Through a fairly convoluted process I managed to get my hands on a load of old photos recently and have started scanning them and putting them on Flickr. Most of them are Sink & Stupids and there are some really decent shots on show. Worth checking out.

And while we’re on the subject, I’ve had a ton of other Sink photos on Flickr for a long time already. Starting to build up Big Ray and Stupids snaps too, but nothing to show just yet.

Most of this site is backward-looking. This is not something I’m proud of, it’s entirely due to the fact that my musical output has slowed down since K-Line split up and my daughter, Amy was born. There’s more music in my past than there is in my present. Also, I’m spending more and more of my precious ‘non-family/non-work’ time on my photography and less of it on music. BUT, I do still have one iron in the fire, namely You Disgust Me. Initially the hope was that this band would take over from K-Line, but in the event the loss of two drummers in succession put paid to any swift taking-up of the reigns. We did however, find time to record 7 songs before the last drummer, James (from K-Line), departed in mysterious cirumstances and Roop and I have finally finished all of the recording and have got some proper mixes together. I’ll post all 7 songs in one slab right here when we’re done (shouldn’t be more than a couple of weeks), but for now, here’s the best of the first lot.

I’m proud of the way it’s come out and I hope you like it. Lyrics below.

Well Dressed Criminal

There was no revelation, no star to point the way.
Now we’re tasting the failure every single day.
There’s no community, no sustainability
There’s lies and pay-offs and CCTV.
You turn round everything that’s real in life
So you can dominate.

You’re just a well dressed criminal
Brush up good, but you don’t care at all
Well! Dressed! Thief!

Where’s our protection?
Where’s our government?
They’re selling us out just to pay the rent.
No real opposition to the business religion.
You stole the future and we can’t buy it back.
You turn the natural order round.
You make us weak and you dominate.

Fuck you you’re just a criminal.
Fuck you you’re just a thief.
No real opposition.
To the business religion.
Thief! Thief!
