all things blurt!

 

E.G.: "So you can make records for any label you fancy?"

Ted: "Also for the ones we don't fancy! We can have a cartload of record-deals if we want to, but that is of no importance."

E.G.: "How did you come about cutting a single for Big Balumbas In Burundi?"

Ted: "It was a leftist complot! We were standing on the platform of Milan station when a female negro midget came in our direction. She was wearing a long raincoat and suddenly she opened the coat and these massive,black balumbas fell on the ground! My foot got stuck under them, I couldn't get away! That's when I realized we have to release a single on Belgium's most sinister and feared recordlabel: Frank's!! Hooray for Frank!!!"

E.G.: "We don't read a lot about Blurt in the music press here in Belgium..."

 

Ted: "Probably another conspiracy!"

E.G.: "Unusual about Blurt is the line-up; no bass player.."

Ted: "There are several reasons for that, of which Pete will give you the first...."

Pete: " Well,we only had three seats in the van..."

Jake: "We did have a bass-player, but we shot him."

Ted: " Actually, he hung himself....he realised he had to do something to boost our record sales, so he threw himself out of a window with a rope around his neck and a note on his shoes which read: "Blurt hurts".
