out. 
Get your bells out. 
Break it down Dougal." 

Bike song at Spiegeltent, Edinburgh International Book Festival 2011

Titan of taps

What Matt saw in Bratislava

Gale got a new tap, so I wrote a ridiculous tabloid headline and voiceover. TOP OF THE TAPS. Terrific titan of taps tackles total twatty twat taps to top the Top Taps table, taking the total Top Tap of Taps title.

Titan of taps BASS. Gale got a new tap, so I wrote a ridiculous tabloid headline.

my first ever guitar recording, from the mid-2000s. Evidently untaught!
