May I con-join you?

Puff...pant...wheeze...sorry Im late everyone. Stopped off for sweets. Getting excited by the new album. Sam and I are doing a track together and have been researching conjoined twins, with the aim of singing a duet. We have settled for the classic Chang and Eng Bunker. Not only are they perhaps the most well known, but also they have quite a beautiful story behind them too. Two very different characters. It will most likely be a "Jimmy Binks " sounding affair. Stripped and accoustic. Will gentle harmonies.

Le Greek. C'EST FREAK!!

Getting really stuck into a couple of collaborations for this project now. A big freaks workout with Brainy Brown and his travelling circus of technology and a bit of work on Joe’s track about Hephaestus.

Hephaestus was the blacksmith to the gods and was a decent enough guy despite being thrown from a cliff as a baby and suffering subsequent lameness (He is often portrayed as having 2 backwards feet – I doubt he looked forward to his P.E lessons). Sadly his wife left him for the God of War. Typical.

It struck me that the bizarrely deformed Hephaestus and the snake-headed Medusa were basically ‘freaks’ of a sort (apologies to any snake-headed women reading this blog) and that our fantastic album title is now beginning to work with more coherence than we may have anticipated.

I wonder if anyone else has picked a freaky Greek (or a Greeky freak?).
