Featured Tracks from Wud Records Musical Discoveries

To celebrate two years of Musical Discoveries compilations, we are now featuring a weekly playlist and a track from that playlist on Twitter every day.  Featured tracks will appear in this playlist. The latest featured track will appear at the top.

If you would like the opportunity for some free publicity more fans, more recognition and becoming known by the ever-growing DIY independent music revolution, we follow back on SoundCloud and listen to everyone we follow on a first-in-first-out basis.

Why not come and listen to some of the fantastic music on our label? We are home to some of the best music we've ever heard. Our active bands are Flicker, Dark Company, Pok the Bard and The Bastard Sons of Dennis. We have many amazing legacy acts who have pressed the pause button on their musical endeavours and numerous awesome archive acts who were never part of our label but whose music we loved nevertheless.

Wud Records is a strong supporter of the DIY musician and a part of the ever growing community that is the indie music revolution. We aim to take back control from the corporate dinosaurs who brainwash populations with bland censored muzak written by committee in boardrooms, rather than real musicians in bedsits.

We hope to help remind people that music has value and worth and that the musicians creating it need to be paid, so they can pay the rent and electricity bill and buy bread to keep doing what they do. Long live the revolution!

Knocking On My Door (Demo)

Death Is Calling
Words by G. Washington
Music by D. D'Ambrosia

Can you hear me calling?
Do you wonder what went wrong?
That cocktail you were shooting
It was just a little too strong
Now the ceiling is melting
And the walls are bending
Spatial distortion: physical contortion

Your breathing is getting slower
Your pulse is getting weak
Your chance of Earthly future
Well,,,,,it's getting bleak
You had your chance at life
But now you made your choice
Now there's nothing left to do
Except to listen to my voice

Death is calling; He'll be your guide
There's no redemption; no place to hide
Death is calling the fallen sheep
Your soul is weary; just go to sleep

Turn your gaze away 
From the gleaming starry skies
Just hold my bony hand
And close your weary eyes
It's a shame you have to leave
With so much life ahead
But it's too late to believe
And the Master knows,,,,you are dead!!!!

Death Is Calling-- collab w/ Collecting Pool

Rusholme Ruffians

Remastered version

She wrote a Dear John letter on a John Deere tractor,
he had a habit of the hobbit that he couldn’t shake.
She married farmer Farmer Palmer, a farmer and a charmer,
John thought he was a Bilbo – big mistake.

He liked to curry favour, she likes the curry flavour,
on their best behaviour they make a meal of it.
MSG and lots of sodium, in love and in harmonium, 
random pandemonium.

Sick as a parrot, a flaccid fat flamingo,
a rotten russet fish, a big flat dingo
that’s got the cat’s whiskers, a very eager beaver,
a golden retriever, hair of the dog.

Into the thicket, on a sticky wicket,
it’s just not cricket, back to the bar.
Bigger than her belly, nothing on the telly,
feet are very smelly, put them in a jar.

She’s got bats in the belfry – you can hear her nerves jangling.
She’s had too much man-handling – she needs a bit of understanding.

Light as a feather, a floating Barbarella,
Sweet Fanny Adams on the horn of a diemma.
Fresh as a daisy, forty winks crazy,
not what you call lazy, just out for the count.

A double doubting Thomas with some used-by garlic humus
will no doubt cause a big fuss and a bit of a stink.
But better that than Larry who can’t help but dilly-dally,
you wish he wouldn’t shilly-shally then he goes on the blink.

There’s bats in the belfry – you can hear their nerves jingling.
Down the blind alley – dangling from the ceiling.

It’s all a bit cloak and dagger,
more swoon than swagger.
A bit of a blagger...
Who said that?!

‘Es a slim feller – a bit Paul Weller,
likes a portabella mushroom omelette.
Cor Blimey, it’s a bit slimey.
It’s not s’pposed to be like that – but it’s safe.


To the chattering classes he’s the talk of the masses,
chewing the fat and spilling his beans.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s, lunch at Serendipity’s, 
tea and supper at Veranda’s and snacks in-between.

There’re bats in the belfy,
we’ve all gone to Coventry
on a one way ticket
to see a man about a dog.

It’s all onwards and upwards,
no worries, luvly jubly,
would you like a drop of bubbly,
but oh,

It could have been me. It should have been me.
It could have been me. It should have been me.
It could have been me. It should have been me.

Here comes the hooker in her best bib and tucker,
arms akimbo, big girl’s blouse.
I wouldn’t want to knock it but someone’s got to stop it,
more than suspicions are aroused.

She’s a bit of a looker, a copper-bottomed pressure cooker,
a pusher not a sucker, broad in the beam.
She’s got cash in the attic but it makes her quite asthmatic,
still there’s something quite fantastic when she rubs in the cream.

