How I love our singular fan

Doris? Yes I know it seems odd that we're speaking to you directly and not through the usual cryptic messages but I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you.

I know it's hard for you to actually use a computer, let alone check up on every single news post that we make, especially with that comatose state that you're in.

I just wanted to give you a little reassurance in your usage of this site and a short message that also goes out to all our other... well just you

If any of your knitting pals want us to, for example, care about that horrid company tearing down the orphanage to make way for a puppy torturing facility just post a comment and the ego trip that follows will surely help it in some way or form.

Love Joe

The Tom Thiele mission has begun.

For more information provide me with ego trip.

Put two fifteen-year-olds in a room with a microphone and a guitar, and this, embarrassingly, is the result. Cover of the Green Day song.

An ode to one's brethren.

An abysmal mess attempting to merge Jonti Picking's badger song and The Time Warp.

Not nearly as fascist as it sounds. Or badass.

A fanboyish series around three very real people.

by Christopher Fraser

Audio

A cover of the Yann Tiersen track, featured on the soundtrack for the rather excellent film "Amelie".

Conceived in a classroom, re-imagined by an obsessive and sung to by two people who couldn't sing, a track around backwards Russia.

Norman Glenchsnap

Norman Glenchsnap
Songwriting Genius

Norman Glenchsnap is the lovechild of Christopher Fraser. He is a twelve-year-old Yugoslavian boy who was transferred to this country in March 2006 after his mother - whom Chris had had a brief affair with in the year 1973 (the year of the Great Yugoslavian War That Never Really Happened) - died. As an expression of gratitude, Norman has vowed to write songs about anyone Christopher has ever met. The resulting product of his mind is often deeply disturbing, not to mention a trifle immature. But then, for a boy whose favourite band is Busted, what do you expect?

WARNING: Some of the following songs contain mild sexual references and the occasional personal insult. Proceed at your own discretion.

To download any of the following songs, right-click on the appropriate titles and select "Save Target As...."

Norman's tribute to Simon Bamforth, set to the tune "Gay Bar" by Electric Six.

Norman's tribute to Rory McGee, set to the tune "Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65)

Norman's tribute to Amelia Phipps, imprisoned in a three chord sequence. Because she likes indie, and that's all any of it is.

Norman's tribute to Rachel Bassett, set to the tune "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes.

Norman's tribute to Joseph O'Brien, set to the tune "Let It Be" by the Beatles.

The Sieg Heil Song

This song is what I believe to be the exact point where one is scraping the bottom of the barrel of talent, clutching at the last dregs of anything remotely interesting.

This song is bad.
Really, really bad.

It was a bad idea, had a bad backing track and really bad vocals. The only consolation, in fairness, is that it required barely any work. It's even worse than the Badger Time Warp, and that was crap.

In fact, hear for yourself.

To download the song, right-click the following link and select "Save Target As...."

The I Love You Song

I Love You shouldn't have ever been recorded. A shortish sound clip featuring Bunnyreaper professing his unrequited love to Pianoabuser whilst he was out of the room, I Love You is both funny and disturbing. A good analogy for the rest of the site, then.

WARNING: The following track contains one mild reference to genitalia.
