Soooo happy to entertain you my old friend!!
Hmmm for anyone who doesn't know it.. i am day 1AF and alone.. climbing the walls again!!
This is how I entertain myself... Geez I wish I'd got to see these guys live...
some heartfelt lyrics from me today:

I am livin' on Channel Z
Getting nothing but static, getting nothing but static
Static in my attic from Channel Z
Getting nothing but static, getting nothing but static.
Static filling my attic from Channel Z
I don't know---I feel like something's happening
Something good is happening!
I feel love has got to come on, and I want it
Something big and lovely
I want the world to change for me! Gotta get away
Away from Z---Living on the edge of Z
Space junk---laser bombs---ozone holes
Better put up my umbrella!
Giant stacks blowin' smoke
Politicrits pushin' dope
All I know---we've got to change what's happening
Something good could happen
I feel light has got to come through---and I need it
Something big and lovely
I want the world to change for me---gotta get away---away from Z
Living on the edge of Z
Waste dumps---toxic fog---irradiate---and keep it fresh forever
Good old boys---tellin' lies
'Bout time---I got wise
Getting nothing but static
Static in my attic from Channel Z
Gotta tune in---pico waves. Gotta tune out---PCB's
Gotta tune in---market crash. Gotta tune out---polar shift
Gotta tune in---narrow minds. Gotta tune out---space junk
Gotta tune in---bombs. Gotta turn out---atomic lasers falling from the sky
Where's my umbrella?
Gonna shoot that static down the drain
Gonna put that static out of my brain
Gonna put up my antennae. FREE!
Hamburger ads!---Pop up in my head---
On the edge of Aquarius---I'm living on the edge
Secret wars!---Take my money away!
I know I feel a change is happening---Something good will happen
I feel love is coming on strong, and I want it
We can make it happen
I want the world to change for me---gotta get away---away from Z
Living on the edge of---ZZZZZZZZ
Channel Z's all static all day forever---time to open your windows,
Let in better weather

So sorry to hear that Dolph! Pets are important, no matter how small.. When our budgie died we had to have a little funeral with flowers and prayers in the garden.. The kids took it really hard. Hope Hip & Jas are feeling better soon. That bubbly song was so sweet!

Limers, I think Amy is genuinely talented.. Blame the media for blowing up her 'self-destructive but sexy so it's ok' image. Hope she grows outta doing dumb stuff & survives to grow into her talent some day!

Good news from you Tear, that you are AF again! Lets stay in touch & stay strong!!

I?m hitting wobbly hour now so forgive me if i get carried away... here is another cheery one from me:

And something more soulful from them.. (lyrics below - turn this one up) - Two Shoes
[ame=

]YouTube - The Cat Empire - Two Shoes[/ame]
Two Shoes:
One day one woman asked him
what do you to survive?
he said oh my dear listen here
and this is what he cried

On my feet I wear two shoes for dancing
dancing to be free
my feet theyre paying tribute to
the Bobby Marley legacy

My knees theyve got some cuts and bruises
from skating all my days
when im skating with my friends
my troubles drift away

I say my legs theyre wearing baggy pants
I like to move around
cos getting down and jumping up
these are some good things that I found

Aeehhhiiiaaaaa
boom shak the empire be rising
Aeehhhiiiaaaaa
boom shak we making some lovin
Aeehhhiiiaaaaa
boom shak the greedy men running
Aeehhhiiiaaaaa
boom shak got two shoes for dancin

My waist its got a slinky belt
with a clip thats quick to open
because loving is the sweetest thing
and from my waist it happen

And my stomachs got some tasty food
thats making me feel good
cos sharing some meals is something
i wish the world could do

And my chest it wears a singlet
ah my chest it beating proud
my chest suggest I am a man
that no institution can knock down
And around my neck is superstition
hanging from a chain
because ive got my gods but in the end
I make my own way

CHORUS

My mouth its got a great big smile
that shows some great big teeth
to friends it brings a happiness
and to enemies it means defeat

And my eyes theyve got some vision
that can see through many lies
ah my eyes they look for better things
the better things to see in life

And my ears are wearing head phones
that do play my favourite songs
not music im told to like
but the songs that make me dance along

Cos on my feet are shoes for dancing
dancing to be free
my feet theyre paying tribute to
the bobby marley legacy

Hello Hello - (turn vol down a little) this is one of their fairly early hits.. Hope I get to see them live someday.. They really know how to work a crowd

No video for this one I'm afraid as I couldn't be arsed making one!! The tune is from the same entitled album called Serotonality

Graham Wiggins (b. New York, 1962) is an American musician. He plays the didgeridoo, keyboards, melodica, sampler, and various percussion instruments with his group, the Boston, Massachusetts-based Dr. Didg. He holds a D.Phil in solid-state physics from Oxford University, where he earned his nickname while testing his didgeridoo in the Clarendon physics laboratory.

Wiggins was born in New York to British parents from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, and grew up in New York. Although his first instruments were piano and horn, he first taught himself to play the didgeridoo while a physics student at Boston University in 1982, after hearing Warren Senders demonstrating a cardboard-tube didgeridoo as part of a "world music" concert series in Boston. He graduated from Boston University in 1985, relocating to Oxford, England for postgraduate study.

In order to earn extra money there to complete his doctorate he also performed as a busking didgeridoo player. In 1988 he formed with guitarist Martin Cradick the core of Outback, a band that blended Australian tribal sounds with modern music. He obtained a record deal before completing his thesis. Following the dissolution of that group in 1991, he spent two months in early 1992 living in the Aboriginal community of Galiwinku on Elcho Island, off the coast of Arnhem Land, in Australia's Northern Territory, where he studied the advanced traditional didgeridoo techniques of the area. With the exception of a few songs such as "Brolga," Wiggins' compositions are generally not based primarily on traditional Aboriginal structures, but instead on the use of the instrument's percussive, rhythmic, and melodic capabilities.

In 1993 Wiggins formed the group Dr. Didg, with which he still performs. In 1994 he began using the technique of live sampling, which became the foundation of the Dr. Didg album Out of the Woods (1994).

After 15 years living in Oxford, Wiggins moved back to Boston in the spring of 2000.[2]

In 1983 Wiggins invented a keyed version of the didgeridoo, which allows it to be played melodically somewhat in the manner of an ophicleide, a keyed brass instrument which Wiggins was able to try at the Bate Collection, a musical instrument museum at Oxford University's Faculty of Music in St Aldate's, Oxford. The first prototype was made out of a cardboard wrapping paper tube and had first only one, then four valves, allowing the instrument to play a total of five distinct pitches. He used it in only one concert, after which it fell apart. He then made the keyed didgeridoo he currently uses in 1990, using the machine tools at the Clarendon Laboratory at Oxford University. It is made from weng? (an African hardwood) with brass hardware. It has eight keys, which allows for the playing of nine different pitches. He unveiled it publicly for the first time on the British national television program called Tomorrow's World. The instrument may be heard on several Dr. Didg tracks.
