It's FAWM#4.

I guess I should apologise to everyone for not doing this this year. A lot of people seem a lot disappointed and a bit pissed off with me.

Aw, I hope no-one's pissed off with you. Stuff gets in the way sometimes. But any time there's new Tobermory material my ears are open

Hehe. I keep saying you're John AND Paul, and I'm barely George. I wouldn't dream of calling @paulh1237 Ringo though...

Cheers btw. The song is definitely not not about NJ. Scene Damage double A-side back on

Just a quick word about the drum track I sent you, I didnt record with a click so I wouldnt suggest that you do either since It would probably mess up with whatever tempo I'm playing at....

That bus-king busking video is awesome. I hope that Early Cartographers manage to find their way back together at some point!

Just sacrifice your social life for the greater good of the advancement of the cause of music.

Alright Ill send you a drum track either today or tomorrow...by the way, do u have any genre in preference...or a genre you want to stay away from..?
frenchcricket 3 months ago

Lol. This school business seems like a ballache!
oakly 3 months ago

Terrible at it? haha well I was thinking we could try something pretty crazy, like maybe I send you a drum track of whatever, and then you could record a guitar part over it, send it back to me and Ill add a bass part and just keep going back and forth...and hope for the best, idk just an idea

Hey dude, that's for your comment, I was intended to do all my songs with my acoustic do I could do them live but my electric is too tempting.
expendablefriend 3 months ago

Taking it as it comes... I did make some substantial progress in culling my February to-do list this week, so I'm hopeful.....

Oops, sorry - is it a vocoder then? Please accept my humblest apologies. I was listening on laptop speakers.

nickperrin 3 months ago

HEY! Good to see you again. I am indeed back. And got some music in the works. Guess it's time to update my page though.

"Anti-folk" and punk, sounds like I'll be following you again this time around...
waar 3 months ago

Hi!
I am indeed trying to FAWM as we speak, but I am finding it difficult due to lack of talent. *sadface*
Looking forward to hearing what you come up with though. Did I ever tell you that "Tornado" is on every compilation disc I ever make? I like it THAT much.
oakly 3 months ago

Hey good to see you back, hope to hear from you this year cuz everything you put out is awesome!
degausser 3 months ago

Thankyou for your comments Mr Tobermory and yes I completely agree - it did end too soon! Maybe thats the problem with turning an acoustic song into something a bit more comprehnsive - I kind of just add stuff as I go without having something in mind before recording the guitar take. Looking forward to hearing your new stuff. I'm going to give a lot more comments this year - for everyone.
antlion 3 months ago

adforperu 4 months ago

Oh man, well that's a shame. Going on last year, FAWM stuff tends to be anything and everything. So I think I'll write something and if it suits, it suits. Up for a collab with EC in mind though? Trying to get Nat and Ed on FAWM too..
vomvorton 4 months ago

Hehe, we'll see where it goes! I've got to write some stuff first... and speak to one or two people...

Sir, I am going to FAWM my balls off.
