Balhoonian Rhapsody

**Balhoonian Rhapsody** (DWT 008) is a single released by TCoS on the 16th of August 2019, from their studio album Flail Fists, Prepuce Pathologies Add Itchy, Polyarthritis.

## Background

The song is a sprawling operatic art-rock/progressive rock masterpiece, inspired by the life of diplomat, philanthropist and pudgy lil' guy - The Moxx of Balhoon. The cover art featured the members of the band, re-imagined to look like the Moxx, painted by renound surrealist Savadis Danli. The painting inspired an urban legend, denied by the band, that Deborah J was replaced by a Male stand in as the supposed Deborah in the painting appears to have a surprisingly muscular physic. Miss. J spoke on Daleks Jones' radio show to explain: "This painting captured a very brief moment of my life when I needed to bulk up to become 'The Greatest Bulkwoman', you can even see where I dislocated my little finger while doing a triple 180 back flip".

The cover produced some controvesay upon release as members of the public mistakenly believed that their favourite band had turned into deformed Moxx/Human creatures, with DWT Records Ltd. having to release a statement assuring fans that it was a painting and not reality, narrowly averting a massive diplomatic incident and intergalactic war with Balhoon. Due to this the offical release of the single was delayed with DWT electing to push forward later albums to help the controversy die down. Since then the song has gone on to become one of TCoS' fan's favourite songs, topping online polls and critics lists, with the band often ending their concerts with an encore performance. The single also featured a B-side track, titled "Moccle Bahoo". Balhoonian Rhapsody would later go on to be the inspiration for the EP Balhoonian Trapsody.

## Artwork

The art for this release was made by Danoftardis, with the title inspired by the 1975 Queen hit 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and the art inspired by the famous group shot of Queen seen in the music video for the song and on the cover of their 1974 album 'Queen II'. The fonts used are also inpired by the same subjects. In the artwork each of the human members of the band have their heads replaced with that of the Moxx of Balhoon, while the costumes of the band are the same as the album Flail Fists etc. apart from Deborah J who wears her usual 2019 era dress. The artwork for this release was significantly delayed and ended up being officially released out of sequence, with the numerically later Big Ass Photos, Spamming the Boards and The Ultimate Adventure being posted to the forum before this.

Kampoj de Paco

**Kampoj de Paco** (formally **Pacaj Muroj**) is a station on Line 3 of the Disejo Underground subway system. Is an infill station built within the Torchlandia Lake Tunnel, thus making it one of two split platform stations, the other being Diskoj, immediately south.

### History

Kampoj de Paco was first planned to be built as an infill station along the Line 3 public land segment. As construction was underway, the Fields of Peace was annexed by the nation of Torchland due to the signage of Lexi's document. This made Kampoj de Paco no longer a station on public land, and rather a station in the Torchlandic province of New Arboria. After said event, Kampoj de Paco was completed, and put into service as the third station on Line 3.

### Design

#### Architecture

The architecture of Kampoj de Paco was inspired by Harvard station on the Boston T. It features a split platform layout with brick and stone as the main block choice.
'Wembly' car photo

**The 'Wembly' car photo** was a widely circulated image from TCoS' tour. Following some disagreement, over both the location of the next concert (due to be held in Wembley on the 25th of July 2019) and the best car to travel there in, the band ended up divided between two vehicles; Deborah J's "Cool" car - a jaunty yellow Ford Capris - headed for Wembly, and Danoftardis' "Lame" car - a pantone grey early 90s Volvo - headed for Wembley. Deborah, Sparrow and Dalekcheese travelled in the "Cool" car, while Dan and Avon travelled in the "Lame" car. A photograph was taken of the two vehicles parting ways at a crossroads, each headed for their respective destination, which appeared to show the licence plates altered by person or persons unknown to read "cool" and "lame" on the two vehicles. This incident led to tensions within the band, as they ended up in completely different locations for the night of the concert, meaning neither location could run the event as neither had the full group or all the equipment, and a lot of taunts were thrown out about how much more fun the ride in the cool car had been. This came to a head on the 4th of August, when Deborah's car was found torched and graffitid by the side of a road, with a strong implication that Dan had been responsible. Very upset at what she perceived to be a mean spirited rebuttal to a thus far well-meaning tease, Deborah pulled out of all live performances for the next week, with popular musician and future TCoS drummer Doctor Gamer filling in as lead singer in her absense. During this time she hastily recorded a very energetic and angst driven solo album **Dan Burned My Car**. Once she had gotten this emotion out of her system, Deborah patched up her falling out with Dan, and the band purchased her a replacement car, a TCoS-Purple Capri, which was in time repainted yellow to better match the original. This car was later seen in the cover artwork for Typo Central and Homicide and Old Lace

