QuoteHowever, a fella as talented as Blunders can probably play drums, sing AND simul-headpat+stomach-rub. Whilst eating a hob-nob.

Having been to a few of Blunders 'clinic' appearances (that's drum clinics, oooohh matron) I'll vouch for him being able to do a very, very mad version of the stomach rub/head pat thing based on trying to show people how to play in different time signatures with each limb!!!!!!!

I'm looking forward to his take on Andy's 'drum-machine-with-broken-pattern-selector" bit from TDL. ;)

I love that bit, and would still like to know if Andy played it straight through when they recorded it or if it was edited.

Come on guys. A magician never gives away his tricks.   ;)
It's not the winning or even taking part. It's the arsing about that counts.

Again, from Blunders previous work, I can't see that sort of thing catching him out too much - he did this thing with around 50 tv themes and him playing different time signatures and speeding up/slowing down and it was brilliant.

Oh I don't doubt it. ;)
I should also say that when I do see him play it live, after the first three or four changes I won't have a clue if he's playing it 'right'! :D

Hoorah for return to Milliontown.... Wasnt a fan of EIMA or Decs Vocals (too light for me) though I understand the vocals will remain. Am excited by this news. Absolutely adored Milliontown... One of my fave albums of last 20 years.  :D

I like the different aspects of both Dec's and Jem's vocals. Dec may well handle some of the vocal duties on F*3, but I don't anticipate the album being as Dec heavy as EIMA. Jem likes to tinker with the good ship Frost*ington. I half expect him to sample his eldest son's voice saying various things, then piecing phrases together (backed by sheep and lawnmowers, naturally).

I'm very happy listening to either Frost* album, so I'm not really to bothered about the general direction of this next release :D .

On the subject of vocals, I think Jem is a very underrated singer, and should get a lot more respect for his vocal abilities ;)
Broadband! A whole 2.5MB of it!

Indeed. I'd go as far as to say his vocals sound better live than recorded.
