| No Point In Staying Too Long by davidmayer | 2 months ago |
| Thanks Tom, LunaBleu and my dear friend Woofmeister. Your comments are very much appreciated. John, I normally write stuff in safe voice mode these days but as Carter devised this riff spontaneously and we recorded it immediately on his iphone we stuck with this. | |
| it's in the ice a box by woofer3 | 6 months ago |
| This is just so much fun I don't know where to start.The production is so authentically late 1950s it is almost as if you experienced the period first hand and I know you are too young for that. So you must have picked this up from listening to the Greatest Hits of Cliff Richard(s) or perhaps Showaddy Waddy those maestros of authentic rock n Roll nuance and subtelty. Anywho! you must do a similar treatment for my ITalian Friends based on Bunga Bunga Berlesconi. it is begging for a Woofer treatment. My score 1 out of ten for showaddyequesicity . 15 out of ten for everything else |

| Here come himmler by woofer3 | 7 months ago |
 Eine Meisterwerk! Three Ziegs and five Heils for the Woofmeister! Just like the Third Reich this song starts very pleasantly and positively with images of Autobahns and workers holidays, and dressing up in brown shirts and attending fun filled rallies but underneath the nasty Nazis are working their horrible magic. A Question though! your deflation of the arrogant posturing Nazis using comedy and sarcasm is extremely effective and always very entertaining. Like "who do you think you are kidding mr Hitler". But these guys were hideous mass murderers? Just a thought! about how current pain evokes a different response to knowledge of pain in the past? |

| be kind to a killer by woofer3 | 7 months ago |
| not disapproval! just depressing that children might be put at risk. I guess the rule they are applying was formulated for the best possible reasons. In the past vulnerable people ( not murderers or criminals ) have been incarcerated in prisons and mental institutions for life and their cases have never been reviewed. This law forces the state to ensure that such mis-justices do not happen again. I do not expect that he will be released but as this has happened before and people have reoffended ( your favourite subject Venerables for example) so we are right to worry about the system. | |
| be kind to a killer by woofer3 | 8 months ago |
A bit depressing really but as the joke goes "beautifully cooked and served" |

Excellent slime from the audio. Moving around on Woofer's floor. Love it! |

| Words Get In The Way by davidmayer | 8 months ago |
| Thanks Pharmakeus Thanks John! I thought you were in our group. Who was it who provided us with the "prefect solution to our quest for enlightenment"? Have you got another keyboard player in there? |

| secret service [ 07-01 ] by woofer3 | 10 months ago |
| Asinine I think but it might also be Atonal, Hey flower punk where you going with those beads around your neck, Haymaker, Hay on Wye, Hey Hey Paula, Hayfever, Hey now Hank Kingsley or Assonance. Probably the last one! | |
| secret service [ 07-01 ] by woofer3 | 10 months ago |

| Thanks Woofer. In future we will upload the recommended AAC or whatever as well as Mp3. Did you try to download it and listen? | |
| a night at the opera [mix 12-02] by woofer3 | 1 year ago |
Your word smithery gets ever slippery and slithery. I hates opera but I loves night at the opera. Hey Boss you got a piano in there? I found myself harmonising on this. The piano as vocal is a great idea but then you could always make that clavichord talk. Things are slowing down in my world of work. I will be in touch soon. DM |

| Paint you Blue by davidmayer | 1 year ago |
| Thanks Vixen. but I'm definitely not the droid they are looking for in this song. We enjoyed making it though. | |
| Paint you Blue by davidmayer | 1 year ago |
| Disclaimer: No humans or animals were injured during the making of this production. Any resemblance to characters dead or living is purely coincidental. We are just actors living out a screenplay. Sometimes I'm Austin Powers and sometimes I'm Doctor Evil. Actually most of the other songs on this site are honest and heartfelt but this just followed a spontaneous idea to its logical conclusion. Thank you brewchugger and pharmakeus for you kind words |

