Song about losing the wonder and hope we have when we're young.
The words 'Mr Boom' are used with the kind permission from Andy Munro.
Folksy psychodelilah, acoustic guitar, mighty flanges on kelvin's electric, Samantha and Marilyn giving it their all, Wonkfloosh at the controls. Even some stringy synth on the choruses. Whats happened here?
Guitars, Bass, Drums, Voice.
Elements of R Newman's song combined with a strict 39 Dangerous Street rewrite combine to produce a thing of beauty.
The cold wind of misery, confusion and lack of direction in life combines with regular everyday existential angst to develop a theme which is like having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
Lovely Tune, recorded live at rehearsal in Captain W's cowshed studio back in Dec 2004.
Smithsy vibe and drop changes featuring Abba - esque 'SOS' stylee guitar solo. Yum
Thundering exploration of Scottish history. VisitScotland.com go home to England. Class war, tourism, leaving home, lost hope, bad weather, wrong decisions... its all here. Meanwhile in the depths of a deep dark Scottish loch...
Straight outta Brampton... like a boat out of Hull.
An ancient scottish song. Two crows discuss their next meal, a dead knight lying beyond a wall.
Go on...stimulate the grey matter...put a bullet in her head!
Classic track from Perthshire's finest avant-pop-folk- anarcho-rockabilly hedonists. Production and remix by Captain W.
39 Dangerous Street jam on some disco classics
Recorded live at a rehearsal about ten years ago. An old playground rhyme from Scotland. Recent sub-textual examinations show it to be of profound depth and relevance to Life, Death and all points in between.
Gorgeous melody. Seasons pass and change. Years wash through us like the waves' surge through the sand.
Jazzy acoustic feel, melancholic turn of autumn and the unavoidable conclusion that the beauty that was summer has passed and things are dying.
Pounding melodic workout. Kinda Neil Young and Crazy Horse feel to it, unintentionally of course, we shouldn't be getting this sound in a coalshed in Perth - whatever Captain W does with Zoom rack mounted reverb unit and the multitrack afterwards.
Live studio recording of backing track for The Great North Road. Lovely.
Ranting spite and the politics of Scottish dischord. Acid Avant Rockabilly from Perth's finest, produced by Captain W.
A tentative step toward an electro future for 39 Dangerous Street? Captain W at the controls for another push at Perthshire's sonic boundaries. They're digging this from Aberuthven tae Auchterarder...
Beautiful song by Ron and Russell Mael of Sparks and used with their express consent. They wrote " We like the version very much...we very much like the spirit of it... and he's got a great exotic accent for us Californians."
An old song recorded live at the last reheasrsal with Kelvin at Captain W's cowshed studio.
Never happy with the vocal on this, we thought we'd stick the tune out. Groovy peice of tune on its own...please feel free to sing over it and let us hear the results. It cant be worse than William's version...
A classic cover of a classic Burns song. Production by Captain W.
