Ok...time to 'fess up (as I believe is the vernacular across the pond). A few days ago I put a track up called "Danny Steel - Private Eye". The blurb with it said I was playing with other people. Which is true... Except they didn't know I was playing with them and there was a 30+ year time-lag. Morally questionable or circumstantially justifiable? Read on.....

This is a crappy recording of a song I wrote some time ago about sertraline. It's me on the piano and JaiMahodara singin'. recorded on a mad old-school sony minidisc.

A short song with some talking. Two tracks of ukulele, a drum loop, one canned organ blast, distortion. It's 8 degrees outside and the song reflects that. Recorded by The Grandma Sylvias, January 2010.

One or two regulars will know I recently uploaded a "reimagination" of Bowie's "Space Oddity". I legitimately downloaded the multitrack and had a whale of a time. It's not a remix and it's not using samples in the conventional sense - it's.....a new recording. Since then I've been idly musing on what would happen if something like that was actually commercially released - I mean, who owns the recording......?