| animal crackers [ 05-01] by woofer3 | 1 year ago |
Excellent. You really the Poet of Pentyrch, the Jeffrey Archer of Argoed, the composer of Castle Coch (and the immediate area surrounding this ancient neo gothic monument) Using film titles is giving you some good inspiration |

| the coconuts by woofer3 | 1 year ago |
absolutely mental! I just love this surrealist mix of Zappa, Beefheart and Ian Dury |
|
| monkey business [07-01] by woofer3 | 1 year ago |
This is brilliant. and the poetry in the third and fourth lines is absolutely superb But I recall, how I cried for a while, how I limped for a mile,. . . wonderful!!! |
|
| room service by woofer3 | 1 year ago |
| I loved the Marx Brothers. Groucho was the cleverest man who ever lived ( next to Liam gallagher of course who is a god upon this earth) (oh and Charles Windsor future king of England but hopefully not Wales) oh! and David Camerooni. . . anyway Great song and as Groucho said "Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot" |

| Next Time I'll Know Better by davidmayer | 1 year ago |
| Thank you people we appreciate your comments John, we are considering a version in pigeon Welsh so we may be calling on your services |
|
| groom of the stool by woofer3 | 1 year ago |
| Happy Christmas John N Von. Always the groom eh? Hang on! what is that saying? Very nice track and extremely interesting construction Herr Woofer. You are definitely the Richard Stilgoe of the Rhondda. ( only joking) I saw this topic on Tony Robinson's history's dirtiest jobs ( no pun intended- although? go on! you can maybe squeeze a little one out) I wonder does the Dook need a groom. I think you should stop picking on our Hennery and start back again on the current shower. PS Alphabetical order is very confusing for me. Apologies if I missed some. |

