ALL: Originality (was: Metallica)

[Michael Blackman]

I would like to record an album only using the gods (law or chaos) tied to a
variety of objects made from fine timber and beat them with either a stick
or tortured with spiky objects.
I would also employ some small furry animals (volunteers of course) to add
to the tonal variety at different intervals.

For the Tenor section I think George Dubya - John Howard - and a few other
world leaders would set the mood quite nice.  I may need some help tho....
;-)
