I guess we know all three London based musicians now. Who are the other two?

Then again this all comes from Wikipedia so who knows.

Those guys don't have their own Wiki entries so they must be nobodies. :lol:

Maybe we should create one for them.

I wouldn't have guessed "Life of a Thousand Crimes" as being a McCulloch/Sergeant only song based on what I've heard.

That's funny when I saw it was a Mac/Will composition I thought ah that makes sense.

Really? With that intro?

by **black francis** » Mon Oct 12, 2009 5:06 pm

It's the most interesting song on the album so I figured Will had to have some input on it.

I'm not gonna hold the intro against it.

I see Mac is soley responsible for two of the worst tracks on the album.

but at least i'd have to accept the solo album gone wrong theory. sop are those three the three producers that werre talked about long ago?

I know it's off Wikipedia, but is that the definitive listing of writers (as in what is printed on the insert of the album) - reads like an episode of Heroes or similar American TV series (Friends, etc). My MP3 download of The Fountain track lists in the properties as Jay Hoggard as the composer. Who is he? This chap? A mistake in the listing? Needs investigation.

Hey, are those the trees off the Evergreen cover?

i see the wiki-thing says the up and coming Word (november) review is 'unfavourable'. oh dear. i think andrew collins has written something but dunno if its an interview or a review - haven't seen it yet.

There's a review of last night's (?) gig at Wolverhampton. See it was usual suspects with a smidging of new tracks.

Maybe a sample was involved?

US TV shows are known for using a long list of writers. Friends being an example (I think). Over in the UK, one or two is the norm.

Aah, that might be it.