| Thanks Pharmakeus, Tony and John we really appreciate your comments | |
| vanessa's gastric band by woofer3 | 1 year ago |
| Its a pity that some of your fans don't know who you are talking about as this excellent diatribe would impress them even more. As it is they are just judging you on your cleverness and not on your acerbic and well aimed criticism of someone who I just cannot understand ever became a TV personality. She was on 8 out of ten cats this very night. Princess Anne opened our local school recently. I refused to attend. If you are going to get someone famous for being famous rather than having a negotiable talent I would have preferred someone from big brother or Britain's got no talent rather than a Royal sponger. A slightly slimmed down Vanessa might have tempted me - to throw eggs | |
| dreaming, the way I do sometimes [07-01] by woofer3 | 1 year ago |
| Great Track! Hey I just had a strange vision whilst listening to this. I can visualize you dancing to this in a Spanish dance hall dressed in a white suit! Nah ! that could never happen! I'll have to leave those magic mushrooms alone. | |
| maybe - version 2 by woofer3 | 1 year ago |
| Thoroughly enjoyable and strangely satisfying and mesmeric track but then I could listen to you tinkle those ivories all day ( and listen to you play piano as well) | |
| We're No Angels by davidmayer | 1 year ago |
| Thanks John | |
| Fiddler On The Roof by zincshed | 1 year ago |
| Very unexpected but excellent rendition of this song. Great Sax. Makes me want to dance the Hora in Ska style |
|
| Sitting in the Darkness II ( of this Spanish Apartment) by davidmayer | 1 year ago |
| Thanks Pharmakeus, Bass2x and Zincshed you kind words are very much appreciated David & Glyn |
|
| indiana avenuue stomp. by woofer3 | 1 year ago |
| Bootiful! I could listen to you exploring those ivories all day long ( ooer sounds like a line from your new song about the Brokeback Coalition) I agree with Monkaton about keeping the boogies moving |
|
| no time to cry [06-01] by woofer3 | 1 year ago |
| Yeah yet another great song to add to the vast pantheon ( is that some kinda animal?) | |
| who'd like teeth like Harriet Harman [-06-02] by woofer3 | 1 year ago |
It's the system wot does it. How else can you explain why they all turn out the same? I think the next project has to be a Country hit starring the Brokeback Mountain Duo, Dave & David, with Kameroon on tuba & Klegg on his knees But have ya got it in yer boy!? not yet! let me plug in my Hammond Organ. Great song |
|
| heavy mary #2 by woofer3 | 1 year ago |
| You promised you would not release this song about my girlfriend! However, through my tears and hurt I have to admit it is an excellent song and very accurate |
|
| walk back in time by woofer3 | 1 year ago |
Wow! hints of Jethro Tull meets Frank Zappa then clearly the woofmeister takes over. This is a really good track. Very unusual and original. You know I'm not good at maths but was that a 5/4 rhythm. Oh! and a bit of Argent on second hearing! Brilliant |
|
| I'm down by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| Top Stuff! great track! | |
| pre election chant by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| Fragile credibility eh! sounds a bit poetic to describe the political process in this country. It's just a matter of choosing who will do the least worst job as no one is prepared to tinker with the old establishment stranglehold that controls our lives. Still, at least we can live in our own little musical world Great singing though if a little short - given the steam that must be coming from your ears at this time but very enjoyable |
|
| Eichmann's Lullaby by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| THis is another entertaining and thought provoking addition to the Third Reich project. The BBC should dump Andrew Lloyd Webber and get you to start a weekly audition for the next "Eva" for the "Burning Hitler" musical. I don't think you could make it quite as cheesey or pointless as ALW but you could try. I am not sure what the BBC would think of using original music rather than ALW's classical rip offs though? Eva Braun, Eva Braun, get off your back get into town don't let us down oh no-o no-o ( to the tune of grocer jack) |
|
| Hot Mess by brewchugger | 2 years ago |
| Excellent track, I love the Zappa style guitar rumbling in the background and the drums are terrific. | |
| High On Sci-Fi by davidmayer | 2 years ago |
| Thank you fellow space rock travellers. I would have to be raised in California like Frank to be able to do real cheesiness so this is the nearest I can get. Woofer sums it up. If this was Frank he would say it had "No Commercial Potential" We had lots of fun on this track though- experimenting on various plug ins and using Glyn's new Apogee Duet firewire interface that makes it so easy to switch between instruments and functions. We reversed the guitar lead because I love the Beatles "Only Sleeping" break. Not entirely successful but seems appropriately "outa space" I don't believe that Glyn's story of Alien Abduction but it would explain why he now has five testicles. |
|
| good morning Mr. Hitler. by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| Brilliant track. I can see an animated music dvd in the future. Don't be stoopid be a smarty, come and join the nazi party. In the Hitler clip at the end he mentions the communists, the gays, the jews, and the blacks, I am not sure if he was being critical about them or not as this does not translate very clearly into english | |
| welcome to the world of martin bormann - [02-02] by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| wow! you have gone from genuine bitterness and pissedoffiness to genuine comedy brilliance over the past few years. This acerbic critique of Nazism shows that you now have the required cynicism, tempered by the understanding that nothing ever changes, that is needed to produce original comedy. I love this track. I laughed out loud at times. I have a book about the search for Bormann somewhere that you should read. Bormann acted like Radar in MASH. He controlled Hitler and the third reich without anyone really knowing. Santayana said that those who do not remember the past are condemned to re-live it. Bormann and Blair & Brown and Cameraman are examples of his warning. |

