Clocking in at just under 12 minutes and including two songs ‘Irresistible Rays’ and ‘Girl On Fire’, the Everything’s Happening Radio Trent Interview from 21 July 1988.
Now where did I put those mirror shades?

One Million Fuzztone Guitars on top form in 1984, showcasing their recently recorded Radio Trent Session tracks and b-sides of the two singles. Desk Mix. ‘Tis a pity that they did not play ‘Rock Section’ at this one but the insane version of ‘Creepy Crawl’ surely makes up for it!
Only the end of Annuese exists as far as we know.
Cover is taken from the original photocopy and Letraset cassette version.
DIY rules, Jim was crap with a hammer though.

Everything’s happening like a landslide
A landslide going on up
But stagnant water is
Lying over me
As a voice whispers in my ear
Hey Jim , look over there
Two gendarmes at the end of the bath
With my battered guitars in their hands
Clanking on their guns
Singing ‘La Mer’
I slide out of consciousness
And wonder where you are
Rock Section
‘In a Parisian Bathtub’
Back to digging,
Big Jake.

Music & Lyrics by Robert Courtney

Hi Chaparral, the new album from Courtney Bourne!
My Little Game
New album release by Vortex Patrol taken from the ‘Everything’s Happening / Landslide’ Trent Sessions II, 1985, featuring the unreleased monster that is ‘My Little Game’!
“Once I had………a little game……”
Big Jake
What ended up as the ‘Everything’s Happening’ LP was originally destined to be the next One Million Fuzztone Guitars album, but when it became clear that was not going to happen (because they did not want to come out to play) became Landslide by Vortex Patrol. The band name was suggested for us by Jim Morrison in the ‘Rock Section’ seances.
Later remixed with live drums and released as ‘Everything’s Happening’ by Robert Courtney this early version features two ‘lost tracks’ that did not fit (due to space constraints) on the finished LP (should have been a double).
Hope you like it.
Play it LOUD!
But remember,
We are not responsible for your speakers…..
Big Jake.