The Tense Planet

**The Tense Planet** (DWT 029) is a single released by TCoS, from their studio album **Hail Santa**

The track is about an incident at the north pole in 1986 whereby an old man had a face lift and some cybernetic bois made things real tense, and was initially included as a track on the Hail Santa album before being released as a single. On the tracklist of the "Halloween" edition of Hail Santa, the track's name is translated into Latin as "Planeta Strictus"

Beds are Burning

**Beds are Burning** is a solo single released by **Deborah J**

During a period of downtime within TCoS towards the latter half of 2021, Deborah appointed herself to the position of mayor of a small mining town. During what has frequently been described as "A reign of terr...iffic management", in which a giant pyramid was built, the town was impenetrably fenced off and local citizen David was given a full time job working underground at *The Facility*, some unfounded rumours spread that Deborah had installed herself as a ruthless despot, making the lives of her citizens miserable with unjustified incarceration, unexplained fires, and in David's case unwanted job at *The Facility*. In an attempt to make light of this miscommunication, Deborah took the time to release a song, featuring the towns local orchestra as backing music, about how the mysterious fires in the town that wiped out her more vocal opponents were entirely not her doing. For the cover art she commissioned a wooden structure to be built, filled with beds like a dormitory and set on fire as she looked to the camera innocently. It is unknown what the current situation is in the town, though in interview Deborah has more recently described herself as "Empress" so it probably isn't great.
Rippy Popper Shoes

Rippy Popper Shoes is a solo single released by **Deborah J**, in August 2023 as a tribute to her recently destroyed boots.

## Background

During the photoshoot for the cover of the TCoS EP All Quiet on the Skaro Front, Deborah and her bandmates went to a recreation of a First World War trench, where they were photographed playing cards, as well as a variety of other images that were not ultimately used for the project. The trench recreation was described by the group as "alarmingly realistic", with the stench of death lying thick in the air, and copious amounts of mud. Despite these conditions, Deborah elected to wear her iconic block-heel chelsea boots, a pair of shoes that she had purchased just before her musical career had taken off - in April of 2019, just three months prior to the formation of TCoS. Deborah had worn these boots on the covers of several music releases over the years, and to virtually all of her live performances, seeing them as something of a good luck charm, as well as going with practically any outfit. Unfortunately, the uneven and dirty terrain of the trenches proved too much for Deborah's beloved boots, with their delicate felt uppers and relatively thin soles, they quite comprehensively fell to bits in the quagmire that was the Skaro Front. Understandably upset about the loss of such faithful and favoured footwear, Deborah composed and recorded a track in her downtime as tribute to her boots, which she released on the 6th of August 2023, with cover art showing her ruined boots lying by a metal bin.

## Promotion

Despite work on the releases of the much delayed singles from TCoS' Off-White Album still being ongoing, Deborah took time out of her schedule to promote the single on its release, feeling her dedicated fans deserved to know why their favourite star no-longer wore her most iconic footwear. She made an appearance on Clom FM's Dalekstravaganza show to promote the release and debut the song to eager listeners, where she explained to host Daleks Jones in interview: "If you're going to get all kitted out in army fatigues and clamber about in the dirt you might as well try and accessorise that a little, you know? I thought my boots might give me a little much needed glamour. The worst of it was, being sat near the back, behind Sparrow and his massive coat, you can't even see my shoes. They got trashed and they didn't even make it into the photo they used, it's tragic." When pressed by Jones on what she would be doing for shoes now that her old ones were lost to her, she reassured her fans that she had already purchased a new pair which - although not identical - were very similar, to the point that only the most eagle eyed observers were likely to notice the difference.
Abzorbaloff (Album)

**Abzorbaloff** (DWT 003) is the debut album released by TCoS

The Front Cover of the 2022 remastering of AbzorbaloffThe back cover of the 2022 remastering of Abzorbaloff
Following a flurry of speculation, and press buzz surrounding the recently formed supergroup, Abzorbaloff was released on the 9th of July 2019 to great public acclaim. The album featured two tracks which had been released as singles immediately prior to the album's release. Abzorbaloff is notable for being the only album in the band's history to not feature any musical contribution from Avon, who had not yet joined the band at this point. The album's music is largely pop-punk in genre. The album was completely remastered in July 2022 for the band's third anniversary, and reissued with cleaned up cover art.

