David Icke links to one of my Spider-Man vids!

The ickester has linked to one of my read along movies from his news blog! The movie, Invasion of the Dragon Men obviously has interesting 'Reptillian Agenda' overtones...






Check out the movie for yourself here!

Seasons Greetings to one and all!

Many Thanks to Karl for getting the ball rolling with Colne Valley Chaos Christmas - it's been great fun for all the CVC heads to get together on this project -- what's next? Watch this space! ;-)

Colne Valley Chaos Christmas is Released!


Ladies and Gentlemen, after 17 days of sterling work Colne Valley Chaos Christmas is complete!

There are two versions available - the Internet distribution version (in MP3 format) and the CD version. You can download the Internet version here:


The files for the CD version are on the FTP server. File names have been numbered so your CD burning software will recognise which order the tunes go in. All files have been standardised to CD quality WAV or AIFF files. The cover for the CD is in the folder "cover" (naturally enough) for those of you with FTP access.

I'll be burning a dozen or so tomorrow for distribution to friends of CVC on Christmas Eve. Please feel free to make your own CDs for friends, family, enemies, people you pass in the street, postal workers and so on.

Everyone deserves a big fat slap on the back. This has been an ace project. For me, this is what this blog was conceived as - a supportive environment for us to collaborate and share our crappy music. Hurrah for Colne Valley Chaos!

www.koretex.net - BETA v.1 up & running!


Hey all, hope your all good, sounds like the CVC xmas album is well on its way to being incarnated for absorption by the masses (those lucky souls won't know what hit em)! Can't wait! Been busy as hell getting my new musical project ready for release in the new year, but the anticipation was killing me; as such as I have just registered the associated domain yesterday & managed to get a preliminary beta version of the experimental sonic engine up & running, I thought I'd invite you to take a peek! Enjoy & looking forward to seeing you all in the Sair on Xmas eve - let the festive madness begin! Naaayyyyy!

Folds



Sorry to break up the Christmas party! I wanted to notify you all that I've completed the track that was called 'Delivery' - you know, the slow violin an clarinet piece? Well, it's changed, gone of on a tangent and it's now called 'Folds'. This will be the signiature track for my next album which probably won't surface for another year or so!

Any-hoo enjoy listening to Folds

Colne Valley Christmas

Hey dudes. I've had an ace idea. Was just listening to Sufjan Stevens Christmas boxset - and I thought why can't I do that. I'll record a CD full of Chrimbo songs in ANLB stylee!

THEN I HAD AN EVEN BETTER IDEA!

Instead of me doing everything, why don't we all make a Christmas album! Yay! What an ace wheeze. Really.

So here's the jist of what I think we should do:

Everyone in the Chaos Crew, whoever they may be, pulls their thumb out of their arse and records TWO special Christmas songs and submits them to the blog (or to me or Foggy) by December 20th. Yep DECEMBER 20th 2006. The song can be an all new original composition or a traditional chrimbo song done chaos style. BTW - if you're going to do a "standard", please let everyone know before you start. We don't want half a dozen versions of "Jingle Bells".

Then, when everything is in I'll do a CD cover, sequence the tracks and make the compilation available for download from here in time for Christmas day and Christmas Eve distribution.

Who's up for it?

Colne Valley Chaos 6


The time has come for a new volume of Colne Valley Chaos - There's plenty of new material available to make a new comp, it should be interesting to get this material together and see how it compliments each other. So I'm putting out this message to all CVC heads to think about getting me some WAV files so I can start compiling. Meet me in the comments section of this post to discuss which tracks we should / could use.

Tribal Mutations (adventures in the world of Bens Roland SRV-330)


Hey all, finally been released from the grip of political trauma & despair & horror at that Chav ridden hellhole in Uxbridge they call Brunel (Thank Fuck) looking forward to being a full time student again in rainy Yorkshire (slaver, whimper paw paw)! Some decaying rock dude (Bill Wynam) is hitting my village today to turn on the xmas lights, going to go and put him off by nayying at him loudly in a drunken stupor with Princess Lea Lea! Anyway in order to pay homage to Ben's Birthday & memory, I recently rescued his old dusty reverb unit from fog’s Den of inequity & lovingly cleaned her up inside & out; and as I promised Fotswana I have recorded a short song using the aforementioned, so happy Birthday Benjamin, give Nina a hug from me & this one is for you!

Happy Birthday Ben

Well, today is my late brother's birthday and I don't have any new music of his to post so I've posted this clip from one of our favourite childhood films 'Way of the Dragon' (aka 'Return of the Dragon' in the US). This film had such an effect on me that when I went to Rome and visited the Collliseum all I could think was this was so cool 'cos this is where Bruce and Chuck had their epic battle (even though the actual fight was filmed on a set!). Similarly when I was in the main piazza in Venice I was picturing Roger Moore on that daft hovercraft car from Moonraker! There is some footage somewhere of me and Ben re-enacting this classic fight but I don't have the tape, it may be at Kipz' place, if I find it i'll post it on the blog.


I found the following video on Google recently that Spiney had posted featuring a track he and Ben had been involved in and he included the following tribute...

from the murky spiney history a piece done by the late ben phillips on ry30 , me on guitar its become a bit of a lump in my throat , but anyway its here for posterity , if a better copy should surface I will replace it , for all his faults BEN was one of the most naturally talented , & I still miss his hyper creativity & cheekiness , along with so many others I think I always will ...so wherever u are ben , they say you never die as long as someone remembers ....

Delivery - (working title)


I was chatting with Jussy the Kat (Naaaaay-y-y!) the other day via webcam, and I played him the beginning of a track I've been working on. I mentioned the I was a bit stuck with it and he suggested posting it on here.

The thing is - I want it to eventually be about 30 mins long, a kind of background affair, but I'm tempted to split from it's current vibe and go a bit silly. The better part of me thinks not. Maybe I'm just getting bored or too spaced out with the whole thing, especially with my laborious way of making music... Any suggestions welcome.

Listen to Delivery and let me know what you would do with it.

Ta.