| boogie woogie bugle boy by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| Excellent Woofsky. Although knowing some of the early stuff we did with deliberate scratchy sounds I can't help thinking this might be an early April Fool's Day present. | |
| demons in the house of plenty by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| Woofer has been on the ball politically for sometime. Check out Short Clare Short from June 2006 and the Man who would be King. He should have been on the panel for the Iraq enquiry asking questions in the form of a song. | |
| The Fire Next Time by davidmayer | 2 years ago |
| Thanks John, we'll do it again sometime with some groovy Mickleburger keyboard. | |
| demons in the house of plenty by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| Incidentally! Margaret Thatcher introduced the current expenses system to try to hide the true cost of being an MP. I agree that Brown should have sorted it but he is quite out of his depth unfortunately. | |
| demons in the house of plenty by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| Wow! did I mention cynical? I am ashamed to say that I agree with you but am fearful at the motives of the Tory Telegraph. This only harms left wing parties trying to make a difference (if failing) The house of Commons is a corrupt, establishment organisation. Imagine what it will be like when the corrupt establishment party itself, under Cameron get their hands on power later this year. You'd better be prepared to write more songs later in 2010 Great Hymn though and great lyrics. Its a pity it is so true |
|
| Rollin' the Stone #2 - [key Eb] by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| You've got such pretty fingers john its almost like they have been hacked off some brilliant pre-war black piano guru and grafted on to your cynical white body in some bizarre Frankenstein experiment. I heard these things were going on in Cardiff in the 1950s but never believed them until now. I am going to pay more attention to your hands the next time I see them! I want to see the joins. |

| stench-pipe boogie woogie by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| It's like being in New Orleans a hundred years ago | |
| hot mama #4 by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| Great song J, glyn and I agree with bob6stringer, some guitar would make this into a classic. Glyn's free if Bob6 is not available | |
| yellow fingered papa by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| It's magic mushroom time! I love that weird stuff at the end | |
| Something You Can't Touch 2 by davidmayer | 2 years ago |
| Thanks John, we sweated blood and tears on this track. The other track is still there, this is just a different take. | |
| answer to my dreams - [demo] by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| Hey John, I love this song. brilliant! | |
| Something You Can't Touch 2 by davidmayer | 2 years ago |
| Thank You Naaji. your comments are very much appreciated David |
|
| You Like to Lie by Naaji | 2 years ago |
| Great track, love the synth bass and the edginess caused by being millisecond ahead of the beat | |
| don't know what's come over you by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| Sorry to get a bit serious here- maybe its the wine! I guess this is Woofer the actor getting into the role and imagining a real situation but this is a great song with bags of feeling. I think this is the most honest you have written because it moves me ( and I can't see how its done- Muddy Waters). I think the balance between vocals and backing needs a remix because the vocal deserve much more prominence- and this brings me to the artwork. I think you have subconsciously selected something that is very empathetic to this song. The balloon heart drifting away soon to be out of sight, the hand reaching but not really trying to catch it, perhaps realising that its over. The composition of the painting by Danielle also shows a very mature understanding of space ( I'll explain that sometime)wonderful stuff! | |
| Oh smile, Where are you going? by Rusticalia | 2 years ago |
| "Somehow eternity almost seems possible as you embrace. And yet when you've got past the fear in that first exchange of glances" Marvelous! I did it! I read my first poem by Rilke whilst listening to your track. |
|
| Oh smile, Where are you going? by Rusticalia | 2 years ago |
| This is a very good track. I was at Castle Duino last year and used a photo I took of an amazing atmospheric condition at sea for my song Queen of Pain (Approximately) . I'll have to check out Rilke's work and play this song whilst I read it. I can see how he must have been inspired by the place. The views are breath taking. I felt really envious of not being able to sit on the balcony overlooking the Adriatic strumming my guitar and drinking coffee everyday. ( even if the Nazis were in the basement) | |
| Simply Beautiful Blues by albumflaps | 2 years ago |
| Excellent! when you work out everything beforehand it can get a little stiff so I think its always best to get it out there and then pick the best bits and try to keep the same feel under more controlled conditions. Not easy I know, but that's what I do with Glyn who is a great intuitive guitarist and a wonderfully sensitive interpreter of mood, but hates it when he has recreate the licks later. | |
| she said yeah by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| I don't remember giving you permission to use that photo of my wife? and have you seen my little willy postcard? This IS classic Welsh Rock as you assert above. Reminiscent of Idwal and the Iechyd Ddas that marvellous 60s rock band from Llaregub. Didn't you play washboard in that group? or was it Triangle? |
|
| seems like a million years by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| I know you are unhappy with the vocals but really it does not show in the finished song. This is a wonderful evocative and very moving story, especially for all of us History Channel viewers. A beautiful song and beautifully and sensitively rendered. eleven out of ten. | |
| in the house #2 by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| Brilliant. I love this driving rock & roll. | |
| five days a week by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| Great song john | |
| Losing you by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| Another facet of the woofmeister that most people have not seen before. I really like this but then I'm an old Hank Williams fan from way back. I like the clever meter in the first line which is very Williams-like and keeps you guessing. I would recommend getting Carter to put some slide guitar on it but people might think you are taking the mick. excellent stuff, Number one in the Nashville charts by August | |
| Dance with a stranger [Ruth's song]#2 by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| Brilliant John. The lyrics are getting almost as good as mine. No really, these are very clever lines. This is a great pop song with serious social undertones by the best commentator of contemporary society in the new millenium! ooooooooh! I think I better lie down, my brain hurts. Fab gear stuff john I really like this track |

