Also playing with a pink midget

Along with catchup (see below) I'm also playing The Midget the Speck and the Molecule. The latest by the Swirling Eddies.


Around 4 years ago I paid for it, and it arrived in the weekend.

WHAT! four years ago you say?

Yeah around four years ago.

Gather 'round children, the tale, it goes like this....

The Swirling Eddies are one of the many bands by Terry Scott Taylor. Except he calls himself Camarillo Eddie in this one. Back in the '90's they brought out some awesome albums. They made me laugh, think and wince. However as with all brilliant and creative artists the conservatives Christian record companies didn't like the fact they didn't have a JPM (Jesus Per Minute) Ratio of 1 or greater. In fact it might have been .000001. And they also did stuff like saying the televangelist who takes your money as "pledge of faith" are actually sinners who worship money not God.

Short story they are not given cheques to produce albums.

Four years ago in an attempt to get things going a pre-order request was made. In this, what would happen is the fans would pay money in advance for the album. When they had enough money from pre-orders they would fly the band members in, book a studio, write, record, order in pizza etc... Then get the artwork done and have it all manufactured, packaged and posted out.

This was all completed last year, what with not as much money coming in as was needed, gall Bladder removals and other things.

At the time of delivery the offer was also made that a few of the members are in the same town does anyone want their copy autographed.

I said yes.

Then Terry moved house.

Then he found the CD in the packing signed and sent them back. Mine was posted.

It got lost in the mail between here and the USA.

In January another was sent out - not autographed but that is OK.

It didn't get here. So just over a week ago another was sent out.

Then the second one arrived on the weekend.

Yeah!

Told the people doing the sending about the extra and was told for my troubles keep the extra one that will turn up.

So I have been listening and really enjoying the latest from the Eddies in 10 year. Burger Roy Al. Just rocks in this one.
