your cover's blown

Will we end up as we started? As a cover band? I don't think so. But we are making plans for Spider James all the time. Here's one plan. We will perform again live the coming year. Yes, we will. And we need some covers in the set aswell. Just for the fun of it. So if you have any suggestions: you're welcome.
To get you guys started: here's one of my favourite band cover some of my favourite songs. Jonny Greenwood pays his respect to Johnny Marr. Thom Yorke does a fine Morrissey impersonation and makes Bernard Sumner sound like Ian Curtis. Radiohead's secret weapon? The drummer. Nice!

long was the year

Tomorrow it's one year ago I started this weblog. I'm glad I did and I'm even happier I'm keeping it going, with a little help from my friends that is. Reading back my first entry I must admit we still haven't written that particular track I was hoping for. The one to fill the gap between The Beatles' 'Tomorrow Never knows' and Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love'. That would be something. Psychedelic disco for the head and the booty. Maybe, just maybe, we will pull it off one day.

giant steps

You don't measure succes in quantity. I'm pleased, nevertheless, that we did get a lot of good work done this Saturday. It was one of those days where everybody got to do their parts: guitars, bass, rhodes and various forms of percussion. And let's not forget the amazing m-tron violins and vibraphone Boyke and WJP did last Friday.
Meanwhile Ted has dropped some material from the Spider James vaults on our mail. I find myself dreaming of album two and we haven't even finished this one. Get real, man.
