Sexwatch UK!

Can you believe that I get paid to blog? WELL I DO! Yep. I write a regular column about my ludicrously ill-fated relationships with women.

No really. It's all true.

Lately though, I've been becoming a little bored with it and have been wanting to make it more and more surreal...

Hence, this. "Sexwatch UK" a podcast about the sexual habits of the British. Now - I wouldn't usually post this kind of stuff up here, but this edition of the podcast has a direct link to the GWF. It features the instrumental track "Theme from a Summer Place", which was previously used to similar effect in the GWF creation "Farmyard". I actually wanted this version to end with an explosion too - but couldn't find one funny enough...

Anyway. Take a wisten:

Secret Army Supplies - Game, Set and Match

Here's a bunch of tracks that were recorded on to one side of a storybook cassette...

Can You Smell My Bell Mix 3 by Gibs
Love in a Disco by Gibs
Models of Yesteryear by Hodgie

Jase if you let me a know a title for the unknown track I think it would be nice to put it on the main site - let me know --- also I have loads of webspace (20GB) that I can let you have access to if you want to use for files, mp3s etc...

4-Tracks Revisited: Part 1

What was once several shoeboxes full of cassettes, there now lay a small bag of about twelve 4-Track master tapes on my kitchen table. I'm taking my time going through them and the whole laborious journey is revealing some things I don't even remember doing.


I have salvaged some damaged fruit from this process, given it a bit of a polish and can now present something lovely to you lucky chaos-muffins. It's a track from January 1991 entitled 'The Bridge of Principle'.

Based on an original composition written by myself with Stephen Clements (from The Deadly Toy Affair, Clock, The Pagans and Giblets and Cheese), this version has an over-dubbed vocal track on it - written and performed by Karl.

The conversion process has not been without its flaws. The track is too slow, which is the result of me having the pitch knob incorrectly turned up while recording the original back in the day! Also, I don't own a 4-track tape deck anymore so I had to sample the entire tape one side at a time then reverse one of them and sync it all up. As you can imagine, this has the very likely potential of going out of phase. Furthermore, there are a couple of occassions where the entire instrumental section drops out for a small number of seconds - don't ask why - any way, if you ever did hear this track back in 91, I hope this gives you a warm nostalgic feeling.

Listen to - The Bridge of Principle

...and watch this space for a long lost Gibs track I'm still cobbling together.
