Hi I am a guitarist/singer, originally from Manchester and having spent 7 years living on the south coast, have recently moved to Beckenham in South London. I produce all the noises you hear, with varying degrees of amateurism, apart from when I can get my girlfriend drunk enough to step up to the mic and do some backing vocals ! I have been lucky enough to collaborate with two other soundclick members and hope to do more in the future. Frank and Mitch's work can also be found at http://www.soundclick.com/FAL http://www.soundclick.com/perfusion Historically I have written & recorded at home with the Boss BR1180. This has recently been sold and new recordings are now done via garageband on my mac. Equipment Used Audio technica ATR30 mic Fender Redondo acoustic Paul Reed Smith custom SE electric Yamaha Pacifica electric Tanglewood Bass POD xt live effects processor M-Audio 49e Keyboard Tone Port ux2 interface ...plus anything else I can scrape, hit or strum Anyone fancy doing any Internet collaboration? Give me a shout Cheers

Story behind the song
Back in early 2004 I wrote a little rant called Celebrity Schmelebrity venting my frustration at our obsession with celebrities (scroll down, it's still on this soundclick site). At the time my friends on the Boss BR1180 forum suggested I should periodically update the song to add new "victims". I decided that if I as going to do a new version I had to keep the same sort of song structure, but try and make it sound as different as possible from the original so as to make it an interesting challenge rather than a simple re-recording. I had the song 80% complete when i was contacted through soundclick by Frank, (see and hear his work here) http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=804792 In the last couple of weeks he has donated a bass line and some great counterpoint vocals which have really added something new to the sound and brought the project to fruition Hope you like it
Lyrics
Brad and Jolie adopting kids around the world Their matching the colours, their balancing the girls and boys Designer children, accessorise, mix and match Be careful with the skin tones, you wouldn't want your kids to clash Ch When I grow up i know what i want to be An ABCD list celebrity Doctor, Lawyer, that's not for me Just want to see my stupid face on TV Madge and Ritchie their trying to lead the country life The Squire with his shotgun parading with his lady wife They don't like intruders, they say they need their privacy Oh, how we laugh as Guy's films go straight to DVD Chorus David and Vicki your matching hair is laughable Your stage managed life is designed to fool the gullible Moving to LA cos David's footballs in decline So what he says as he starts another product line Chorus
