4/21/2009 Noises and Sounds.
Huzzo,
Noises and Sounds.
Some people can make a convincing trumpet sound with their mouths. Some people can do a giant whistle. Russell Smith from school could belch on request and my son discovered tonight that if he sat on his rubber ducky when the bath had just run out it made the most satisfactory farting noise.really excellently gassy and damp. We both wept with laughter. Ahh, noises and sounds....
Oh. Sorry - did I say all that out loud?
I'm supposed to be telling you things.
Important Things to do with Me and touring in the 'United' 'Kingdom'. so:
In June of this year 2009 I will be doing a small and imperfectly formed UK tour of the UK.
So far these are the dates and the venues:
<b>June</b>
18th - <a href="http://www.gigantic.com/alttickets/event_ate_10262a.html">Bristol Thekla</a>
19th - <a href="www.seetickets.com">Manchester Academy</a>
20th - <a href="www.ticketmaster.co.uk">Edinburgh Reid Hall</a>
22nd - <a href="www.seetickets.com">Nottingham Rescue Rooms</a>
23rd - <a href="http://www.glee.co.uk/index.php?id_page=175&id_language=1&id_gig=6319">Birmingham Glee Club</a>
24th - <a href="http://www.glee.co.uk/index.php?id_page=175&id_language=1&id_gig=6320">Cardiff Glee Club</a>
28th - <a href="www.seetickets.com"> London Tabernacle</a>
We may add more depending on Other Things to do with Me and Releasing 'Words and Music' in the Great British United Kingdom. This will also happen in June.
Because you're worth it, I've made 4 splendid special new recordings to accompany the release featuring a few splendid and special artists singing my songs. 2 of these - new versions of 'tongue-tied' and 'brighter than sunshine' will be bonus tracks on the Uk album, the other 2 - a very dramatic reading of 'another little hole' by Duke Special and a ghostly 'Strange&Beautiful' by Foreign Slippers - will be available exclusively to people who buy a ticket for one of the uk dates. a very good deal if you ask me. Details will emerge once I've pulled my finger out (of what?) and finished mixing them.
They all sound lovely - it's most interesting hearing other vocalists singing songs you've been singing for years in your own odd way. Makes me wonder if I should always get other people to sing 'em.....
but they'd miss me in the end. I'd wake up one morning to a strange skritching and scratching at the bedroom door and there they'd be. in a bit wonky-faced pile, looking up at me all hesitant but happy and I'd open my mouth and in they'd all hop. Safe and Sound.
Oh. did I say that too.
sorry. time to go.
What are some of your favourite Noises and Sounds?
