Wud Records Awesome RSS Feed episodes:

October 23, 1986 Band of Georges: Doing Fine
Doing Fine by George.
From Volume IV Side B of the Band of Georges.
Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
Composed circa 7th April 1985.
Recorded August 1986.
Mixed October 1986.
Lifted from cassette April 2025.
Copyright © 1985 Explicit Music.
Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
Fun Facts:
Doing Fine is a song for a few of George's friends.
These characters often seemed to be in unnecessary and trivial trouble with the police.
In the 1980s under thatcher, the police were a lot more aggressive than in later years.
They seemed to want to criminalise everybody who looked different.
Anybody who did look different was likely to be stopped and searched most times they were out after dark.
Naturally many young people found this rather frustrating.
The Boss Dr Rhythm couldn't handle the odd bars of 6/8 and was turned off for those.

October 23, 1986 Band of Georges: Indian Summer
Indian Summer by George (et. al.).
From Volume IV Side B of the Band of Georges.
Music by G. Davies/K. Staple/P. Kay.
Lyrics by K. Staple.
Composed circa 1st April 1985.
Recorded August 1986.
Mixed October 1986.
Lifted from cassette April 2025.
Copyright © 1985 Explicit Music.
Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
Fun Facts:
Indian Summer grew out of the slidey guitar riff in the 'carry me away' section, which was Paul's contribution.
The rest of the guitar came shortly afterwards.
George had not written any lyrics, so he asked Ken to write some.
These are the lyrics Ken wrote.
Indian Summer was performed by Wud and has been for many years a favourite of those who know.
It appears on Wud's Daylight Demo.
George recently made a video of how to play this and we put it up at YouTube.
Unfortunately, he actually played it slightly incorrectly!
A new video rectifying the error may be forthcoming someday.

Fun Facts:
1984 was actually written on New Years Day, 1984, after hitchhiking home from a New Year celebration.
This is a hard rock song in the key of A.
It was a regular in the set of Wud, who did a very good version of it.
Ken would add some strange vocals from the TV series The Prisoner.
The drum machine was unable to do the six bars of 6/8, so it was turned off and back on again.

October 21, 1986 Band of Georges: Leaving Me Here
Leaving Me Here by George.
From Volume III Side B of the Band of Georges.
Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
Composed 18th May 1983.
Recorded July 1986.
Mixed October 1986.
Lifted from cassette March 2025.
Copyright © 1983 Explicit Music.
Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
Fun Facts:
Leaving Me Here was performed by Wud.
Ken could do over-the-top pretty well and did a good job of this song.
The oddly jazzy instrumental break came in part from a guitar lesson George had.
This lesson was his very first introduction to the phrygian mode.
The original idea apparently came from a song by Barbara Streisand.

George's Dad liked the guitar in this one.
We were surprised at how long it was.
There was some sort of accident with a playback, a live track and a punch pedal somewhere in the middle.
It was never performed by a band.

It received a slight lyrical update when George and Senga collaborated on this in 1986.
The chords in the verses are barre chords played in the same positions for each line, but using different shapes.

October 21, 1986 Band of Georges: They Painted Their Bodies
They Painted Their Bodies by George.
From Volume III Side B of the Band of Georges.
Music and lyrics by G. Davies/Y. Crone/S. Steel.
Composed 8th July 1983, updated 5th January 1986.
Recorded July 1986.
Mixed October 1986.
Lifted from cassette March 2025.
Copyright © 1983 Explicit Music.
Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
Fun Facts:
They Painted Their Bodies was the first finished song for The Concept Album.
Although a lot of the music for The Concept Album came fairly quickly, the lyrics did not.
They Painted Their Bodies was composed in a caravan in some woods near Dunsford, on the edge of Dartmoor.
George and Yvonne were ostensibly going to write a lot of songs during the week they stayed there, but only managed the one.
The did manage to enact a ceremony that would feature later on the concept album.
The Concept Album told the tale of some adventurers who embarked upon an epic quest to defeat a terrible evil against insurmountable odds.
The idea came from a computer game on the Apple II called Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord by Andrew Greenberg and Robert Woodhead.
They Painted Their Bodies is in the key of C minor and is the second song for the album.

October 21, 1986 Band of Georges: Two Timer
Two Timer by George.
From Volume III Side B of the Band of Georges.
Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
Composed 1st May 1983, finished 9:20pm.
Recorded July 1986.
Mixed October 1986.
Lifted from cassette March 2025.
Copyright © 1983 Explicit Music.
Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
Fun Facts:
Two Timer is a song that was performed live many times by Rough Terrain.
In their version there was a growly swamp guitar which was quite fun.
The band often used to run the song into So Begins the Crying, which was also in F#m.
Two Timer appears on Rough Terrain's Exit Stage Deaf compilation.
It was written on the same day as That's No Way to Pay a Bodyguard, and has a very different feel to it.