## Album Art

The Front Cover of the original 2019 release of AbzorbaloffThe back Cover of the original 2019 release of Abzorbaloff
The cover art for the album features a picture of the band in an entirely white featureless space, playing their instruments. It is notable for a few features that are at odds with the bands later appearences - Danoftardis and Sparrow are in matching purple suits, with Deborah J wearing a dress of the same colours, and Dalekcheese's casing also being in the same two purple hues. This "uniform" look was very quickly dropped, with Dan swapping his suit trousers and shoes for more casual jeans and trainers by the time the image for "Everybody Wants to Rel the World" was taken, and replacing the suit jacket with a longer purple coat soon after. Sparrow would only wear his purple suit once more, on the cover of EWTRTW, before swapping his primary wardrobe to a more casual tweed shirt over a lilac t-shirt. Deborah was the only member of the group to maintain her initial Abzorbaloff outfit for any prolonged period of time. The cover also featured Dan using a different bass to the one he would later become known for. The initial release of the album featured a version of this image where the outfits were in a far darker, more muted shade of purple than would later be the norm, however in the 3rd anniversary remastering of the album - which is now considered the definitive version - the colours were brightened to a more familiar palette. The reissue also corrected the positioning of some of the wires.

Burning Down the Boards

**Burning Down the Boards** is a single released by TCoS.

It was the final track to be released from the band's original home in the Dotnet studio at DWT Towers, and was released in commemoration of the DWT Tower burning to the ground. The cover art depicted the famous tower - as it had previously been seen on the cover of "The Five Cultists" - engulfed in flames, as the band played amid the fire. The were joined on the cover, for the first time, by their long time session musician Beary the Bear, a figure whose valued contributions were previously kept largely in the background. Flanking the band were a series of notable TCOS fans and contributers including Porcelaingirl, Bundestrat, Idromel, The Valyard, Skifflebits and Al "Lurker" Dewar. The song itself is an entirely original piece of music, *David,* and features background elements of the actual fire that consumed DWT Towers, added in a very experimental pet-sounds sort of way.

Daisy in the Sky with Diamonds

**Daisy in the Sky with Diamonds** (DWT 019) is a single by TCoS, from their album **The Five Cultists**

The track was written by frequent musical collaborator and future drummer for the band; Doctor Gamer. Gamer penned the track following the tragic passing of beloved cat Daisy. The song, rather than mournful, was a joyful remembrance of all the happy moments in the life of Daisy the cat. Daisy's likeness was featured on the cover of the physical release.

Rosemary Fries

**Rosemary Fries** is a solo single released by **Deborah J**

The song was written during a visit by Deborah to an Italian restaurant which offered very high-end chips as one of their side dishes. Deborah was so taken by these delicious rosemary fries that she was compelled to write a song about them. Due to TCoS's very lengthy list of projects still awaiting completion, she decided the most expedient way to get this song out there would be to make it as a solo release - her first in almost two years. Releasing on the 14th of June 2021, a year which holds the record for the fewest UK number 1 singles in chart history, Deborah had trouble getting the track played between the endless looping Ed Sheeran and "Wellerman", however she was able to stop in at Clom FM on the pretext of visiting her friend, radio host Daleks Jones, and after bribing her with some Rosemary Fries Deborah was able to convince Jones to put the track on. A planned B-Side for the single - Fancy Pizza - ended up being released as a single in its own right the same day.

