The Tale of Andy’s Lyrics

The Brothers Domino provide you with more entertaining whiffle about creativity and the joys of making stuff up. This episode includes:

  • Exciting news about Volume 1 of The Best of TAJD! 
  • Skinny white boys and the prehistory of creativity
  • A dramatic reenactment of a key moment from the history of the band
  • What exactly is a degausser?

Also, a call to get involved in the challenge to write and record a song around the mythical lyrics from our sacred text, the book Rock Talk by Julian Colbeck, presented herewith:   


[Verse]

Searching for time that just is not there.
Does it always have to take this long?
You said don’t push it too far, just let it fade away.
But I felt I had to do something before we threw it all away.

[Chorus]

Just a dash of creativity
that's all it needed.
Creativity
with all of them trimmings that come with love.

[Verse]

So take heed,
before you jump that gun
settle your conscience.
Can't you see what I see?
Girl, are you blind
to the ways of the lovin' man?
You need. . .

[Repeat Chorus]

Cover Versions Special!

It’s a Cover Versions Special!

Good lord, what is happening? Can you believe your eyes? It’s quite literally a special episode where we talk about cover versions! This is madness! 

But not the band Madness. 

Why do we do cover versions? Are they ever better than the original? What band did the best cover versions? What would be a wise song to cover now? 

All of these questions and more may be ignored as we listen to a bunch of cover versions that we recorded. Songs originally made famous by artists including Neil Diamond, The Ramones and Bryan Adams. 

This episode also contains what we call an Engagement Opportunity. Which you could ignore if you like, but quite honestly it’ll make you a more interesting person if you take part.
