after some universe establishing harmonics...
it's a grey morning. horsemouth wrote most of this last night.
horsemouth wanted to demo up some songs for the next album (and so they did - two years ago). the next album has been slow in coming but until it comes we at least have the demos.
on the first day (two years ago today) the only track they recorded was jai guru (go guru!). it started off with horsemouth and howard busking their way through across the universe by the beatles (well ok no it starts with some universe establishing open strings on the 12 string). there's a sort of tyrannosaurus rex influence to it.
horsemouth thinks it is saveable.
broadly horsemouth tells a story where musicians of bremen volume one is a joint album (even though the songs are mostly howard's songs with a few originals but mostly covers brought by horsemouth). horsemouth plays a lot on that record (and sings a bit) and is (mostly) pleased by what he gets done.
musicians of bremen volume two is a howard solo album with a few parts played by horsemouth (guitar parts on noah and blackwall tunnel, he sings the main vocal on noah and that's his lot).
volume three was effectively a horsemouthfolk solo album (though with a higher proportion of howard's contributions - two of the tracks are improvs, two are guitar instrumentals from a previous recording session (though howard added sound effects to one and edited the second), howard recorded and produced it all.
volume four was an attempt to do another joint album - once again there are more howard songs on it (howard tends to write more material) but horsemouth is proud of his contributions.

'30 days hath september...'
interestingly there is a monday 1st of july (like there was a monday 1st of january and monday 1st of april).
jan 31 + feb 29 (leap year) + march 31 = 91 days perfectly divisible by 7 into 13 weeks
april 30 + may 31 + june 30 = 91 days perfectly divisible by 7 into 13 weeks
thereafter it is fucked
july 31 + august 31 + september 30 = 92 and
october 31 + november 30 + december 31 = 92 and so the first day of 2025 is a wednesday (because a leap year advances the day of the week by 2 days wheras an ordinary year only advances it by 1.
horsemouth has made use of the 30 days hath september rhyme to do this (and his dore abbey calendar). he has seen a way of counting 30 and 31 day months on the knuckles (but he can't remember it). the how to do the 9 times table on your fingers he knows.