## Lyrics

If you don't spend the money

Your chips taste kind of funny

Those Tesco "buy one get one free"s

Oh but love flies where my rosemary fries

And no-body disagrees

Vinegar be malty

No salt can be too salty

You burn your hand and mouth with grease

Oh but love flies where my rosemary fries

And no-body disagrees

The subsequent lyrics become indecipherable as Deborah can be heard on the audio stuffing her face with chips and struggling to articulate through the mouthful of seasoned potato
The Greatest Bulkman (Everybody Bulks)

**The Greatest Bulkman (Everybody Bulks)** (DWT 045) is a single released by TCoS.

Cover art for The Greatest Bulkman (Everybody Bulks)
## Background

The track was the first to be released from The Off-White Album. Despite the album being published in 2022, none of its tracks were released as singles until the summer of 2023, with The Greatest Bulkman (Everybody Bulks) dropping on the 14th of July of that year. This delay was down to a number of factors, as the band had been extremely busy on a variety of other projects, and despite all the songs being released in their album form, no-one was free to sign off on the single version of the mastering of these tracks, or on the artwork. The band had then gotten sidetracked by putting together an EP explaining the delays in production - All Quiet on the Skaro Front - which was itself, ironically, heavily delayed. Following a fire at the studio which devastated much of the group's back catalogue and resources and destroyed their workspace, things were delayed further, with attention being focussed on a special new single to commemorate the loss of their studio in DWT Towers. Eventually, however, the band pushed through these delays, and the Singles finally began to be released.

## Cover Art

The Cover for The Greatest Bulkman features an image of the eponymous Bulkman, a public figure and off-brand superhero with the likeness of science fiction writer Liam Malcolmus Sewage-Grohl - a known associate of Deborah J. The Bulkman controversially has a beard very similar in shape to that of Sparrow's, but as Bulkman's creator Ms Jorse tried to explain "I only know one way to draw a little beard." Sewage-Grohl was reportadly never a fan of the unflatteringly pudgy, bald and sad looking bulkman, and put up some minor objection to the writing of a track about the character, as it brought more public attention to it. However he ultimately got into the spirit of things, signing off on a licence to produce Bulman-themed promotional birthday cards and other merchandise. He did, however, get some manner of catharsis from the situation, as he also desgined his own series of She-Bulk merchandise to coincide with the release of Bulkman, with She-Bulk allegedly being an original character, but one who bore a suspicious likeness to a bald and bulky Deborah J, a similarity Sewage-Grohl insisted was entirely coincidental.

Banned on the Run

**Banned on the Run** (DWT021) is an EP released by TCoS, released in celebration of the banishment of Merlin from DWT towers.

The front cover art for DWTEP 021 - Banned on the RunThe back cover art for DWTEP 021 - Banned on the Run
Merlin had been a thorn in the side of the band for a long time, and eventually went insane and had to be removed by security and banned for life from the premesis, to much cheer and rejoicing from the members of TCoS and their fans. As one final middle finger to the misanthropic wizard, the EP was devised, its title a direct reference to Merlin's banishment, and all its tracks being lyrically a mix of celebration and disstrack. Banned on the Run was also the final release by TCoS to feature their original drummer Dalekcheese, who departed the group shortly after due to unresolvable interpersonal difficulties with other bandmembers. Both Dalekcheese and her replacement Doctor Gamer are featured in the cover artwork, along with friends and collaborators of the band including Skifflebits and Porcelaingirl. The artwork depicts the band and their supporters escaping a prison style compound with a large image of Merlin on the side. In an early draft of the image, the watchtower is empty, but in the final produced version it is lit up to reveal Davrid Goodoson and The Valyard inside. The logo used was a slightly elongated version of the one previously seen on **The Long and Winding Goat**. The title track was later included in the compilation album Greatest Hits II

The album is very heavily influenced by the musical styles of the 1980s, featuring a lot of keyboard heavy synth-pop, new wave romanticism, alternative rock, post-punk and a light hint of glam metal. **Stormcage, Here We Come** was the first studio album released after the departure of the band's original drummer and the hiring of replacement drummer Doctor Gamer, who had prior to this performed on and contributed significantly to the EP Balhoonian Trapsody. Deborah J revealed in interview with The Daily Vortex that the cover art for this album was her personal favourite of the band's output.

