An aside.
Work continues, but in the meantime Neil needs your help cash: http://www.neilsharkey.com/2009/06/a-request.html

Tenori-off.
The tenori-on, while a most entertaining device in it's own right, is a real pain in the arse to do anything musical with in a band type situation. Still, I shall persevere. Gotta get some ROI here...

Recorded plastic drums
Handy to have the MIDI too, although it does show up the massive
deficiencies in my time-keeping...
I was tempted to quantise the lot and make it perfectly in time, but
then I remembered Neil's many rants about things not needing to be
perfect and that some human 'tempo drift' is a Good Thing™ and
although I don't understand what he's talking about (doesn't have to
be perfect? WTF? Yes it does, dammit) I've left all the mistakes,
fluffed fills and dodgy ghost notes in there.
Now I just have to wait the 45 minutes for the audio takes to upload.
Need...faster...broadband...
Recording drum clips
Got the plastic kit set up, Pro Tools box hooked up and working
(finally) and ready to churn out some drums.

N's morning dump.
Pt II > III transition: Arp'd chords (a la Sirens) - lyrics over second part with stop containing a single word left hanging for a suitably pregnant 1 bar pause, then into third section. Preferably "marmalade" to tie in to subsequent toast references. :-) Pt. III: Keep existing chord structure overall but rather than play everything for 2 bars as in the original vary the lengths to something more dramatic. Bellamy-esque. (Matt, not David.)

elevator chords undiscovered
went through all bits of slidep paper and nothing so far. did find this though... 
Dunno, guv. I only knew the melody. Des is the keeper of chords. It might be worth putting ones name on these posts - it's all being submitted via my typepad account.
Also - everything is visible in public so no trade secrets, right? ;-)
What are the chords in PT2?
If anyone knows this of the top of their heads or can easily find it out that's be great...
