It’s her Birthday. This is my cheap-ass present.

This song is originally by Wounded Knee, an Edinburgh Folky Acapella re-looping man. He made the song “anti fascist reel”, put it up on bandcamp the other day, and I thought I’d have a play with it. It’s my first attempt at anything like this… Be kind…

The pain-inducing distortion is intentional. Please imagine it being spoken by a beardy man with a megaphone, or a Righteous Sweary Tank Equipped with Sonic Weaponry.

If you have money, buy some of Drew (Mr Wounded Knee)’s stuff, he’s awesome.

And…. we’re back.

And I (Gordon) enjoyed it immensely. Liz has headed back to the Library now, but I’m doing some editing and blogging, and generally apologising for the fact that I went a bit manic near the end.

This week: Cadbury’s / Money for Sick Kids / Euthanasia / Comedy Competitions / Chimps / How Holiday Camps are like Prison / The Sally Army and KINDLES!!!!! (and a promise to try our damnedest to keep things regular)

I thought this one was pretty funny by the way. And listen out for the exciting edit, 32 mins in when I get back from the loo. It’s seamless.

ROCK ROCK ROCK!

Hey there, so as a result of my having an essay due, we failed to get this onto the internet until 2 weeks after record.

The things we discuss are somewhat dated now, but include discussion on whether or not the Queen is vermin, new prostitution legislation, the record of the decade and much more.

Listen out for Gordon nearly choking on a cracker at the beginning and me singing at the end. Rock and roll.

I posted this from Edinburgh’s newly re-opened Princes Street. Ain’t technology wonderful?

Work and school commitments mean we won’t be recording again for two weeks but I’m sure we’ll have some exciting stuff planned for then.

La!

After a brief hiatus the blether report is back, this time we have 2 special guests Hilary Cornish and Rachel Manners talking about DIY feminist organising in Edinburgh.

There are a few sound problems, and some slight tiredness, but it was fantastic to talk about things that are happening in Edinburgh and discuss gender related news.

It’s basically like loose women, but you know, good.. we even have a token man.

BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Liz and Gordon

p.s. Gordon would like to apologise for incessant steam-rollering, saying ‘wicked’, ‘you know’ and ‘devil’s contract’ a lot, and pouring liquids near the microphone.

P.p.s Liz promises to drink less, make fewer crude remarks about famous people she likes, and to maybe get a pointy stick to squeeze a few more words in edgeways..

p.p.p.s. It was Laura Cantrell, the singer, I mean.