The Farewell Concert

**The Farewell Concert** (marketed as **End of the Forum '23**) was a special one off concert held on the night of the 12th of June 2023 during the demolation of DWT Towers, the original home of TCoS. The single Burning Down the Boards was specially written for the event. A recording was made of the concert and is awaiting release as a live album. Following the concert Skifflebits held a special Massive in the Ashes DJ after party.
Linus

Linus and 22 Kalliope

**(22) Kalliope I Linus** or more commonly, **Linus** is a small minor planet moon of the large main belt, M-type asteroid 22 Kalliope. It was discovered by astronomers Jean-Luc Margot and Michael E. Brown on August 29, 2001 with the Keck telescope, in Hawaii. It received the provisional designation **S/2001 (22) 1**, until it was permanently named. Although the naming proposal referred to the mythological Linus, son of the muse Calliope and the inventor of melody and rhythm, the name was also meant to honor Linus Torvalds, inventor of the Linux operating system kernel, and Linus van Pelt, a character in the *Peanuts* comic strip.

With an estimated 28 ± 2 km (17 ± 1 mi) diameter, Linus is very large compared to most asteroid moons, and would be a sizable asteroid by itself. The only known larger moons in the main belt are the smaller components of the double asteroids 617 Patroclus and 90 Antiope.

It has been estimated that Linus' orbit precesses at quite a rapid rate, making one cycle in several years. This is attributed primarily to the non-spherical shape of Kalliope. Linus's brightness has varied appreciably between observations, which may indicate that its shape is elongated.

Linus may have formed out of impact ejecta from a collision with Kalliope, or a fragment captured after disruption of a parent asteroid (a proto-Kalliope).
Reverse Terminus

**Reverse Terminus** (DWT 014) is a single released by TCoS, from their album **The Ultimate Adventure**

The inspiration for this track comes from an error in the design for the cover of the TUA album, in which Deborah J was depicted wearing the skirt and jacket of Nyssa's "Mawdryn Undead" outfit, seemingly with nothing underneath, considered rather risque at the time. This was referred to as a "Reverse Terminus" as in Terminus Nyssa famously removes her jacket and skirt and spends most of the story in her underlayers. For the cover art, Deborah is depicted in these underlayers, encountering the Garm who is wearing the titular "Reverse Terminus" outfit. The cover featured a new metalic logo, a modified version of which would later be used for **Big Chungus is Sus Imposter**

Since the more commonly circulated special edition of **The Ultimate Adventure** featured a revised cover design that reinstated Deborah's undergarments, the joke to the meaning of Reverse Terminus was somewhat lost to time.

## Background

The album is one of the band's more experimental pieces, performed largely on a selection of unconventional instruments, with unusual and frequently changing time signatures, and one track consisting entirely of the band tuning up their instruments and equipment while Danoftardis loudly and persistently cleared his throat. The artwork for the album cover was hailed by some critics as "A Masterpiece of minimalism" and by others as "A bit of a lazy cop-out", featuring as it did an empty white void, which represented either the band's endless potential for content, or else the amount of new ideas they had for the coming year, depending on who you asked.

The release of the album was significantly delayed, by nearly 12 months, due to what DWT Records Ltd. called "A slight incident involving mustard, the Moxx of Balhoon and the master tapes". A leaked pressing first appeared on intergalactic auction sites in July 2021. An unofficial release, it featured very different cover artwork: The colour was pure white and featured no number on the front, while three versions of the back have been found by TCoS fans, all totally different from the final official release.

Avon

Avon's official portrait

**Avon** is the keytar player for TCoS, also frequently providing piano and backing guitar.

Born in the far future on a version of earth ground under the heel of an oppressive federation, Avon spent a considerable amount of time as a reluctant member and even more reluctant leader of a space-based resistance movement before eventually retiring in the present day and filling his time by becoming an action figure customiser and jobbing musician, providing supporting instrumental work for such memorable acts as "Cyril Savage and his Entourage of Dandies" and "Frogge"

After the success of TCoS' debut album and the high demand for their tour, Avon was hired by the group as a session musician, along with Beary the Bear, to add more depth and variety of sound to the group's tracks and provide support in concerts. Avon's initial roles were defined as piano/keyboards and backing guitar - positions he continues to supply to this day - however, when his presence in the band's expanded team was announced, the fanbase took such an interest and a liking to him that he was promoted to the position of band member, added to the official lineup and given a jaunty keytar to allow for more performative playing at public events.

