Re: Music
It'd probably be easier just to all play in time, one by one... hence start with a drum track. The hard part would be arranging it. One person could write an arrangement and we could each play a part or we could have a free for all and then edit it down. We need Phil Reynolds on board for this!

Re: Music
Cool. Might be tough to coordinate... would be fun though. Just heard a beady eye b-side, world outside my room. It's alright. Very lennon like alright, which isn't much surprise. Maybe the voice thing is just that he's finally not shouting and deliberately snarling up the menace in his voice?

As Michael has enquired as to our waking habits, I'm interested to know what time people crash out at. Feel free to add reasoning if you like. I'm a 2 to 3am man usually, although it varies pretty wildly and I'm trying to make a better effort to get to sleep earlier.
