Our 300th Episode!

From Season One and recorded at Riverview Studios, we welcome late night executive producer Todd Yasui! You may not know the name, but you've definitely seen his work! From Cardi B to Kevin Hart and back to "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," Todd Yasui has been producing great TV! We talk about meeting high profile celebrities as well as his humble beginnings in Dave's garage band. 

Guitar Tales Classic: Late Night TV Executive Producer Todd Yasui

Pluperfect, by Dark Company.
From CD 1, 'SNAFU', of the triple CD album 'A for Acronym'.

PLUPERFECT
Tabletop toyset map of the world
Jigsaw planisphere, edges all curled
Worn out games book, puzzles all done
I looked inside to see what I'd won
I'd won a seat on the train to Strangeville
Or a place on the daily treadmill
I'd won a ticket to a 'no prize' win
Or a packet of bent penny pins

Mandelbrot paint set, infinity waits
Half finished painting of a garden gate
Last year's calender was there on the wall
I checked the dates, was I there at all?
I looked out the window, was I laying low
Or was I waiting for the Late Late Show
I couldn't figure out where I'd gone
But I must have done cos I lingered on

Sinewave eyeballs in a metal made head
Robotic vision that can see through lead
Nostradamus quatrains I could decode
Told me I was going into overload
Told me I'd lived twice every day
That I had to listen to what I'd say
Told me I'd had way too much fun
That I should have walked when I'd run

Fun Facts:
* The lyrics for this song were written 4th November 2010.
* This is a song that Pete never sang a proper studio version of and his vocals were lifted from the demo and cleaned up a bit.
* Well, quite a lot actually. 🙂
* This song is mostly E7, D no 3rd and Asus4.
* Rhythm guitars by the Ice Maiden and Nicodemus.
* The lead guitar part at the start that was deemed reasonable was played on the Ice Maiden.
* There will be more lead guitar but it has not been recorded yet.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.