Throughout his time with TCoS, Avon has made a name for himself as the "quiet" member of the group, akin to a George Harrison or a Maurice Gibb. Avon's low-key and pubicity-shying nature has not kept him from the hearts of fans, however, and he is very much beloved by some of the group's more thoughtful and intellectual supporters. On at least one occasion, Avon was briefly replaced by an auton duplicate attempting to infiltrate the band, though this subterfuge was quickly spotted and thwarted, with the true Avon retaining his position. Avon memorably rode with Dan in the "Lame" car during the Wembley/Wembly incident, though being new to the band at the time and generally not a fan of conflict he made a point of not getting involved in the resulting fracas.

Avon's distinctive sense of style and deportment have earned him the title of "Classiboi" as opposed to Danoftardis' "Scruffiboi" aesthetic. The initial purple suits the band wore for the Abzorbaloff album had largely been abandoned by the time of the group's concert at the Daily Vortex - Avon's first official public appearance as a fully-fledged band member - however Avon chose to retain the suit look, opting for a more classically cut tuxedo in a more indigo shade, with a matching waistcoat, a pleated shirt and bowtie. He had continued to wear this outfit for the majority of his public appearances, despite the frequently changing aesthetic of the group, and when not in his traditional indigo 3 piece suit he is generally found in similarly dapper menswear, with a lavender lounge suit, a pale grey business suit and a blue blazer paired with a cravat. He has been voted Vogon Magazine's most stylish keytar player on 4 separate occasions.

Skaromas Party

**Skaromas Party** (DWT 049) is a studio album released by TCoS on the 21st of December 2023, the band's second “festive” special, following the Christmas themed edition of Hail Santa, marking the first Christmas-time release since 2021's decidedly unseasonal Twerk Experience

The front cover art for Skaromas PartyThe back cover art for Skaromas Party

## Background

The idea for a fully Christmas-themed release had been circulating since late 2020, when Hail Santa was brought out. Despite the festive theming of the “Christmas Edition”, the only specifically Christmas related song was the bonus track included on the Christmas Edition - “Where My Ho-Ho-Hoes At?”, and the band concluded that an entire album of festively themed songs might be a nice novelty. As is so often the case with TCoS, the idea ended up put on hold for several years before finally being dusted down, with all the band's half written, half baked Christmas songs being hurriedly completed to meet the hard Christmas deadline.

## Tracklist

1. You Trashed My Skaromas
2. Song For Ten
3. Merry Skaromas Everyone
4. Love Don't Roam
5. The Skaromas Song
6. Stop The Cybermen
7. Hark! The Heavenly Hosts Sing
8. O Skaromas Tree
9. I Wish It Could Be Skaromas Everyday
10. The Stowaway Ft. Astrid
11. Do They Know it's Skaromas?
12. The Twelve Days of Skaromas
13. Fairytale of New New York

## Reception

The album entered the charts at number two and quickly sunk down the album charts, losing against the tide of people downloading George Michael's “Last Christmas” for the 6th year in a row (presumably deleting it inbetween to keep christmas songs out of their shuffle), and whatever guff Ladbaby were doing that year. Critical response was somewhat tepid by TCoS' usual standards, with Bundesrat writing for the Daily Vortex “TCoS were hardly cutting edge rock and roll to begin with, but this warm fuzzy safety scissors music really makes me throw up my christmas dinner of dry beef jerky and pickled eggs!” Daleks Jones of Clom FM was a little kinder, expressing gratitude to have some new music to play on her Christmas show that wasn't just Mariah Carey on loop. When lead singer Deborah J made a guest appearance on the Dalekstravaganza show, Jones asked her “Why did you go for Hark the Heavenly Hosts Sing, when Hark The Weeping Angels Sing would have fit the rhythm so much better?” Deborah thought about this for a moment, then replied “Heck, I never thought of that, just give me a second.” then proceeded to spend the rest of the show on the phone to DWT Records, seeing if it was too late to change this. It was.

