Please help me to inspire Ade to reopen his line of Wesley Willis t-shirts. Mine wore out. I need a new one. Thanks Wesley so much for your pure and uninhibited authenticity. Thank goodness that you were around when you were and also thank goodness for the random people I sometimes meet who seem to embody a similar spirit to you. It was only last weekend I was lucky enough to meet an old lady, a 'cancerian' called Diana, who sang Doors songs with me at the market. Thank you, I understood and good luck. She understood the 'flake.' Back to this song, it's a true story and if I hadn't have made this, Ade's head might have exploded like when we was at Krakatoa in the famous picture. this kind of joke is warped innit. Will someone please design me a 'this kind of joke is warped t-shirt?' Ade, I'm looking at you but I know you're busy. I love my friend Ade and all my friends, it kills me so bad that life cut me off for so long and seems to be trying to perform a checkmate, but at least there is still the gag, the joke, even if it's warped. As long as there is even a trace of it, a remnant, that's enough to carry on. PS. I'm serious about trying to find the Canadian lady who wanted to buy a bulk order of Wesley Willis shirts for her shop. If this song ever found her, I would literally buy Ade the cable so he could access his old computer for the design, get a t-shirt press, and press them myself and this time take the details down correctly and ship em out. thank you. love greybagZ and the bugman. this is a song, a celebration of 'the gag', friendship, the flake and not giving a fuck.

This kind of joke is warped (in dedication to Wesley Willis)

'Sometimes life can take a serious turn.' I've known about the 'flake' a long time. Most of my friends know about the flake. I survived many an acute flake and I've helped many people through acute flakes. The deep flake is the worst. But, for the last 5 years I've experienced chronic flakeage, like, non-stop 7 on the flakeometer interspersed with an 8/9. Now, 7 might not seem high to the inexperienced flaker, but believe me, it takes it's Eckhart toll so bad when there's never any let up. Human Bean's aren't designed to flake for so long. We're built to have a flake, then rest and repair, but I've forgot how to do that. Eventually, chronic 7s turn into the flakeometer not even being able to detect the level of flakeage, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone, sadly, it's my reality. This is what that song is about. I've uploaded it on a dark, waning crescent moon. What a fool I am. 'A wise fools game, it's always the same.' Only Jude the Obscure once tried something along these lines. It's such a dodgy move. it was always gonna be this way though. Bugman saw it written in the Borage tea leaves. I never learn. One day I will, I just hope it won't be too late by then. 'The flakeometer, is out of range.'

it could have been all sooo different. just got to stick with the BA (Banter anonymous) sessions and it'll be ok...

I don't even really have the words any more. Only that I spent an eternity in Fergie time and that I might be there for some considerable time but now it might not even be Fergie time, might be a failed Panenka time. I'm Jude the Obscure. What happened to Erkembode? What happened to..... What happened to all the soundcloud heroes? Had to get jobs?

thanks Tony. Fisherman Grey misses you bruv. 'There's a ham in my shoe... let's eat it.' I guess that's the only really true statement there is in the world really. RIP Barney Sayles. This story couldn't have happened without you. Bloody miss you too.

My friends, Orange Peanut and the Petrol Powered Poo Hoovers, (http://www.reverbnation.com/orangepeanutandthepetrolpoweredpoohoovers) this song is dedicated to you. 'This goes out to Clayton (my main man), and the OPPPPR (i mean H). OPPPPH have broke on through to the other side. They defy the laws of gravity. No matter how hard Alnico tries, he just can't take the laughing cider unquaffed from Winkleigh to Hatherleigh. They have the flippin Llamas close on their tails but I believe, as i'm sure they do, that they will one day activate the shrine of the Orange Peanut... It was a pleasure to serve them in Asda. 

Nature And Nurture

I would like to dedicate this song to Taman Shud and their blend of Blackened Psychedelic Motorcycle Punk. https://soundcloud.com/tamanshuddd
They are flippin awesome. I have entered a similar mindset here but with a rented bicycle instead of a motorbike. 

Alnico Dharma

I'd like to dedicate this song to my brother Greybags: https://soundcloud.com/greybags  He made this all possible. He wasn't too keen on the idea at all. He's a wholesome and respectable gentleman, but he indulged me enough to get something done. It's not perfect. But it's something. It's out of the system. Thank god, because to have all of this inside you gives you knots in your stomach and adrenaline squirting out your ass like Krakatoa. My friend Ade Renoar's, aka The Dreamy Decoy's, https://soundcloud.com/dreamy-decoy  head exploded once like Krakatoa. It wasn't a pretty sight.

Bugman and greybagz got the band back together. Outsider, alternative punk straight out of Croydon, South London. The flakeometer reading is 'out of range' and to make sense of that, this song must be sung.

In the summer of 2020, Louis Theroux travelled deep south to visit Greybags during the height of the musician's isolation. This song documents some of the highs and lows of Theroux's trip.
