OK, so the production is cheesily naive, and my singing is terrible (did this track years ago) - but I had fun.. It's a song about not being able to find PSD image files on company servers. A song that needed writing, surely..?

(Babe You're Just A) Lo - Res Jpeg - MP3 (09 Version)

Another splurge of ideas not very well executed. Anyone know a decent producer ... and a full orchestra?

See You Vocal Version

Hot divas Dot and Maureen are back with their groove-disco-dance sensation!  Can the girls get their man, make vacuum cleaners sexy, change the world of pop and be back in time for a cup of tea and a custard cream?

I Don't Wanna Be (A Dirty Girl No More)

Part one of the 'briefs' project, where a musical friend and I instruct each other to write a song every month. I'm known for admittedly 'overloaded' arrangements (all the synths!) so I tried to strip this idea right down to the bones.
The brief was "In the background" - so I came up with this song about the beginning of the universe and the cosmic microwave backround radiation which, from that time, still surrounds us.

Background Radiation

Part two of the 'briefs' project where musical chum Jem and I give each other some monthly motivation to create music. My brief was to write a song about new beginnings - with the musical challenge of altering the tempo at some point (or at multiple points!)
My brief to him was the subject 'I feel completely generic', with the challenge to write it in a 3/4 time signature... you can hear it here...

New Beginnings

This is part 3 of the briefs project with musical chum Jem Clark (https://www.reverbnation.com/nowvertical/song/28620185-2017-nowvertical-tardigrade)where we give each other a song-writing task each month. This months brief to me was the subject 'brandy for breakfast) and the musical challenge was to avoid using piano (tricky for me since I write on the piano - so 'tried' to play guitar for this one - not my forte!)

Brandy for Breakfast

Here's number 4 of the 'Briefs Project' with Jem Clark (see link to his).
This time I was asked to write a song whose chorus came first, with the subject 'sesquipedalian episiscopalian' (!!). Feel free to Google that! I didn't use those words in the song, but they inspired the idea...
Here's Jem's:

Sesquipedalian Episcopalian

From the Briefs Project in which Jem Clark and I brief each other every month to write and produce a song with a subject matter and musical challenge. This time my instruction was to write about... well, let's just say if you understand the lyrics, you'll know... The challenge was to find the darker side of my songwriting. I'm a bit of a cheery old pop tart, so this was tricky. I hope there's a little shadow here, at least...

My Devil My Angel

I'm cross about living in a flat. I don't like it. I don't like neighbours. I want a detached house. I can't afford one. More crossness.. 
My response to the "Briefs Project" with Jem Clark.
Required theme: Not living in a detached house
Musical challenge: Not 1980s sounding.

Not Detached

This is Jules' and Ian's tribute to Al Stewart's wonderful 70s hit. Al Stewart's management kindly permitted us to share our version. So... genre-wise how would I describe it?
How about Electronic Epic Cheese?


YEAR OF THE CAT

A little love song to the sat nav. A little out of date now - we all use our phones these days!