## Artwork

The cover art for the record, hand painted by Deborah J herself, depicts the band and their collaborators as Christmas tree ornaments, along with ornaments depicting band favourite figures such as Moccle Bahoo, The Abzorbaloff, Demon Dappy Bread and Oucho T Cactus. Beneath the tree, amidst a range of TCoS themed merchandise, models of the band members are seen running from a much larger Danbot, and the hand of Eldrad, which Deborah received for Christmas as a “Handy ring holder”

Greatest Hits (Deborah J Album)

**Greatest Hits** is a solo studio album by **Deborah J**

In early 2019, Deborah was preparing her debut album as a solo artist - the as yet unreleased **Came Forth Sweetness**. Plans for this and her immediate future as a solo artist were put on hold, however, when she was headhunted by the fledgling group The Cult of Skaro, who had their sights set on her talents as a vocalist and offered her a Columbia costume if she agreed to sign on to the project. Deborah agreed, but one of the legal stipulations was that she could not put out any solo work that would overshadow the debut of TCoS. As Came Forth Sweetness was set to be a larger than life pop-diva extravaganza, Deborah reluctantly had to shelve it. Wanting to still have some solo work for her folio, however, she put together a much smaller release, a minimal single disc with an understated cover design, collecting some of the tracks that had not quite made it onto her abandoned album. This new compilation was called "Greatest Hits" a rather tongue-in-cheek title as none of the songs had been released anywhere prior to their inclusion in the album, so could not be classified as hits, great or otherwise. Many of the songs had been imrovised during the downtime in the recording sessions of Came Forth Sweetness, with Deborah riffing on some of her favourite people, such as Naked Colin Baker, Goatward the long goat and Davrid Goodoson. A twelfth song, about David Warner, was cut from the tracklist at the last minute, as it was considered to be altogether too explicit. "Greasy Regret Tom" was eventually reworked into the TCoS song "Greasy Regret", featured on their debut album and also performed live at the group's Daily Vortex concert. Greatest hits was released on the 31st of July 2019, during TCoS's Abzorbaloff tour.

2011 MD

2011 MD is a bright micro-asteroid, classified as near-Earth object of the Apollo and Amor group, respectively. On 27 June 2011, at around 17:00 UTC (13:00 EDT), the object passed exceptionally close to Earth's surface at a distance of approximately 12,000 kilometers (7,500 mi), roughly the diameter of the Earth.

2011 MD imaged by Spitzer in February 2014

## Description

Although 2011 MD was initially believed to be space junk, subsequent observations confirmed that it is an asteroid. A few hours before the asteroid's nearest approach in 2011, it appeared close to the Sun, so observations were possible for only a brief period. Backyard astronomers were able to observe it with telescopes from Australia, southern Africa, and the Americas.

2011 MD was discovered on 22 June 2011, by astronomers of the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) at the U.S. Lincoln Laboratory Experimental Test Site in Socorro, New Mexico, by a pair of robotic telescopes. According to original rough estimates, the asteroid's length was between 10 and 45 meters (30 and 150 ft). However, according to the more recent absolute magnitude (H) measurement of 28.1 and its albedo of 0.3, the asteroid is closer to 6 meters or 20 feet in diameter.

Emily Baldwin of *Astronomy Now* said that there was no threat of collision, and should the asteroid enter Earth's atmosphere, it would "mostly burn up in a brilliant fireball, possibly scattering a few meteorites", causing no likely harm to life or property on the ground.

The 27 June 2011 close approach to Earth increased the orbital period of 2011 MD from 380 days to 396 days. During close approach the asteroid passed Earth at a relative speed of 6.7 km/s with a geocentric eccentricity of 1.1.

2011 MD was observed by the Spitzer Space Telescope in February 2014 and estimated to be 6 meters (20 ft) in diameter. The asteroid is a porous rubble pile with a density similar to water. On 19 June 2014, NASA reported that asteroid 2011 MD was a prime candidate for capture by the Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) in the early 2020s.
Daleks (or “Back To Thals”)

Daleks (or "Back To Thals") (DWT 023) is a single released by TCoS, from their album **Stormcage, Here We Come**

Released in September 2020, the contemporary press release was as follows: Last time we saw The Cult of Skaro they were mingling with the Urban Guerillaz of the streets. However since then, they’ve discovered that their sofa in their recording studios is secretly a space and time travel device! Don’t ask. This means however, that the Cult are able to go on a number of fantastical space adventures, and you the listener get to go on it with them. Start the journey with their terrifying encounter with the Daleks, “Daleks (Or Back To Thals)” in which the Cult find themselves trapped on a sofa in the middle of Skaro. Watch out soon for the Cult’s next LP and accompanying singles to see more of their exciting sofa travel adventures!

