Rock

I wanted a standing stone...just like on the cover of Konditions of Change ....a stone ....that stands to go with the stone circle ...we had just purchased from a strange little foreign man at the garden centre.

We 'd already told the rest of the band we were looking to get one ...yes we are a band now complete with percussionist we rehearse in our music room log cabin in our garden....as the Incredible Gurning man asked me.....are we a garage band now? or a shed band? a log cabin band? I reckon a potential kick arse folk rock band????? anyway we asked the little foreign man about prices of stones and he quoted about £350 for one just over a metre tall....just for a stone that stands there ...... Now having just kicked the merry shit out of our flexible friend and payed that for two tickets to see U2 at Wembley in August we just couldn't justify it .......the count down begins by the way.....133 days til we see U2........hoorah!!! So returning home stoneless...........not very rock n roll that is it?....stoneless.....

anyway we decided we'd move the gnome garden over to under the Studio window and I grabbed a bit of plum slate stone stood it on end surrounded it by solar light rocks and hey presto ...the gnomes had their very own standing stone. It's just the rest of the band are going to think we were taking the piss now!!!!!!! but the gnomes like it . We have 13 resident gnomes and a hedgehog and wheel barrow........oh yes a windimill thingy and a bird......ok ok ....no....... don't click off this page now I'll get back to the music...

Progress at times with both Stone Jesters and Hot Machero was painfully slow. Spriggan Mist however is a different kettle of fish and thus far it has been so much fun. Some of the stuff we have in the pipeline is actually quite exciting and Gurning boy's song London Town will go down really well with you Sprigganites.....both of you.. The Gurnster has also introduced us to an old song of his known as The Park (previously Dog sh1t park apparently and the lyric is still in the song if you listen carefully) I reckon will blow your socks off ...even Dark Marge's holey ones .(or Lex Luther or whatever name he goes under these days.

Our percussionist describes himself as a veteran......he certainly can play and we are glad to have him on board he is as solid as a rock (back on the stone theme) and seems to be a very interesting character........looks uncannily like my Father Dearest. Blog name hasn't come to me yet but it will.

Dot the Phantom Pinger has replaced the Glock.....(glockenspiel ...not the gun) with a keyboard and between The Phantom Pinger and the Gurner extraordinaire they have so many pedals ....it's like the the Tour de France..........without the drugs of course....and strange men in berets and hooped blue and white tops on bikes shouting "onions onions"......stereotypical enough?

So Kultural Karma is being re born......here is the list of people who have sung it so far

Wifey wrote it for
Spaceboy (Hot Machero)- sang it once and then left the band...
Posh-(Stone Jesters)- He sang it then ..then .he left the band
Woody-(Stone Jesters)- She sang it...then left the band
Scooby (Stone jesters)- She performed it live twice ...then the band folded
Wifey- (Spriggan mist) - She performed it on the recording currently on myspace
Grace Way- We tried to record her for the track...great voice heart wasn't in it ...equipment played up on the night etc..

The incredible Gurning Man- tried it ....not in his range

now Me.....yes I have handed my bass part over to Gurns! and i'm going to sing it ....Wifey's part is difficult to play and sing and I can't really play and sing ...I know the song so the job is mine.......does that mean I have to leave the band now?!??!?!?

Anyway I'm off till next time
