Aaaaand it's another nugget from Derailleur's alternate-Bond-theme project. We found that flipping from "and" to "or" gives you a completely different take on life.

Another very rough mix from Derailleur's Bond Theme Songs project. I can't remember what the official theme song to
Octopussy even was, but I'm sure it didn't rock as hard as ours.

There are 22 James Bond movies (counting the one in production), but there should be more. And these additional nonexistent ones need theme songs. We in Derailleur have taken it upon ourselves to provide the theme songs, hoping the movies will catch up with us.

Wherein I decide to do weird things to my favorite Bowie song as I learn how to use Garage Band.

A Derailleur song with driving guitars, keyboard goofery, and lyrics from the point of view of a peripheral character in
Infinite Jest.

A really poppy Derailleur song, written and sung by our bass player.

A Red Hay cover of the Neil Young song...

An acoustic demo I did a while ago for a Derailleur song called Superhero.

A mess-around-at-practice riff that grew into a song. This one knocks down some walls live.

The very last Red Hay song recorded. This was actually one of our first songs, a very Neil Young-ish guitar thing with a weird time signature. After we'd broken up as a band, we all got together one weekend and started messing with the old country-rock stuff, redoing a lot of it with our new keyboard-torturing habit. This was the most radical rethink, and the best outcome.

My current band,
Derailleur, covering the Smiths. This was recorded live at a show a couple of years ago, right after we discovered the joys of doing weird things to keyboards. I'd like to point out that I'm the one torturing the keyboard this time.

I used to play bass for a band called Red Hay; we had a serious case of Uncle Tupelo Envy, and our catalog showed it. Get Drunk was one of our better songs... we tried really hard to make the rhythm section sound like a semi-truck motor. Recorded in 1998 in a high school band room in Verndale, MN.

Originally just a melody that I'd use when singing nonsense songs to my cats, TiT turned into one of the mellower, more atmospheric Derailleur songs. It's very loosely about the Tom Robbins book
Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates, but really the overall tone is more important than any words.

Yeah, it's pretty much about what you think it is.
