That Live Bed Show vs Suffocate was hilarious, fascinating, annoying and scary in equal measure. Like AI, except not as depressing. Actually, the lyrics for both songs are quite desperate and depressing...

You sure like the "Funny how it all falls away" bit in Help The Aged...is that a nod to its crowd-engagement on the recent tour?

Good work on Dirty World. I will never get M.Webber's loathing of it. With your edit, we're talking about a hit in the summer of '97 that stays in the top twenty for a whole month!

Bit of background:

I originally made "Being Followed Home" and "Help the Aged" years ago and possibly shared them on an earlier incarnation of this forum but they were since lost. These versions were completed from memory the other day so the repeated "Funny how it all falls away" line originated over 20 years ago.

I did something with "Party Hard" years ago but can't remember what. Now that AI can do a reasonable job of separating out a vocal, I decided that it was a good idea to put vocals over some of the never-ending instrumental parts of the Stretch and Vern remix. 

"It's a Dirty World" is a brand new effort based on discussions on this forum. 

Back in the day, someone pointed out that there are vague similarities between "Live Bed Show" and "They Suffocate at Night". This was my attempt to see how it would sound using the instrumental from one and the vocals from the other. I think that the verses work ok but the chorus really does sound out of place. 

Anyway, these weren't as badly received as I thought so maybe next time I have a spare hour, I can attempt something else. I did think about an extended version of "Weeds" the other day...

These are great! The Suffocate at Night/Live Bed Show mash-up reminded me of the LOVE project from The Beatles.

Weeds does sound incredible as an instrumental. Don't forget the ending was released without the segue into Weeds II on the promo CD.
