Spam Town

This is the first week when it all came together and we realised that we had something good we could work on and take somewhere. It was a total departure for me to be doing something this tuneful but after all the years of experimental madness or just madness, it was nice to do something different. I present on 29.3.88 - Paul Moller - guitar, vocals, Trevor Simpson - guitar, Mr. Rudeforth - tapes, radio, Gary Burroughs - snare drum. We were always conscious of the noise and towards the end I think one of the neighbours comes to complain but we manage to knock another tune out regardless. The big problem for me is that I was not really a singer but there was no-one else so I had to do it. I didn't think that I could sing and still don't, it's more like trying to intone in time. I love Hank Williams and we wanted to do a version of his Lonesome Whistle but I couldn't sing it, we played it a few times and eventually gave up and dropped it but not without a struggle as you can hear!