| Teddy's little shocker - sizzle mix by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
Sick but Slick, Weird but wired. It's a bit like Dale Watson's version of Yellow Mama (not!!!!) This is a great rock and Rolling track as usual |
|
| Let's all watch the x factor tonight by woofer3 | 2 years ago |
| Brilliant!! This is a great track but a little restrained for the subject matter. I guess you cannot get any vitriol into JSB. Not like you can with Rock&Roll. I can imagine the medieval Burghers of Brussels commissioning a similar arrangement to show their displeasure at the influx of tourists wishing to see the little urinating boy. Have you come to see the Breugels? The paintings by Bosch? or the Roger Van de Weydens? no! we came to see the the Belgian boy with a corkscrew cock. | |

| Dirty Dozen [cover] by woofer3 | 3 years ago |
| Rock on Johnny, I could listen to this stuff all night | |
| bring it on home[2008] by woofer3 | 3 years ago |
| Great song, Nice pic of one's sexy young mistress. I cannot help feeling this is an outake for the Beatles Abbey Road or maybe the Ruttles. | |
| willin' [cover] by woofer3 | 3 years ago |
| This is an excellent version of the song. I was lucky enough to hear you play it live in Newport when this excellent three piece was on the road. I would like to do a cover of this myself if you could provide me with the backing? | |
| Too Late Now by davidmayer | 3 years ago |
| Thanks again woofster. We are really getting to grips with Logic and find something new every time we use it. | |
| In this Lonely Crowded Town II by davidmayer | 3 years ago |
| Thanks Woofmeister, You are right about the harmony. We tried but it was too high for me and we considered getting a female vocal to add this and may do in future | |
| Too Late Now by davidmayer | 3 years ago |
| Thanks a lot dirigent we appreciate your comments | |
| rise by woofer3 | 3 years ago |
| Brilliant! wasn't this recorded by Boyzspawn or one of those boysey girlsey bands that proliferated at this time in history? | |
| I've Been Waiting II by davidmayer | 3 years ago |
| Yes you did. Carter provided guitar it was a true collaboration. Are you happy with the vocal delivery. Not entirely the same as the opriginal but my voice is at least 3 semitones worse | |
| so cold by woofer3 | 3 years ago |
| Another great song John. what are you taking that produces such a prolific output, and can I have some please | |

| Close Enough To Touch by davidmayer | 3 years ago |
| Thanks. I love the Cash version but I had heard neither this or the 9inch nails when I wrote this in March 2005. I do a very good Cash impression actually. so maybe he was there in the background. | |
| Queen of Pain (Approximately) by davidmayer | 3 years ago |
| Thanks guys. I am very pleased with the result myself thanks to Woofer and Glyn | |
| feedin' your poodle by woofer3 | 3 years ago |
| I've always wondered what Francis was referring to and this song goes some way to explaining. It is obviously something offered in a New Orleans bordello, ..... now where's my zirkon encrusted tweezers Great track. |
