Folk today
Wed, 21 May 2008 12:26:25 -0700 (PDT)

Sat, 17 May 2008 06:57:52 -0700 (PDT)
Sorry about the hype. My propoasal is much more modest.
I'm a wannabe who cannot sing, no money for demos and
hates performing live.
So, apart from chartered accountancy next best thing may
be get other people to provide vocals for my backing tracks,
put them up on iTunes/whatever and give them a cut of any
