Bio

Hello all.

2012. FAWM number seven for me. I hope.

Looks like life's going to carve a couple of week-long chunks out of my February this year, so 14.5 seems a little optimistic. Still deluding myself I can make it, though.

Good luck!

Mr Debenham.. what's the odds on borrowing you for a little bit o' piano? And maybe some vocals too? That would be swell

I saw a message you left for Tim inquiring about a pedal steel. I don't have one, but depending on how much reverb you add, you can actually make the pedal steel in a General Midi sound font sound passable for certain types of effects. You can't really do licks per se, but you can get it to sound like what I've got here on this cover of Beck's "the Golden Age": http://rockstarnot.rekkerd.org/songs/newer/rockstar_not%20-%20The%20Golden%20Age%202%20minute%20cover.mp3

I was thinking Greg Brown myself on "Get Down to It" but I'll take Marc Cohn in a heartbeat. Thanks for the comments Mike.

I have reached that point where I no longer have the space or the cash for more gear, so an actual guitar is likely out of the question. I did have a start at learning to play my Dad's guitar many years ago; not sure I want to go through the callous-forming process again. But if you want to start a collection for me or even mail me one, I promise to give it a go.

Sorry Mike, as much as I'd love to own a pedal steel, I'm afraid I don't have one.

Thanks for the comment! I fixed the audio, hopefully it works now. x]

Listening to your song Sally My Love with Phil Norman from the FAWMcast-must have been last year, not this year. It's a really enjoyable song and Phil is as good a collaborator as one could ever wish for here.

Good to see you as well, Mike! Yeah, droughts suck, but FAWM has managed to kick-start me again.

Nice bricks, BTW ... or is it parquet?

You're a bit confused, Mike: The keyboard bought *me* dinner.

Hi Mike, long time no see.
Good luck finding the time to grab those ideas out of thin air this year.

My god, I've been wrong all along. Is it too late to become a Happy Little Vegemite?

Mike, I'm sure nobody will be disappointed with what you may post, certainly I hope *you* won't! Welcome to this year!

Well it was excellent fun to do . You free for another collab this round?

Looks like your 2012 February will be like mine.

Arse-fractional it is! Good to see you here Mike, looking forward to your fawmput!

Hi Mike, as always, great to see you here.
A collab - one day it might actually happen! So if you have any spare lyrics lying around the place you want to chuck my way, go right ahead.

DEBENHAM. I still listen to your music repeatedly at work. HUZZAH, YOU'RE HERE!

All I really want is the search team's phone back. In a moment of cheapness, I decided not to purchase the anti-drop-bear protection plan. While we're on the topic, I tried Vegemite for the first time this summer. I now recognize masochism as part of the Australian national character.

Very good. If the search team I sent ruins any of your grass or hedges, please forward me the bill. And kindly let them know they can come home now; they've stopped answering their phone.

Debenwatch, day one-- still no sign of the man from Melbourne. Optimism remains high.

Mike, wondering if you are up for collabs this year? I will have to add vox, perhaps like 'Eye for an Eye' from a couple years back?

Hello sir, hope you enjoyed Finland and hope you're about for some FAWMage this year
