The Spill's Ninja Stealth Undercover Reporter um reports


Some of you may have read on the motheRRship that webcore was going down to play at his allotment garden's annual open house today.

Given this week's topic, I rolled on a healthy coating of spystick and went down to see what I could capture surreytip... suratep...stirruptish..., well capture on my little mini-video recorder.

It's a song he wrote himself, and is sung here accompanied by his son Kevin on guitar. In the background prepubescent boys, representing the innocence of youth lost, kick a football, symbolizing Mother Earth and man's struggle to understand opera.

    That's a stealthy video. Should I hover my computer screen over a candle?

    In the past I've given up on trying to upload it directly to the blog and put it on YouTube first

    What you could do is put the movie in the dropbox, and I can compress it on my computer.

    eJay, while I was waiting for it to upload I used a little utilkity for converting to iPod and got one the was small enough to upload.

    Have done that

    Is it ok? If not, full video is in ejay-tin folder so it doesn't clog up RRdropbox.

    It might not be needed now - the ipod version I put up seems to work. Let me know.

    Yep works fine, another RR name reveals its face. I can definitely hear some XTC in here. The kids really add another dimension to the performance.

    Brilliant. Would they like to come and play at our allotment? All we get is the buzz of grass-cutters ...

    What a smashing film. But Webcore & Son will never make it big unless they invest in some hipper stools...

    Brilliant ... :)

    Although, I'm a bit worried about the frets on sonofwebcoreson's guitar; does he have the neck specially strengthened cos it looks like he could crush the whole thing going for an ambitious diminished 7th.

    Do you have a band name for the Allotment Sessions tour? I dare say you've thought of a few ....

    The Beet Route Boys
    Green Day
    Shed 7
    Deep Purple Sprouting

    ... I'll get me trug ....

    Y'see this is what I've been saying for years... allotment tours are the way to go.. no lights, no cables, no speaker columns... just plain unplugged vocal/acoustic excellence from webcore and son with trees and shrubs and wasps for the 'going green'-concert theme.

    @Tatanka... yep I have it on good authority that Webcore's son has the necks and fretboards specially reinforced using aircraft grade truss rods ;o)

    Brilliant video!

    This could be the start of a new series.
    There was unplugged
    The blackcab sessions
    now, the allotment tapes (although kids might well ask what a tape is)
