unnecessary but here

I’ve been working on a tune on and off for a few months. It’s a remix/remake of ‘Cheetah Style’ by the inimitable Keith! Party. I used Reason 4, and particularly the new Thor synthesiser (in fact I think all the synths use the Thor). Since it’s about as finished as it’s going to get, I’ve decided to release it. Download the tune here (4mb), and please, let me know what you think.

I’ve been too busy to work on much music recently, apart from practising the guitar whenever I can. However, Meyrick and I have just started sending Reason files back and forth with the hopes of creating something amusing, if not worth listening to. I’ll keep you posted.

For those of you who’ve listened to Zappa’s Overnite Sensation and been mystified by his references to “Zircon Encrusted Tweezers”, wonder no more:

“…by placing a pair of zircon-encrusted tweezers in the hands of his dental-floss-farmer-to-be in `Montana’, Zappa is displaying an intimate awareness of the culture of the Wild West, now vanishing under a carpet of fast-food joints and auto dealers.”
