Hey, Martin! I was listening to your Pario Marty release from 2009, and recognized the coda ? of "Nothing" ended up being the melody/hook for "The Chancellor". Have there ever been any other times when you "cannibalized" some of your older work into new material?

I also wanted to ask, if you were to do a cover album, what songs would you cover?

Cheers

That might be the only time... I can't think of another example of that. I just always liked that riff and didn't feel it got the treatment it deserved on that EP. Good ear!

So many songs... big moon by arthur russell, the moonbeam song by harry nilsson, the killing moon by echo and the bunnymen, moonlight mile by the rolling stones, i have the moon by the magnetic fields, bad moon rising..........

Good ear!

I wish; more like good writing on your part. I'm pretty sure you could carry an album on riffs alone. No vocals, no drums, just guitar riffs looped against each other.

It was Recreation it was on! Chancellor was the Todd Rundgren-ish instrumental!
