Countdown

Ok great day worked with Will and Simon in brixton studio Weirdos sounds fucking amazing so too does new track and I would share a snippet but there's no link to an audio bit in these ruddy blogs so I'll have to think of another way and it's friday night so I'm not going to look too hard just yet but it is a lovely track and you'll have to wait until it is crisply finished but we did rehearse Lion in the Morning Sun which is sounding awesome and we'll play it on the Paolo tour and play it tomorrow at our gig in Oxted which will be fun as it's Halloween and I've given up using full stops because let's face it they are pointless which is ironic because they are actually indeed a point but let's have fun and finish the blog with one.

Imagine if I'd finished with a comma the full stop would have been so pissed off,

14 days to go!

So this is a morning blog on the day after events of the previous day have already happened. What WaTp really need to invent is a time machine although Simon claims he's already got one but it looks suspiciously like a toaster.

Captain Beefcake and myself spent 11.30 hrs in the studio yesterday and we were putting the finishing touches to the new song Bacteria although the title may change to Sinner is a Winner and it's very cosmic in breadth. That sounds rather pretentious, as does the word "rather" but then I am mean green mother from outta space and I'm bad do do do.

On the left as you can see is a picture of Will in the curry house at midnight after our sesh. Red = Danger.

Back to studio today to finish some stuff and maybe I'll remember to bring the music home with me for a change.

Whassssssssup general Peeps and Peepesses, I mean, COME ON DUDES! WHAT IS UP!? Welcome to another dire installment of blog-a-dog snog the hog as brought to you by Hellmans Mayonnaise and Colonel Tildred of the 51st Riflemans Brigade.

I didn't meet the other half of La Roux today but Captain Correlli did and told me that Mr La Roux wants to work with us which is great news so we'll be writing with the french fox in December when we return from the nonsensical adventure with big man P-Nut. I know mr La Roux from my days years ago when he helped write and record with moi and my old band of bandits from Kubb-a-dub-dub.

So tomorrow Captain C and I will be in the studio doing some more whizzles on the kizzles and we've written a new song called Bacteria though the title might change and I might put a brief snippet up soon to keep anyone whose faintly interested in our creativity ensconced upon on the good ship WaTp wapeters waters.

I also just managed to win the 1st division with Luton which is very exciting indeed and it only took me 2.30 hrs of my life to achieve. I feel so fulfilled now. I also just ate pasta and pesto which was revolting and now my flat-mates are cooking steak and chips for themselves and I can smell the aromas wafting gently toward me, cascading delicately betwixt my nostrils like satin sheets covered in rose petals.

I also played the piano a lot today and can now sing (warble) and play Let There Be Love, My Baby Just Cares For Me, I Got A Woman and What I Say? (Raymondo Charliest) so I'm very happy and the rash is going thank you very much in case you were at all concerned nice people.

Day 2 Blog!

So another exciting day not had stuck in my hole in Brixton trying to do a remix of Addicted, a tune of ours about drugs, heart-ache, love and so-forth. I think it sounds tremendous and I've sent it via email to our captain who is on a train bound for supper somewhere so he can castigate my mix with vile venomous language once he's listened, which is his wont these days on light public transport.

I also signed a 3 year agreement to keep renting our studio so at least I have no more money to spend for the next three years. In fact I haven't had any money to spend for the last three years so nothings changed much. Except the weather. Which changes daily and unannounced.

It is my flat-mates thirtieth birthday tonight and I shall have a drink with him somewhere nearby so I can get home safely.

I also watched a David Attenborough program on mammals last night and I'm beginning to think that aliens really do exist. It only took me two glasses of cider to start that theory off and I was away with the fairies imagining life on mars.

Will and I are off to meet one half of La Roux tomorrow. That sounds a bit odd. I wonder which half it will be. Anyway, that's what we're doing to further this shambles of an outfit but I have absolute faith that the meeting will a tremendous success. However I'm not really sure why we're going. Did the chicken ever need a reason?

First Blog For WaTp!

I'm going to start a blog and it begins here after the line that is blank.

My name is Tilley and I play keyboards in a peculiar band called Will and the People. Some people think we're absolute balls (which is fine), and some people think we're quite good by today's standards but while most bands write about heart-ache, love, drugs and so-forth we write about salamanda's, insanity and road works (as well as writing about drugs, love, heart-ache and so-forth).

And now we're about to embark on an adventure through Europe with Paolo Nutini covering 4,000 miles in a broken camper van with three wheels and a dog named Gypsy hired from my good mate Craig who is Welsh and sings Welsh songs about tampons loudly when he's drunk.

As a quick update to date Sony dropped us recently but we felt that wasn't the end of the world so we pretended to be happy and decided to do things on our own because we enjoyed making music as a band and stealing other band's instruments so I then got on the blower to Donnie (who plays guitar with Paolo) and asks Donnie can we come on the Paolo tour and Donnie then asks Paolo if we can come on the tour and Paolo says yes to Donnie, so then Donnie phones me back and tells me Paolo says yes and I says well that's great news then I'll tell the band and Donnie says ok see you later and have a good day and I say you have a good day too Donnie and that was how it happened.

I also asked Lily Allen on facebook if we could join her on tour but she didn't reply probably because she doesn't know who I am and thinks I'm a stalker anyways which I probably am but I did tell her of a nice pub outside Bath where she could have lunch so maybe she thinks I'm not so bad after all.

So there. That's us I guess.

I shall write on this blog about our preparations as much as I can seeing as I have very little else to do except stalk Lily Allen and irritate a nasty rash I have on my bottom and besides very few people even know that a Will and the People exist in this mighty cosmic universal conundrum that is life life life.
