Friday 21/08/09 was the final Mutant Music at The Flying Duck. The fantastic Adopted As Holograph filled in at the last minute for Jacob Yates And The Pearly Gate Lock Pickers who were unable to perform. Here they are with a wee word and an exclusive download from their Kitchen Bar set at Mutant Music.
“Our first time in the kitchen was a pleasure. Hot tunes, a warm atmosphere and plenty of cold, cold beer.
This is a wee ditty ’bout a soldier who decided to become a woman – true story!

Thanks to Splendid Dead Collective for having us!”

The Paraffins: Mutant Music Session
Posted in Bootlegs / Free Downloads, Mutant Music on August 20, 2009 by SMWIf you missed The Paraffins when they played at Mutant Music last month, never fear because Billy Paraffin has recorded a special Mutant Music session exclusively for splendiddead.com.
The four tracks were “All first takes, quickly taped on an ancient 8-track cassette machine. Recorded in a rusty, corrugated iron shed in darkest Ayrshire one sweaty afternoon in July 2009 for Mutant Music.”

Chris Devotion / Mutant Music 17/07/09
Posted in Bootlegs / Free Downloads, Mutant Music, The Elvis Suicide on August 4, 2009 by SMWHello there, how are you? Oh well, I am sure it will clear up. Anyway here is the set I played at the penultimate Mutant Music at The Flying Duck.
I hardly ever do acoustic gigs, mostly I spend my time owning stages with my rock and roll band The Elvis Suicide. However, now and again duty calls (like my set at the Springsteen night for Splendid Dead) and when duty calls, Devotion answers. Or lets it go to voicemail, it all depends how I’m feeling.
Whenever I pull out old glory (that’s my acoustic guitar, not my penis, I call him “The Captain”) it’s usually because I feel inspired by the greats of country music (Williams, Cash, Cyrus).
Of course, when I wrote down the set list for this gig I realised that the above routine leads to a wrist-slashing smorgasbord of misery-guts songs, with a subject matter that ranges from death, woman troubles, getting stuck talking to annoying cunts at parties, woman troubles, economic woes, woman troubles and the process of writing songs (about woman troubles).
Basically the stuff that all the best songs are written about.
Enjoy.
When I’m Gone
Center Of Attention
Broken Man
This Must Be A Dream
Let Down
I Aint Got No Home
That Look In Your Eye
(Please) Dont Go!
Everybody Knows That I Like A Good Time
Song For A Girl
Going Back To Loneliness
You Shouldn’t Be With Him, You Should Be With Me
Don’t Worry Honey, We Can Still Be Friends
Slippin’ And Slidin’

(I’m also going to make him take full responsibility for the Back To The Future-related coda).
