I recently had the sheer pleasure of watching and enjoying Tom Fun Orchestra while back home on Prince Edward Island. Now with being back in the UK I look forward to hopefully getting to a wee show or two.

While being as slow as I am I forgot to pick up a copy of the CD. It happens when your drinking/dancing to much… Things start to look a little like this when you pick up the CD at a show on the East Coast.

you will land with a thud

1. when you were mine
2. rum and tequila
3. throw me to the rats
4. watchmaker
5. marshall applewhite
6. last of the curious thieves
7. highway siren song breakdown
8. heart attack in an old motel
9. tar pond tango
10. behind the fence
11. bottom of the river
12. you will land with a thud
