In the words of the other half of: Brilliant. Fucking Brilliant.
He popped into the DCHQ studio this week to pre-record that there show below as one of his final acts of freedom before Mrs Mouse spat out their co-created little lady, the Simpsons-inspired, Maggie.
As well as chuntering on like a giddy biscuit, Mr. Mouse (& ½DC) also recorded the first, if short, adhoc in-studio DCHQ TWR session; the other half of being cloaked in the more audience-friendly guise of John Mouse.
First up he solo’d on a newbie (God Put You On This Earth). Then ½DC + Mrs Mouse joined him for an old song (Not For Ambition Nor Bread) they co-wrote a few moons back.
The sound is sloppy & bassy as hell & the playing is deliberately amateurish because Mr. Mouse couldn’t wait for things to be set up properly in case Mrs M prematured but, for a spontaneous crack at it, it is proper lovely nevertheless.
Here’s who done what:
TWR Session 13.09.09
God Put You On This Earth - John Mouse, acoustic guitar & vocals
Not For Ambition Nor Bread - John Mouse, acoustic bass & vocals; ½DC, acoustic guitar, ukulele & vocals; Mrs Mouse, spoken word; The Prophylactic Choir, backing vocals
Enjoy.
½DC + t’other ½DC
p.s. CONGRATULATIONS TO Mr. & Mrs MOUSE, WHO FINALLY SPAT OUT MAGGIE MOUSE at 6.35am on SUNDAY 21st SEPTEMBER, AFTER 35 VERY LONG HOURS. MAGGIE HAS ALL HER FINGERS & TOES, WEIGHS IN at 7lb14oz & IS HAIRY LIKE HER DAD. WELL DONE, KIDS. WELCOME TO THE REST OF YOUR WAKING LIVES.

Glad the boys were finally reunited. Mr Fisk next week, then?
Mr mouse is actually a very good musician, I enjoyed his performance. Congrats to mr Mouse on the new addition, he is now required to be a responsible adult and pay for food clothing, shelter and college. Farewell Mr Mouse, Best to TWOTH/DC
PS: When is the DC-TWOTH team going to produce a little crumb cruncher?
Kids, cheers for saying howdy.
I am still not 100% recovered & with a looming 10day USof stint on the horizon I’m trying to keep a low profile & sweat this fucker out ’til I’m all better, like. I mean, there’s pre-records to be arranged; God help me.
HH - I will get back to you, especially as I am in D.C. in less than 2 weeks time. Beer, or some, perchance? 3rd until 12th or 13th, I think. The evening of either the 3rd or 4th would be a good date to consider.
Cali - I WILL be in touch. Neither have I forgotten nor am I ignoring you, but I have nearly died once or twice. So I hope this explains my dipping in & out of radio silence. Plus, the mice had their baby! Things have been topsy t.
Cheers folks.

Oct3/4 I will buy , get some sleep and tuck your self in hh
Thanks for the reply, DC. Fantastic news that you’re going through with your trip to the states. Good work, indeed. Safe travels, then, eh?
HH,
TWoTH + I would have to do the horizontal mambo for such an event to come to pass, & that is just plain too icky to contemplate.
Maybe we can adopt one of them nice brown babies for Christmas?
½DC
Harry,
There is no way on earth DC’s pickle is getting anywhere near my preserve any day soon.
As for brown babies, DC, I suggest you consider donating a goat to some Gambian village first before you indulge in any form of pseudo-familial fantasy. The idea of you ‘in charge’ of anyone else’s welfare (let alone your own) sends shivers where shivers do not belong.
Now get back to work.
