Considering it’s treated as nothing more than a comedy song (because, to be fair, it is very, very funny), there’s no reason for Horse Outside to be such an incredible tune. I’m actually annoyed that I didn’t think of it for last night’s show.
@imalcolm I once heard an interview with Blindboy where admitted that Spastic Hawk was written in the style of Bill Callahan, which introduced me to the albums of Smog.
Sure, he’s a funny Irish guy with a bag on his head, but he’s also deeply intelligent.
I guess I understand why it’s the case, but it still blows my mind that British Standards documents aren’t freely available from .gov.uk as a download.
They’re literally the documents that outline how things should be done, but you have to pay a vast amount to access any of them.
@DJDarren ISO too. If not fully public sector/research based (preferred) then these sorts of things could be funded by the regulatory bodies that corporations are members of, and the standards made freely available.
I’m just now realising that, for some reason it could well be entirely possible to put together a two hour radio show comprising purely of songs about horses.
@DJDarren remember, you're not allowed to use anything from the infamouse Thin Lizzy album where the only thing left on that's actually live is the crowd noise because the band all went in and overdubbed their parts after the event.
I need to finish putting together tomorrow’s show. I’ve already got it 75% in place, just need to find the last few tracks and put them in order. Easy.
But I can’t muster up the mental energy to do it, because I know that I have all day tomorrow. I love doing the show, I just can’t convince my brane of that.
So rather than do it tonight and have the whole day to whatever tomorrow, I’ll spend this evening worrying that I haven’t done it yet.
