Check out the quasi-reggae breakdown right in the middle. The chorus is in 7/8 with the exception of the last measure, which is 8/8. Mike does the backup vox.
Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.

Two-part tune. The first part is "Untitled," and the second part (based on the last bit of "Untitled") is "Sugar." We went for the slow version for the record. We also play "Punk Sugar" and have messed around with "Country Sugar" and "Reggae…

I know, you think I've completely lost it. This is actually a cover tune. Originally done by Wall of Voodoo around 1979. I did it from memory and ear, so I'm not sure if I got the notes or the Key right. It don't matter though, It was fun.

I was only thinking of this film the other day,spooky.Cracking good version and thanks for commenting on "The Sidecar Saga".It's good to break your duck,both ways,so to speak.Oh, that's a cricketing term which means to get your first run.
A friend of Gochii's laughed at the fact he didn't use paper and pencil to write his songs and that his method of storing his rhymes and was risky. Gochii response simply was my mind is a computer.

I didn't write the songs, Greg did (expand the song notes on any song, you'll see I gave him the credit, and I did ask Greg if it was OK to post the songs). I did write guitar parts, arrangements, etc., but Greg was the writer. I sadly can't write lyrics...

Great memories....I miss the Hollowmen!
You displayed a huge amount of talent all those years ago.
Greg's voice was/is so Paul McCartney. I always enjoyed listening to him sing.
I had no idea you had written all these songs. Do you believe you may write songs with lyrics again?

This is a pretty simple tune. Its been sitting around for a while because I kept thinking that I was going to add more to it or change it up a bit. That never happened, so here it is. Any suggestions or comments appreciated. :)
I have played all your tracks this morning and enjoyed them muchly. It is interesting how your material has developed over time to find it's direction and to become artistically very clever, full of textures and a great pleasure to listen to.
I believe it began here, and this is my favourite track.
