"5th March 2008" is a ruff song idea/sketch without any lyrics (as of yet)



"Song004" is just a ruff idea I quickly recorded, while I had this concept floating about in my head. It's nothing exceptional for sure. Early Feb '08



"Helen" idea, remix, early February 2008 - still warts and all, and still trying to get the hang of using "the Thing".



VERY ruff first mix of an experiment, "Helen", warts-n-all, early Feb '08.

Mostly Harmless

Douglas Adams, "Mostly Harmless", Heinemann, London, 1992.

Mostly Harmless is a novel by Douglas Adams and the fifth book of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, the "Fifth book in the increasingly inaccurately named 'Hitchhiker's Trilogy'".

(Link)

The title derives from a joke early in the series, when Arthur Dent discovers that the entry for Earth in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy consists, in its entirety, of the word "Harmless." His friend Ford Prefect, a contributor to the Guide, assures him that the next edition will contain the article on Earth that Ford has spent the last 15 years researching—somewhat cut due to space restrictions, but still an improvement. The revised article, he eventually admits, will simply read "Mostly harmless."

So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish

Douglas Adams, "So Long, And Thanks For All the Fish", Pan, London, 1985.

The fourth book in the Hitch-Hiker Trilogy.

(Link)

This fourth in the series has a darker tone than the previous three. Its title is the message left by the dolphins when they departed Planet Earth just before it was demolished to make way for a hyperspatial express route, as described in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Life, the Universe and Everything

Douglas Adams, "Life, The Universe and Everything", Pan, London, 1982.

Third of the Five book trilogy of "The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy".

(Link)

I still love Douglas Adams stuff... this is the third of the orignal series, which keeps pace with the same feel/tone/humour. Love it, ya!

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Douglas Adams, "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe", Pan, London, 1982.

The second of the five books of the Hitch-Hikers's Trilogy.

(Link)

Enjoy it, continue to enjoy it, will always enjoy it. Douglas Adams was a genius! Love the concept of "MIlliways"! Yay! \o/
