Who does not want to be The Ramones? From their album Mondo Bizarro. We just did this as drums and guitar with a couple of run throughs before recording. 

i won't let it happen

We are fearless as you can see. Covering a track off "Kid A" by Radiohead. But hey, we like a challenge. It took a long time to for us to find any kind of groove for this. Maybe we just can't channel Thom Yorke. There are overdubs on this - the basic track seemed a bit bare. 

optimistic

A little know classic song by Roxy Music bandmates Eno and Phil Manzanera. Great lyrics and a melody pinched from Pachelbel's Canon in D. The Farm pinched that as well. Just a guitar and drums treatment here after a few rehearsals. I think Biffers (on drums) was a bit tetchy. 

big day

This is a song by American  band The Dandy Warhols. A bad tempered start to this session. The band split up and reformed three times in the space of half an hour. Mr. C guests on vocals and keyboards once he has sorted out his "artistic differences" with Biffers on drums. Keith Richards was obviously the inspiration for the original song. 

bohemian like you

We play music for the fun of playing. We try to record a song in no more than 30 minutes. Just to capture the moment. We like guest singers and musicians. We also like suggestions of songs to cover. obtexo-sotano@yahoo.co.uk Vamos!
