🤳 Unashamed self promotion - ok or not?

[OzSaintDave]

Stay connected Lou, this is Rock n Roll!!!

[PhilippineSaint]

Back to type

@pap & @saintbletch are tag teaming @coxford_lou ?

[BTripz]

Think @coxford_lou knows me too well, I’d love to learn the drums or the guitar.

Surely the bassist has the easiest job in a group, 3 chords, 4 strings that’s all.

Some people have recently said I look like Roger Waters…which has pissed my off a bit as he is at least 15 years older than me.* However I am available as a bassist if you can stump up the airfare for a short tour**

Looking the part shouldn’t be a problem for me…playing bass might be though.

*OK maybe 5.

**between home games (I have a season ticket)

[PhilippineSaint]

Not if you come from Portsmouth and Skate is out of season it wouldn’t

We’ve had something of a crisis in my band. One of our members keeps leaving on a Friday night, and we are now auditioning for someone else.

Before anyone asks, I haven’t been involved in any of the friction, but I am aware of some of the complaints. Exit #1 was all over Bad Moon Rising. Our recently departed member (he may be back, we just don’t know) _insists _it’s a wedding song, not a pub song.

Here are the lyrics for that song. I think you’d only ever play it at a wedding if you hated the bride and groom.

I see a bad moon rising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin’.
I see bad times today.

Don’t go around tonight,
Well it’s bound to take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.

I hear hurricanes a blowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

Well don’t go around tonight,
Well it’s bound to take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.

Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we’re in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.

Well don’t go around tonight,
Well it’s bound to take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.

Don’t come around tonight,
Well it’s bound to take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.

Fucking bongos, as an after thought!..

And to think, I could have been someone…and now it’s, ‘oh look, here comes fucking bongo boy’.

[BTripz]

I think she’s worried about the effect all the Top Deck has had on your musical abilities…

[Coxford_lou]

One of the greatest songs of the 20th century, relegated to a debate over whether it’s a pub song or a wedding song? Oh my lord.

[Coxford_lou]

I don’t know why - I can just picture you playing bongos and shimmying a bit to the beat.

[Coxford_lou]

Definitely see you on drums, BBB. It’s your destiny - do it!

[BTripz]

It’s this that’s done it isn’t it

[Cobham-Saint]

I’ll look after the finances, gate receipts, merchandise income royalties and advances etc

It’ll all be safe with me. Honest.

[Map-Of-Tasmania]

What is a band with a vicious split… I think i know just the man for guitar, and songwriting to cause disharmany and the evential split… i’ll bring my Rickenbackers…

[Map-Of-Tasmania]

[Fowllyd]

You forgot the bit about pap singing it.

[Goatboy]

At least you’ve got something to bang. I’m just pouring drinks and supplying acid.

I’m not sure I’m cut out for “A song of self discovery and overcoming adversity” anyway.

I’m much more “self loathing and nihilism”.

[Map-Of-Tasmania]

Ferret and Pap consider Brexit

John Fogarty, CCR’s main songwriter, is possibly the most shat upon mush in music.

The saddest story in rock

[Map-Of-Tasmania]

OzSaint Dave… DavidStHubbins? I think we should be told

I see Pap more as Artie Fufkin
