Too Early in the Morning - 90 BPM at At Home

A quick and dirty debasement of the iconic NIN track. The lyric was quickly rewritten to be about the kind of kids who take the original lyric very seriously as some sort of deep statement. Yes, it's roughly mixed, and you can hear the mic stand from time to time, but I doubt I will ever have the enrgy or time to fix all that.

Spineless Youth - No Apology

A punk song requested by and written for the wedding of my step son Brett. My voice was shot when it was time for recording, so most of this is first take stuff. One day, I may tweak the chorus a bit (and redo the second half of verse one which I think lags in power, vocally), but for now, it is what it is. Lyric below:

Matrimony x 2

Don't let the world decide
If you've made up your mind
Walk down the aisle hand in hand, with pride

Bring on the flower girls
Or boys, if you prefer
This is the day to say
That love will rule in every way

Now listen, it's your day
To celebrate your way
And anyone who disagrees can go away

Now let me tell you this:
The state of wedded bliss
Is less about the forms and rings
AND SO MUCH MORE ABOUT THE KISS

Matrimony x2
     A joining of hearts
Matrimony x2
     This is where it starts

Yes, you can go to church
Like all the other nerds
Or you can find a venue you think works

And if you don't want to
I guess that's okay too
Either way, today's the day
To say that love rules every way

Don't let the world decide
If you've made up your mind
Walk down the aisle hand in hand, with pride

So let me recap this
The state of wedded bliss
Is less about the rings and forms
AND SO MUCH MORE ABOUT THE KISS

Matrimony x2
     A joining of hearts
Matrimony x2
     This is where it starts

Spoken: The kiss is a metaphor
Happy birthday! No, uh...congratulations!

Matrimony x4

Matrimony (lyrics and description on song page)

A tribute to a good friend.

I can't claim to have known Stefan Renström (the driving force behind Swedish prog band Simon Says) all that well. But even though we only met once in real life (unless phone calls count), and would interact only occasionally online, he was a person I felt tremendous affection for, and whom I respected greatly. 

I feel his loss intensely, and wrote this piece for him last night.

I was going to put vocals on it - and I may yet, if a suitable lyric comes to me - but for now, this is what it is.

Elsewhere - Durovernum Cantiacorum

The most iconic version of the Inspector Spacetime Theme was used in the show from 1967 until 1983. Written by John Gray (but often misattributed to Bernard White since he recorded the extended 1975 single version), performed by the BBC Radio Orchestra conducted by Wally Stott. Electronic effects by Delia Darbyshire.

The 1984 version by Michael Bar is available here: http://soundcloud.com/teaflax/inspector-spacetime-main-theme/


Inspector Spacetime Main Theme (1967)

The 80s version of the Inspector's theme, used until the late 90s. Arranged and recorded by synthesizer whiz Michael Bar, probably most famous for his novelty singles "Synthia" and "Synths and Sinners", and of course the theme from "Mid-Day News Reportage".

Inspector Spacetime Main Theme (1984)

The first version of the Inspector Spacetime theme. The opening narration was removed after the second year because "it was utter nonsense and tosh" according to series director Terry Mandelay.

Inspector Spacetime Main Theme (1962)

Bernard White's single version of the Inspector Spacetime theme barely made it into the UK top 40 in the summer of 1975, but was largely ignored in the rest of the world. Except for in The Netherlands, where it climbed to number 4 later in the year after it was used as the theme for the satirical sketch show "Meer vis in de zee".

Still, a very rare single to find.
