Thanks for the comments on "End of Days" Helen, it started out on my part as an exercise in silliness but Jane turned it into something a lot better. And thanks for the heads up on Bat For Lashes, they hadn't crossed my radar before but just had a very enjoyable utube session to put that right :)

Quart of Pig's Blood.... Live!

I'll upload the entire video I've got of the games to Dropbox, and will send you a link. I may pick out a few of the gems, and post those to YouTube too.

I've also got a video of the recording of the "real" version of the song that I'll upload to YT.

That was a seriously fun night...

I've got about 25 minutes of song game video. And good news -- it looks like I've got the Pig's Blood song! I'll try to get things edited and up on the web shortly (way too much to do, though!). Would you like the original files? If so, I'll put them onto Dropbox, and will send you the link.

Helen - I made myself exist on 50/90 so whenever you get the chance I would love to be associated with our pig's blood song (version2) from yesterday.

Hi Helen, thanks a lot for your email! Concerning the podcast, I would look very forward to it! However, I am only a lyricist and just play a minor role in regard of this... Maybe you should ask my collaborators (who did the major part of the work) if you haven`t already done it yet...
kind regards,
Arthur

Hi Helen, I noticed that you might be playing in Edinburgh some time. Let me know when that is and I'll come and see you -it's just an hour down the road from home.

“So you want a saviour rather than a sidekick?”
Oh, good one!! Sounds like a great line for a song, too...

Hi Helen, et bon voyage!
Thanks for cluing me in to your plan change (I still had you ever so lightly in pencil on my calendar). And I was going to add "novel" to your thread listing what Helen should bring with, so I'm glad to hear it's already on board. And I've just looked a second ago and see #50 is up!! Congrat's, and now if you'll excuse me, I have some reading to do. ;) Safe travels. :)

Hi Helen! Skinny idiot from Thanet weighing in unnecessarily. Your stuff on here's damn good. How're you?

Hi Helen, thanks for commenting on The Good Life, well it was certainly written at breakneck speed. I'm thinking slightly punky or at least new wave.

Hi! After our chat on Sunday I *did* write a song called "Coffee and Cold Sausages": http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/9593

And there I was hoping it sounded like a country song...
LOL, I don't seem to get away from good old musicals :)

Hi Helen, glad to meet'cha, yea, I only write lyrics, generally to a country tune in my head, but they could be anything else too. whatever you think!

You can check out my page if you want or give me a subject and I'll try and write about it, I hope to have time to write some more in a few days......Geneva

Thanks for the guitar on First Swallow Down. I've just come back from a week away, and it was lovely to come home to!

would you be interested in putting music to this. I had you in my head when I was writing the all-caps bits, in truth...

Hmmm, maybe if we wore Moldova's hats we'd have a chance at Eurovision. :p

Thanks for your comments! :)

well if it's long enough to get off the plane and outside the security barriers and back in again to reboard, I could come down for a quick photo op, and perhaps we could perform a little collab for the ticket agents? think about it, if you've got a couple hours or so layover.

barbara

Yes, crap, it is too bloody big. I'm way over in GA. I've studied your itinerary back during the FAWM forums, and it didn't look like a match, but do holler if you swing into the area, I would love to meet you! We have an awesome brew pub nearby!

Muchas gracias, Helen! Good to feel your presence here, and especially to have you leave a lovely comment like that. :)

On another topic, granted I'm a slow reader but not THAT slow...any chance you'll resume the story of the pendant this summer? I understand you're probably extremely busy, so pardon my peskiness, but just so you know, the drips and drabs are eagerly lapped up! I really enjoyed it thus far!!

Helen, I'm waiting for the song from your phone from Monday..
I've written the bones of one called "rhyming dictionary" with inspired lines like "the moon on a spoon in the month of june" but alas it isn't finished yet!

We are DEFINITELY using that musical ruler. Can we do a song mainly using that? Is that even possible?

the dust collector

45 weeks 3 days ago

Sounds good to me. What instruments do you pack again?

the dust collector

45 weeks 3 days ago

I'm up for whatever! D'ywanna write it or music it?

auditasum

45 weeks 4 days ago

Thank you ever-so-much for your comments. :) I hope to hear some songs from you in the future.

the dust collector

HELLO Helen! Thank you :). Probably is a good thing, since oh-so-many-years-ago we never managed to collab that time and maybe probably THIS time the stars might align and good things might- just- happen?
