Live or Let Die by COBRA!

COBRA! — Mon, 19 May 2008 07:04:24 -0800

Aaaaand it's another nugget from Derailleur's alternate-Bond-theme project. We found that flipping from "and" to "or" gives you a completely different take on life.

Octopussy (rough mix) by COBRA!

COBRA! — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 07:39:18 -0800

Another very rough mix from Derailleur's Bond Theme Songs project. I can't remember what the official theme song to Octopussy even was, but I'm sure it didn't rock as hard as ours.

Assasins Never Cry (rough mix) by COBRA!

COBRA! — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 15:19:27 -0800

There are 22 James Bond movies (counting the one in production), but there should be more. And these additional nonexistent ones need theme songs. We in Derailleur have taken it upon ourselves to provide the theme songs, hoping the movies will catch up with us.

Pemulis by COBRA!

COBRA! — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 10:50:56 -0800

A Derailleur song with driving guitars, keyboard goofery, and lyrics from the point of view of a peripheral character in Infinite Jest.

Rock n Roll Radio by COBRA!

COBRA! — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 05:27:18 -0800

A really poppy Derailleur song, written and sung by our bass player.

Superhero (demo) by COBRA!

COBRA! — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 08:14:01 -0800

An acoustic demo I did a while ago for a Derailleur song called Superhero.

The Million-Pound Shithammer by COBRA!

COBRA! — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 05:06:05 -0800

A mess-around-at-practice riff that grew into a song. This one knocks down some walls live.

Death of a Disco Dancer by COBRA!

COBRA! — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 11:36:29 -0800

My current band, Derailleur, covering the Smiths. This was recorded live at a show a couple of years ago, right after we discovered the joys of doing weird things to keyboards. I'd like to point out that I'm the one torturing the keyboard this time.

Today Is Tomorrow by COBRA!

COBRA! — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 08:53:22 -0800

Originally just a melody that I'd use when singing nonsense songs to my cats, TiT turned into one of the mellower, more atmospheric Derailleur songs. It's very loosely about the Tom Robbins book Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates, but really the overall tone is more important than any words.

Vice City by COBRA!

COBRA! — Fri, 30 Jun 2006 11:35:22 -0800

Yeah, it's pretty much about what you think it is.
