While I'm certain there are those who may be growing weary of scratching, I couldn't resist posting this great mix by Alister Flint, who is truly a master mixologist extraordinaire - he didn't even have individual tracks to work with! Al was too…

Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
It was a curious and wondrous thing.
One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…

Aw, we tried to make this a bit more pro, but sometimes the really fun moments in life are fleeting. So here it is warts and all. But don't mind that - just get out onto the dance floor with Reg! It's ok: he's up to date on his shots.
When…

A bit of improv done yesterday with my newly refurbished fretless guitar. Finally got the midi pickup to track almost right! Part of the sounds were gotten by rubbing a teaspoon on the strings.
Didnt mean to have a political slant but had just got denied my large order soft drink in Manhattan.
All thats left are the small sodas with the "NY loves big cans" tee shirts
This is a collab song with MTC. I almost hated adding anything to it cuz the first track he sent me was kickass vintage Jim. It totally changed flavors in the collab process, but still one of my favs
This is the third, maybe forth time I recorded this tune.
I like this one best.

they came from across the sea
always moving closer
my eyes could see
then they called in the calvary

I've been messing and listening to a lot of Tom Waites i suppose his influence has rubbed of a bit ...well a little anyway...........
I want the love (Lyrics)
Crawling in the gutter trying to stand with phone
To tell you that I love you…
Another with the £16 special.............
My baby, she don't want me (Lyrics)
My baby, she don't want me,
i don't know what to do
i need her,
i believed her
she was hollow and untrue
My baby, she don't want me,
i don't know what to do
i need…
Another with the £16 special.......We know he isn't really i mean he's here with me now in the cellar............
HE’S GONE (lYRICS)
IT WAS A CARELESS LOVE THAT TOOK HIM AWAY
OF COURSE THERE WAS NEVER GONNA BE THE RIGHT KINDA DAY
TO SAY GOODBYE…
Reg went out last night to a bonfire party....Man does he meet some strange women...........so he got his £16 special down from the wall and penned this little ditty in rememberence...........

I did the guitar and bass tracks first, then procured my 10 year olds cello for the main bass line :) I also tried my luck playing cello with a bow on this track- which was a new experience.
The trumpet and violin bits are played…

I had the pleasure of hearing an alternative version of this song. One where the green fairy exploded. It was good. Norm agrees that a) both versions are awesome, and that b) bottle rockets are good. ~Eloise

A well deserved tribute, and some great beats here, bro! Right on!
Sweet beats and a great tribute!

Norm, I love it. This is all new to me and I'm digging this venue. We'll have to do a song together.
Great beats as always Norm. You can bet I'll be using this. Has anyone done a "Stone Age" playlist yet with all these tributes? hmmm
Beautiful Norm. There will be some great collaborations with this piece for sure! RIP JS
Nice mellow track bro. tempo and beats are right on the money.
Lovely.
That's a beauty Norm! Great stuff!
Performed in whispers. Beautifully and tastefully done Norm.
How cool man we both did a toast to the Stone Age and didn't even know it!! Sweet to hear some new beats from you.
One of your more mellow jams....Rest in peace Johnny.

Menacing!
I wish I had been there. With Kirk. First round's on me. Send a double up to the guitar player.
Very clever Reg. I agree.
...a match made in heaven.
Pssst. Hey buddy. Over here. I can hook you up with a 32oz Mountain Dew...
Totally pro.
Go Team!
HOLD THE PHONE!! This is unusually excellent. I really enjoyed this one, on all levels. And listen to your sister... up just a bit with the vocals.
One of your tightest yet!
Yes, this was Dan's best album.
Ok. Now, finally, it is clear who I must vote for.
Ha! fun video. Did you use any effects on that?
"This video is private". Now I REALLY want to see it...
That IS an awesome gong clip.
This smacks of Desiree. Get over it Reg!
@David: Haha! You mean this is not in regard to Michael Jackson??
Far out indeed. Nice work.
did it hurt so good?
What the hell??!!?? Where are the bottle rockets? (Enjoying Absinthe as I write this)
