Another Cover - Time is Running Out - Muse

Hi all!

Time for my stuff. I've done another joint cover with a friend of mine.

This track by Muse is one of my favourites, and I don't like Muse at all really. I'm not sure what it is about them. I think it's the number of effects they use to cover the fact that their songs appear to be amazingly simple.

Don't even ask me about their new album. I hate it with a passion. There are no redeeming features at all other than the individual songs are only a few minutes long. At least with their original stuff I can stand it long enough to listen to it or learn how to play it.

Anyhew without further ado, here it is:



Thanks for listening

6 Bearded Fish

Hi all,

In 2002 a group of musicians were applauded from the stage for an event that went well. These men promptly escaped wailing fans to the Hampshire underground. Today, still wanted by weddings, corporate parties (but oddly not Bar Mitzvahs....yet), they survive as musicians of fortune. If you have an event, and no-one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the 6 Bearded Fish.

They are a really tight 4 piece functions band. I first came across them sort of by mistake at another gig, they very rarely come out and play a public set.

They say they don't have gills, and they say their aren't 6 of them – and that's mostly true. Their set list is immense and can pretty much play anything. I've met most of them and they are either professional musicians or teachers or both, or have a background in performance art or have just ridiculous amounts of experience and it really comes through. If you are looking to be blown away by a great gig, with technically brilliant people either hire them or try to see them live.

Bob Dylan Gets the Presidential Medal of Freedom

Hi All,

I'm not an American, so I haven't got a clue what the Presidential Medal of Freedom actually is - other than its the highest civilian award you can get. I'm guessing it's because you don't have a Monarch or something so you guys can't have "real" awards. 

Haven't we all got freedom already? If you have the Medal of Freedom do you get to go on a plane with over 100ml of fluid? Can you bring as much Canadian porn across the border as you like?


Anyway, 71 year old Bob Dylan has now got one for his "considerable influence on the civil rights movement in the 1960s" and for his "significant impact on American culture over the past five decades".

Those dates don't really add up do they? Did he take a decade off or something?

I digress, as Bob got an award, I thought I'd make everyone's day by doing a cover of a cover, which is the best way of doing things, so here it is
