Bee Gees Rhythm Machine

thelittleones — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 13:45:34 +0000

I am wondering why toy makers don’t make interesting toy instruments anymore. I was doing a bit of surfing last week and I stumbled on the Bee Gees Rhythm Machine. The toy was released in 1978 and features a rhythm section and an octave wheel. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it.

If you are interested in checking out some more interesting toy instruments you should visit the miniorgan website.

A Little Update

thelittleones — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:33:34 +0000

Sorry it’s been a while since we posted any news. We’ve been busy writing in good old Uncle Lee’s studio. Things have been going well. It’s scary to sometimes create in a vacuum but we are loving the direction the new songs are going. We have some big news to come so stay tuned.

Don Letts and The Punk Days

Very interesting snippet with Don Letts and the punk days. It’s amazing how two worlds can meet.

It’s been a while-RIP MJ

It seems like ages since we last posted something on our blog. Apologies, apologies to everyone. We have been busy in the studio writing and working on demos. I have to say that we are all very happy with the way things have been going. It’s a good feeling when you leave the space and want to play the new stuff we all worked on. A lot of things have happened since we last posted. The death of Michael Jackson is a very sad one for us. The band grew up on Michael and with his passing is an end to an era of music that won’t be matched. He is truly our king of pop. Despite your thoughts on his personal problems, you can’t deny the impact he has made on music and his true talent. It may be time to retire Oh, MJ from our set.

Happy Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day to you fathers out there.

We thought we’d share this interesting quote from Eric Clapton from an Esquire Magazine interview in 2007,

‘Up until I became a father, it was all about self-obsession. But then I learned exactly what it’s all about: the delight of being a servant. Olivier wrote that the greatest thing you could aspire to in life was to be a good servant.’

Oh and here’s a fitting video from Cat Stevens…

Floating Action

We just want to say how much we are enjoying the self-titled record from Floating Action. Really great grooves and sounds. The songs are the perfect soundtrack for our day. If you haven’t checked out the record then click here

Here is a great youtube link where they are performing ‘To Connect’ at Lake Ponchatrain Beach in New Orleans.
