2. Killing Time - Dan Foden (@dantruckerfoden)

Did Google’s priority inbox put my 1 minute wonder at the bottom of your to-do list or did it suck THAT much? ;) I have another one for your collection. Dan Foden of Great Shakes fame just came over and recorded this in my garage… Mark.

Hi James,

So I actually had an evening off tonight and thought I’d have a pop at a one minute wonder. I’m way too deadpan for this drama malarky…

Mark.

8. Helicopter Gunship by Tin (@jamestinman)

Sometimes you get such an emotional battering it’s like being ploughed into by an Apocalypse Now-style Apache…

My emotions are civilians
Innocent collateral
My emotions are innocent collateral
(The women and the children)
But you keep on firing..!

You’re a Helicopter Gunship, a helicopter gunship
You’re a helicopter gunship…
With a mini-gun

12. Doomed Gondola - James Elliot Taylor @jameselliottwit

hi james leeds.

well, i thought “if i don’t do it right now while its fresh in my mind and raining, it’ll never get done”, so i wrote and recorded a song for your friendly competition. i hope it meets the criteria of drama, though its not exactly “crammed”, but it is about a murder, and is one only one minute … well 1:06.

anyway, i opened up a new file in logic which i had to title and because i had no idea what i was about to write, for inspiration i randomly opened up a book i have called ‘the fairy tales of hermann hesse’ (which is brilliant by the way, if you don’t know it) and immediately saw the seductive couplet “doomed gondola” so decided to write something around that. after 3 hours and 4 beers i’ll call it done as i can’t think of what else i can do with it.

right so, speak soon,

love james
