I reckon we should join forces to write a musical about origami......all together now..."Crease is the word!!"

(it'd probably fold after a few weeks though )

a near-dead ivor cutler sample in a kitchen cynics christmas song, would be priceless (maybe)

but you might want to run the year backwards, and get death out of the way first?

[Alan Cynic]

Thanks, Sam and Steven!!

Sam....it'd be great to have you on board for a song. I might write another Dan Treacy tribute song! (I did one years ago called "I know where Dan Treacy used to stay").

Steven...d'you fancy joining in for a song too?

[Steven Milne]

Count me in for a subscription!

Sounds ace, if not a wee bit knackering!!

Incidently, Kurt Wagner of Lambchop attempted the same thing a few years back (don't think he had dry rot, though!) -

"The origins of this concept," explains Kurt, "are rooted in the idea of writing a song per day over extended periods of time that varied from weeks at a time to months in succession. This lasted from the summer of 2002 through the winter of 2003. My idea was to simply sit down and write one complete song each day. This sounded easier than it turned out to be, but the process allowed for the opportunity to make certain creative decisions quickly and decisively, thereby keeping things fresh and, for the most part, short. It was one of the most enjoyable creative periods of my life. For the first time I had the freedom of uninterrupted time to try this. Some days things happened very quickly, and some days they moved incredibly slowly. I found the best results formed themselves quickly, and rarely was I able to come back to ideas at a latter date and have any success in changing or refining them. By April 2003 I ended up with a butt load of material, of which a small percentage is represented on these two records."

Steven...haven't seen the brochure yet, but I'll get one tomorrow at some point...I'm sure it'll be fine, and thanks again for doing it!!!!

french_disko....Thanks for that quote! I'm in total agreement with Kurt's bit about keeping things short and fresh. I don't usually 'fine-tune' songs for ages, just bash 'em out and hope they're OK!!

Add me to the subscriptions list, I'll gladly give you the money.
