about

'This is the first concept album in the Chinese Whisper Mill trilogy. The album tells the story of Jarry Bowels who is a stool higherer, he goes around fixing wonky stools and chairs. His career and life are completely thrown into question when The Corporation's new invention rolls out; the beermat. Jarry loses his job and has to deal with a world which no longer needs the profession he dedicated all his life to.'

That would be what I should be writing if I actually finished this thing, but I've hastily finished some crappy tunes and released them. There was another Jarry tune called 'In A world Full Of Chairs' but I've lost it due to harddrive crashes.

Avocado Keith was intended to be the second character in the trilogy but he suffered the same fate: procrastination.

The Spank song was written by me and Mike Edward (mostly Mike) one day.