‘Es a big geezer – like a Gazza in Ibizi,
tattoos on his teaser, knocking back the gin.
Fit as a fiddle, a doddle on the diddle,
you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it swim.

Alpha and omega, truth and non-believers,
achievers and mischievous, slim and fat. 
As queer as a nine bob, as friendly as a hobnob,
it’s got to be a proper job.

Not like that.
Not like that.
Not like that.
Like that.

Lyrics

Tears in my eyes once again
Torment and lies spell the end

Planets they turn, mine collide 
Look to the stars , they burned out long ago

Love is a flame but quick to burn
When satellites  fade they fall to earth

Planets they turn, mine collide 
Look to the stars , they burned out long ago

Look to the stars, they burned out long ago
Look to the stars, they burned out long ago

And you’re alone again, And you’re alone again

Look to the stars 
Look to the stars 
Look to the stars  ……

Hypnotise - Duncan Reed

Insight from MoNH, and Bronx zoo.
A steel string, nylon string, synthesizer and some percussion celebrating one of the most magnificent animals on earth. Band called Other Peoples Children.

Elephants; they eat plants.  It makes no sense why we can't advance.
Beyond the greed that dooms them, we should leave some room for the elephants.

Waterhole's a must.  When the water's all gone; dig with those tusks.  
Bring the water on.  Lots of creatures of the land depending on the elephant.

Elephants in a family.   Tusks are for defense, not for mans' vanity.  
Every piece of ivory that you buy pulls their teeth, makes em die!   

Elephants, walk on tipytoe Gentle and magnificent, mighty when they bellow.
Silently they go their way  listening for friends far away.

Face of joviality, cheeks you wannna hug. Each such personality, stifled without love.  
Here's a creature who's mighty glad for a place like earth to stomp its pad.

Other Peopl's Children

SAY-SO

i’m burning then i crumble to dust
i'm volunteering for the national trust
don’t you just sit on the shelf
when your life can be so meaningful to someone  else

don’t  just believe it on my say-so, say-so
don’t  just believe it on my say-so, say-so

dont just believe it on my say-so, say-so
dont just believe it on my say-so, say-so

now is the time to put things into use
now is the time to blow your fuse
safeguarding is the easy way out
it’s much better when the ruins stand proud

dont just believe it on my say-so, say-so
dont just believe it on my say-so, say-so

how many points to get a d-grade
this is the highest level reached today
how many points to get a d-grade 
this is the highest level reached today
           
your opinion matters 
now thank you so much
we'll see you later for the finishing touch

dont just believe it on my say-so, say-so
dont just believe it on my say-so, say-so

…

Say-So

it's not us

Whistle Kids (earworm, swampy)

My latest song creation is called "My One and Only".   The song has a line if you listen carefully that says "I missed Gorilla man; he did not miss me".  You may miss it.  I only say it once and it's kind of blurry.    

This line came into my head after I heard a story about an experiment on selective attention.  The study participants think it must be a study of concentration as they are asked to watch a film of a group of people moving and rapidly passing a ball around.  The people watching the film are asked to count how many times the people with white shirts received a pass from other folks wearing white shirts (there are other people in darker shirts also in the crowd, moving and passing a ball around).  When they are later asked how they thought they did on the test, most thought they counted the number of passes pretty accurately.  When they are asked about the Gorilla Man many said they had no recollection of a Gorilla Man and were flabbergasted when they watched a video playback that clearly showed a Gorilla Man in the video. In fact, the Gorilla Man stands plainly right smack in the middle of the video and claps for the camera.  What was even more amazing is that many people were adamant a Gorilla Man could not have been in the the first video they watched and that the playback video had to have been doctored or manipulated.    Now that I have told you the punch line, if you go and watch this on Youtube it will not be quite as interesting, however, it is a great example of selective attention.  If our mind's are even slightly concentrated or pre-occupied on a task we can lose sight of other things right smack in front of us. 

So what does this have to do with my song? I have no f@#king idea!  Ask a Psychologist.....it just may prove how crazy I am!  ....ha ha ha.     

This song has an upbeat feel and a cool "wah wah" signature sound that walks "through the center" like a Gorilla Man.  I hope you notice it ; )  Enjoy the music.

Words of Silk

WORDS OF SILK

Words Of Silk

Found myself in a black hole
Careful just what you wish for
Never knew what it'll cost me
Now I pay the price
Said that I should just let it go
But I just want more

You state the obvious
With so much confidence
You're just a natural downer

Lately I've been dragging life
To the point of demise
Never thought that it'll get me
A change is coming

I'm free of all the prejudice
I'm getting sick of this
You won't be seeing me at all
I'm free
Of what you think of me
Cause all you'll ever be
Is just a natural downer

* 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.
