April/May - aaa you may have missed a pirate themed gig with the supremely untalented If Robin Dies and the opposite blaggards Toby (W)Johns, Milkteeth, Lycanthrope Oboe and James from Death on Stilts..and shock guest appearance by re-Laminator. Also recording was attempted on a broken tape player but was abandoned in favour of looking at the moon.
Feb/March - GIG in Spread EAgle heandforrfdd, 5th march, with percussive [Technician] +backing strangles and other musicalGIANTS of the underground stream: Milk Teeth and Those Gay Hippies (Killer folk has been killed by obligation) oh and 8track demo is ready today thursday(we started on tuesday night), very limited.
Feb - I'm still here, are you? I listened to the songs we recorded and got bored in the living room watching silent rem videos, the days get warmer but no-one is around. Hope for the future lies with Toby and th' Teeth.
Jan - 3 new recordings made over the darker half of winter at home, i didnt get to the bridge due to time problems so the EP will have to wait a bit longer. I'm thinking of giving up all this sh*** but on the Super-Good side i heard some brilliant songs played at a small village hall gig on the 1st, if you havent already you should be killing your friends to get hold of ANYTHING by Milk Teeth, Toby (Wainwright)Johns or Dirty Ray (especially anything live). Milk Teeth have promised an album soon (tell them to stop being lazy art-types at www.myspace.com/milkteeththeband) Ray has a few i believe and Toby has one out already and a shamefully good new EP coming soon (on Avocado Records). May you all be how you want to be for however long that is.
Dec - New recordings from the bedroom of johnwald the ninth earl of Exetr city.. ( some may appear on album.1) current evil thinking recquires me to record the ep over christ mass in the cold under the bridge. ######Also beware of winter scout hut gig (7th anniversary of it) in Glasbury (Powys), between late dec+early january###### Bridge out.
New Mainpage picture, Look upon this picture of NotJim and the Beautiful Rev. Shiftin Nobcakes Jnr ye mighty and despair.
I will be outside in Swansea on th 23rd Nov. at exactly 3.33pm making some noise with the evil people of StopSwanseaHELL (see /promotions or or /something ??) we're going to do some spontaneous live musik by the box (nr McShit in town) + 2 new songs up today since i discovered a new (but hate inducing recording method)
* W 0 W * a new song has been uploaded. malnutrition and insomnia arent your friends either so empathise with the bad playing...Coming soon, new songs and dances of an ep ?
Hahahaa, did you think this was going to say something like 'i've finished recording that ep' ? weLl you're wrong, the recording device you're looking for is broken, ep is delayed.

Not a waste of life for you or yor friends.
Countryside hatred of shelves, post/pre/during If ROBIN DIES
is full of jokes that noone seems to understand possibly due to hearing loss
Communal peeing on keyboards and sending them to people who might find it erotic since 2004~
more headings that tell you nothing~~~~
If EVER you needed a reason to turn off the internet this just might be it.
Now go and listen to the song s and decide.
#Important Note# - I have very little access to recording technologies - some of these songs are fuggin dreadful##### (but some of these songs have been made more dreadful by access to said tainted equipment)

Why this name?
BAndnames are all terrible, onl y reputation makes them seem good. YOU ARE BEING LIED TO
this is not jim Smith .
this is not jim Smith .
Do you play live?
I'll play anywhere and sometimes do, its a great place, and the specialistest time i ever had was making my very own page on soundclick.con yessir it was
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I enjoy walking and poems and sleeping outdoors and seeing horses and foxes (not necessarily together, that's probably a hunt situation) and trees and DIE POLICE BRUTALITY DIE good food and small gigs. i also like saying worcesteshersershire any chance i get (which isnt often enough) wait this isnt meetbetterfriends .comn is it! well i'm not wasting all that text
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Sure i'll sign them, are they any good? what sort of music do they play?
Band History:
Its just me and on bestest days friends too, doing battered acoustic stuff in small rooms or outside/in more interesting places...i've been writing songs a while, it amuses me that im not better at it by now, i've only just recorded most of these but I do some other stuff with 'If Robin Dies'(joint vocal sounds, guitar, bass or scratchy violin..super multitalent i know) the greatest band in underground wales you've never heard of..or at least they would be if it wasnt for me...and i like it that way.
there has recently been some fun sounds from a mr TJ Farraden who thrums away at an electric bodhran and WILL SING, it's all recorded live bu t we must be'ware of sound engineers.

Your influences?
errr oh thee internett people love their lists dont they....., some bands/people i like (not promising that i do or dont sound like them) are - Toby Johns, Laminator, Liars, Gogol Bordello, Those Gay Hippies, Poison Girls, Crass, Meat Puppets, Milkteeth, Breeders, Pixies, Babes in Toyland, Sonic Youth, Belly, old Pulp, Crucif***s, Raincoats, Adam Green, Swans, Tom Waits, Flipper, Guanoman, Syd Matters, Heidi Berry, Mark Lanegan, Slim Cessna's Auto Club, Pram, Mcdermott's Two Hours, Leonard Cohen, Cows, Melvins, Erics Trip, Military Surplus/RDF, Cocorosie, Melt Bannana, Beat Happening, rolls, Nick Cave/Birthday Party, Talking Heads...How about if you listen to it, write to me with what you think it sounds like..maybe i can put that up instead i dont know??
Favorite spot?
A field near Robins house, under the bridge in Glasbury, the corner of my room.
Equipment used:
fuq orff, you';re just trying to make fun of my guitar - its not in your mastabatory articles in 'rock sound' that's all you need to know.
Anything else...?
I'm here to write music i'd want to listen to, but ironically dont want to because i wrote it. Lyrics/ideas that amuse me, real things that sound like a joke, music that sounds like where it's written, bad ripoffs of little known bands that i like that i want them to sing, parts that i know would annoy fans of the music 'scene' wherever i am, oddittys/mundanities that would please my friends..if any of it pleases you, well maybe you count as a friend as well, nameless computer user but then again you like emo dont you? go on piss off hahahaaaa
