Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 18th February: from midday on Friday you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch315

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. You will be able to resubmit the track in future.

Dear Friends!
 The world appears to have gone mad in our absence this summer, so it's about time we sorted that out by releasing a new Wooltones single.
It is called Better Times, which I am sure you all have had. But we can always do with one or two more, can't we?
I must admit, there's something about a girl with a pipe

What's the biggest, best, Big Night Out you ever had? 
A particularly memorable one for me was dropping 5 tabs of acid on the way to see Blackpool Illuminations, but we want to know all about YOURS. 

Were you arrested taking a bunch of daffs to Harold Wilson, perhaps? Or tied to a lamp post and serenaded with a violin? Surely not, we don't expect that kind of behaviour from our readers. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is indeed a pleasure to be back in the employ of The Wooltones and add fuel to the bonfire of hype surrounding the band's new album. 

It’s groovy, innit? Get yours. Ask for Mr. Orwell 

And There’s More - pass me another firelighter, man. In July 1957, John Lennon and Paul McCartney (you remember them) met for the first time at St.Peter’s Garden Fete in Woolton, where John’s Quarrymen were playing that afternoon. 

Who better to celebrate this once in a lifetime 60th anniversary with than The Wooltones, joined by none other than Mr Colin Hanton of The Quarrymen, playing a skiffle set in the very same venue, as on that fateful day that started everything. 

This record is available a free bonus disc, with the purchase of Big Night Out - and you get 2 drummers for the price of one. A wonderful souvenir - especially for the band, who took some of the floorboards home.

lyrics:

i don’t really think i understand
when you fall in love you have to compromise that shit
but you don’t even wanna hold my had (no more)
when i met you i was thinking oh my (this is it)

and my heads still aching
my hand’s still shaking
i hoped you would come 
through

why did i fall in love with you?
fabricate in my head bout the way that we’re still cool
wishing that we could be the two
to fall in love forever till our blood starts running cold

(whoo!)

heaven knows i want this all to stop (and it knows that)
my mind’s been spinning round non-stop
but i’m stuck here scrolling
and i checking on, checking on, 
checking on photographs (sh, huh)
checking if your mind just switched me off

so my heads still aching
my hand’s still shaking
i knew your love had moved
on

why did i fall in love with you?
fabricate in my head bout the way that we’re still cool
wishing that we could be the two
to fall in love forever till our blood starts running cold

i’m glad this thing worked out for you
but what am i supposed to do?
when all i think of all the while
is how you have a lovely frown

SUNNY

Our man has fallen for a lady of the night named Sunny and he thinks he can take care of her, save her from men who puzzle her existence and all the rest of that Roxanne bullshit. However as the song goes on our boy's initial confidence and certitude begins to wane and he can't save himself from the very crime he wants to save her from. His care turns into lust, his lust turns into naivety and his naivety is used in question against her on whether she actually wants to be saved. Questions of love, questions of time; he then looks at his own place in the world. This is Sunny.

...

Lyrics:

Put on something different for me
Lying with your mind disarms, but won’t make me leave
Your wondrous eyes tell me the things that you hold so deep 
I’ll tell you where the sun looks better
I can’t believe we’re wasting it
Put on something different for me
Tell your boy I’ll pay the fifteen

I know the games of chance that you play at night
Your fingertips amidst the moonlight
Does a man go make you feel, Sun?
What makes you think you gotta be like that?
Why you on the floor?
I was talking to myself
Ways that I imagine you
Oh I’m such a little boy
Telling you I’m the man 
Makes me stay up late at night

Would you want somebody to love you?
Would you want somebody to dare?
Would you want somebody to hurt you?
Do you even think that you’d care?
Would you want somebody to be the man
Would you want somebody who could tell you how this ends?
Would you pretend?

Take me, take me baby boy
Put on something different for me
I’ll tell you what to do babe, baby
Worry no more, no more

Do you ever feel like you’re the fool?
Pantomiming as your mind disowns you
As you undress yourself in the corner of a hotel room
I’m mumbling words that I could say to you
About where you are in all your dreams
(He likes to tell you it’s real)
Or your curves beneath those midnight seams
(He longs to know what to do)
As the sun shines upon yesterday
(He wonders how he should feel)
I’ve lost myself somewhere in between

Millions of miles above
Visions of days now gone
My baby, are we lost forever or here right now?
Minds unborn or fated somehow?
Am I supposed to bare you my heart
Sure as sun lights up the day?

Formerly the lead man of ‘Wild Rossa And The ’88’, LAPP is now attempting to do a Zayn, form his very own one man wolf pack and see how many fellow weirdos he can find along the way who, hopefully, might dig the tunes as well.'

Sunny (Single)

For our dear friends Adrian Henri, late of Winckley Square Convent for Girls, Ron Wycherley, tug boat captain, and all who sail in her.

Adrian Henri/ Statue At The Pier Head

Adrian Henri

Recorded in 1974 for the What Now? tv documentary series, this rare surviving interview with Reg Omeroyd traces his musical development, his inspirations and gives insight into daily life, both at Ousewater Television and in the Lounge Bar Orchestra. The interview also examines Omeroyd's meeting with Frank Zappa and the details of a potential collaborative project with Graham Greene. Never broadcast, due to legal reasons, this audio is all that remains of the hour long programme. 

Recovered from the attic in the home of Omeroyd's third wife, Pamela Didcott-Frear, this tape recording was badly degraded and needed careful restoration.

Special thanks to the technical team at the Omeroyd Foundation and Archive.

Are YOU Wooltoned?

LIVERPOOL, MERSEYSIDE.

From the hippest pop spot in England – Woolton may be known hitherto for its retirement homes, swimming baths and irresponsible conservatory home improvements. But now, with a similar wild enthusiasm, the city’s brightest, newest hit parade headliners take their first steps from the Mersey Tunnel to the Pier Head, and across the world and beyond.  Ladies and Gentlemen, I bring you Rob Clarke And The Wooltones. They are sure to give everybody their money’s worth – and perhaps a few headaches into the bargain!

‘Dear listener, I must ask – are YOU Wooltoned?’   -  Diskah

‘This is the one for me’ – Fruits de Mer

‘Rolled up in Rizlas and smoking the finest and rarest essences blended of The Byrds and Wimple Winch all subtly turned and tanned in sunny 60’s west coast kisses' – Mark Barton ‘Thesundayexperience’.

‘Love it! The quality of the recordings- it sounds very 60’s in a good way’ – Phuknose

‘What a buzz – almost blew a hole in my conservatory!’ – Woolton Rifle Club
