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
A song not inspired by the mighty events happening in the US today, although pretty topical I must say. More so by a really annoying woman who I used to work with and was constantly sounding off about politics, but then happily let slip that she did not bother voting. A rant towards that attitude. Anyway, thanks to Plato for the amazingly apt 1000 yr old quote, and apologies for the paraphrasing !
Lyrics
I sat on the bus today I heard a woman curse the way That the government were running the country. I asked her did she vote them in Too which she gave a simple grin, and said I didn't vote coz it rained on polling day You don't have the right You don't have the right to complain So either vote, or shut the f@ck up You know that there's a price to pay If you stay in bed on election day Show no interest in politics or policy Said Plato in his commentary The price of being sedentary Is to be ruled by those less able than you You don't have the right You forfeit the right to complain So either vote or shut the fuck up You've lost the right You've lost the right to complain So either vote..... Take off your comedy slippers Put down that TV remote Get off your fat ass Get out there and vote
