Hi there! Nicholas and me are finally back together in "Marmelade Skies". Or was that Soundcloud?

Marmelade Skies (Part-Time Beatles)

With the good old Double-Tape-Deck-Sound of the late 80ies here´s a Birthday Song for Nicholas Maycroft. Viel Vergnügen!

People Like Us (Never Get Old)

This is about the Ups and Downs of Love with a Woman I never met. Fortunately! Anyway, I had to invent her, to compare this Love to the Love you feel for a certain Football Team. Have Fun with Leicester City.

Okay, okay, the term "Evergreen" as we use it in Germany for a song that will always stay in our ears and hearts, is not used that way in Great Britain. Anyway, this song compares love to such a song. You may feel free to compare love to a tree that stays green in winter as well. This is especially for my wife for our 11th anniversary. Let´s stay Evergreen!

(Our Love Is An) Evergreen

Let´s go back to the year 1990, when I wrote my first Liverpudlian Songs. I was living in Wavertree, thinking that in the Long run I just wanted to have my fun. So I recorded this track on the legendary Porta 1/2 with loads of echo and stuff. Now nearly a quarter of a decade later my german alter ego "Herr Beikert" made a german version of the song called "Langsam". It´s not really a Translation. The german version is funnier. Anyway this is the original. Enjoy! 

In The Long Run

Here´s something to think about. What if Judas had never betrayed Jesus? Would our fine Religion even exist today. So we should feel at least a little thankful about poor Judas. This Xmas-Song is based on the "Life Of Brian"-Intro. The only difference is that we take a closer look at "Judas´Barn". Have fun!   

Judas

I know, we´ve done that quite a few times before. Taking THE Neil Young-Song and changing it a bit, to make ones own song out of it. "Hey, hey! My, my! Ripping Off will never die!" Anyway, the message and my aim is true. Thanks for listening.

Maymay Byebye

One of the first ever collaborations of Mister Maycroft and Mister Mac Rocosm is this fine Christmas Song from the very early 80ies. We called ourselves Dryden Lane and performed this song together with about a dozen more more beegeeesque than beatlesque tunes accompanied by our house pianist Eric Richardson (Erich Richard Arens) in our school hall.
The slightly strange english aside (what the hell is "that debumber"?) it´s a nice singalong track for all you Christmas fans out there. Have fun and a wonderful Christmas time!***

Hey Mister Lonesome (Dryden Lane Xmas Classic)

One of the best Songs, that I ever wrote. Recorded way back at the end of the 80ies. In the new Millennium I put some drums to it and Mr. Prinz played the bass. After stretching it to two and a half minutes with the PC it´s finally time to present it to the world. Have fun, world!

In A Quiet Moment

All I really know is the snow that was falling down that winter in the good old 1990ies. Somehow we decided that it´s a good idea to have a Christmas-single of our nice little Britpopesque band "The Castafiore". So we wrote and recorded it in our cellar, and ordered about 300 copies on vinyl. We never really sold many of them. A few months later the band broke up, and all I really know is the snow that was falling down that winter...

Stan´s Xmas

Snow

Happy Christmas, all my Friends! Time for a new Xmas-Song. So here it is…
It used to be a Tradition for Mister Nicholas Maycroft and me, to write al least one new Christmas song each year. I guess, when we´d find all of these tunes, we could make a Christmas CD-Box just as big as the Sufjan Stevens-Boxes. Maybe sometime in the future to remember once upon a long ago. Have fun with this new one. And never forget: It shines bright like the star of Bethlehem.
