Love this - Edwyn on fine form! I know he'd be appalled at the slightest possibility that this could be considered an electioneering anthem for the Bullingdon Boys... but hang on "now I'm payin' a heavy price" does ring true, and the 50 shades of blue could be all the colour of all the people queuing for food banks cos their zero-hours contracts don't pay the bills. Maybe you've got something
@BarneyRubble It is a wonderful jaunty upbeat song with a certain sadness which I've loved for a long time....The connection with the Tories is just a bit of fantasy fun...but .. '6 months in arrears'....oh dear.....
@Avante Election Day here tomorrow...It's very close...there probably won't be a definate winner...but I fear we'll still be being whipped by Cameron-Grey for the next 5 years ...Ouch!
@philipnareike Yes... I've been listeing to some pods about it. Other than that it's been very quiet in the news.. Not sure why.. We heard more about the Scottish election than this. Strange. Personally I think a change would do you good.. But what do I know about english politics...? 4-3 :D
@Avante It will probably be another coalition...a hung parliament....a minority government.....can we have a Swedish PM please? Send one over pronto! :)
@philipnareike I have to be honest, it's rare when I hear something that I don't know or is a rip off...you got it! What frigging cool song! And I am a picky bitch! Good on you!
@philipnareike I agree thx for the turn on:) I sadly gave up my vinyl after dragging it coast to coast - ie several moves from Cali to East coast and back - I just had to make the the hard choice that I couldn't keep them up...but back in the day:) It's just like a musician that chooses (like me ex) to NOT give up on tube amps, even when that amp lights up on fire on stage - that's a good story right @debutch -gosh, if I didn't have to work....another story for another day:)'
@philipnareike A great "What if" idea Phil! ( also, an excellent jam too....does that matter? ;-) ) Anyway, as for politics / elections, I'm saying NOTHING!!!....Quickest way for jammers to forget their love & fall out with each other!.......and the Monster Raving Looney Party COULD make a fine Government, anyway!! :-)
@lindatee Thanks Linda...it's a great song... I've formed a band with @Avante ....our sound goes:
'bong bong bong - skreeeeech....bong bong bong - skreeeeeech... ' ...I think we need another musician to join us..
It's all getting hyper up here in Scotland where it looks like being a landslide for the SNP... I'd quite like to be in your band to lighten the political mood. I'm a fine whistler... I could even play the spoons. Would that be any good?
@AlicejustMay can you do the whistling as I may need both your hands to help with the solo on the Chapman Stick,in whatever tunes make it into our set!
@AlicejustMay Mick Karn ( bass player in Japan) had a hand in its invention, it is a crazy thing and I wish I had the dexterity ( and hands as opposed to paws) to play it!

The picture is a 'doctored' poster for 'It Follows' which amused me...I managed to take a photo of it before it was removed...

It's a shame Sadie isn't in the cabinet anymore.....I voted for her a few years ago.
BeeBee
F.y.i she had that Blunkett bloke on the other end of her lead!
philipnareike
@BeeBee Ah...Dear Sadie...I remember her......so caring...

philipnareike
@debutch I think you could be right....we shouldn't get TOO political around here
BeeBee
@philipnareike @Avante I can add a "woof" to your "bong,bong,bong....skreeeeeeech" if you'd like
philipnareike
@BeeBee Yes! Can you play tamberine too?
philipnareike
@BeeBee Maracas?
BeeBee
I can either "Woof" or play my Chapman Stick : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a7kIclA4yq4
philipnareike
@BeeBee Yes! Just what we need ...a proper musician! You're in!

@AlicejustMay can you do the whistling as I may need both your hands to help with the solo on the Chapman Stick,in whatever tunes make it into our set!
AlicejustMay
@BeeBee First time I've heard of Chapman stick and it looks way cool!

Avante
@philipnareike @BeeBee I'm all for it! A cute dog always wins the day and some fans. :)
Avante
@philipnareike ahhh... Swedish politics is a mess too.. Since we got this ukip-like party voted in. We're a mess. 🙈🙉🙊
BeeBee
@AlicejustMay Mick Karn ( bass player in Japan) had a hand in its invention, it is a crazy thing and I wish I had the dexterity ( and hands as opposed to paws) to play it!
BeeBee
So it's @AlicejustMay @philipnareike @Avante and me in the band....I feel an Abba -esque band image coming on!
philipnareike
@BeeBee JAMABBA !!
AlicejustMay
@BeeBee I like the idea that Mick Karn 'had a hand' in it... do you suppose it's still there? :)
BeeBee
@AlicejustMay Ha!Ha! ha!
BeeBee
@philipnareike oh that's us!,that's us!
philipnareike