Since none of the other tracks of that album or any subsequent albums featured a travelling green sofa, and the sofa was next seen back in its rightful place at the DWT Towers recording studio, it can be assumed that the band managed to get out of that scrape after a single adventure. It is unknown whether the sofa survived the fire that consumed DWT Towers in June of 2023.

Will You Still Love Me, Two Sparrows

**Will You Still Love Me, Two Sparrows** (DWT 013) is a single released by TCoS, from their album **The Ultimate Adventure**

The cover art for Will You Still Love Me, Two SparrowsMisprinted cover used on a very small number of early pressings
The Song was written in dedication to Faceless Sparrow, who had served in the role of stand-in/body double for Sparrow on the cover images of a number of early TCoS releases including, most memorably, on one of the three bootleg releases of **Skaro Calling**, which already featured the real Sparrow. The two could most easily be distinguished by the fact that Faceless Sparrow did not have a face, while the real Sparrow did. After Faceless Sparrow declared a desire to move on to more lucrative projects, the band penned a ballad demonstrating their fondness for him, and wishing him the best, thus "Will You Still Love Me, Two Sparrows" was born. The cover photograph used for the single's release was the last piece of official cover art to feature Faceless Sparrow in his official role, however he did return a year and a half later for the large group shot used on the cover of **Sgt Skaro's Lonely Tracks Club Cult**

At the time of its initial release, a limited number of pressings were sold with a misprint cover, with the title incorrectly written as "The Two Sparrows" and no product number. The mistake was very quickly rectified, and very few were ever made with this variant cover, with fewer still sold, making this misprint cover - like the many other misprinted oddities from the band's early days - a highly sought after collectors item.

Twerk Experience

**Twerk Experience** (DWT Unnumbered) is a single released by TCoS as a standalone track. The origins of this song are unclear with most of the band unaware that it actually existed let alone was released. As it was released during the hight of the festive season on 24th December 2021 it quickly got lost under endless repeats of Slade, Wizzard and Wham (for shame) ending up not charting at all.

The track was rediscovered by the band when they were saving their archive of material before the destruction of the DWT Towers in 2023. Danoftardis spoke to Daleks Jones of Clom FM to explain the origins of the song "It was inspired by Deborah J who showed us a picture of our Lord Squidward performing a contempory dance". Still utterly confused Jones pressed for more information: "I sneaked into the Dotnet studio one night with my good friend Squid and together we laid down the vocals and a catchy beat and pressed the record that night. None of the band knew anything about the record until it's release and even then they promptly forgot about it." Asked if there is any greater meaning behind the song Danoftardis simply said "Me and Squid go way back, some people say we look very similar, though I'm clealry the more handsome."

## Artwork

The art for this record was based upon a gif of Squidward Q. Tentacles shaking his booty while on stage. The font used is based on the one used on the popular TV series SpongeBob SquarePants, as was the logo for this release.

Homicide and Old Lace

**Homicide and Old Lace** (DWT 030) is a studio album released by TCoS in February 2021. The album was comprised entirely of previously unreleased songs that had been trimmed from previous album releases for various reasons, and featured only one track that was released as a single, that being **The Beepy Boopy One**, a track composed by the band's drummer **Doctor Gamer**.

Front cover artBack cover art
The press release at the time read "Straight from the cutting room floor and into your ears, "Homicide and Old Lace" is a collection of previously unreleased tracks, cut from various albums of the past, but too good to go unheard forever. HAOL will be available at all good music retailers - and a few bad ones too!"

## Art

The front cover of Homicide and Old Lace memorably featured a number of references to past works, as a reflection of the album's composition from existing but unreleased works. These references included the broken gnome and beer cans from the famed backstage photograph at the band's glasgow concert, Dan's spare bass guitar previously only seen on the cover of debut album "Abazorbaloff", as well as the microphone and sound equipment from that album cover. There was also featured a clotheshorse containing various items worn by the band in the past, including - rather infamously - several pairs of Deborah J's real underwear.

24 Hours From Clom

**24 Hours From Clom** (DWT 037) is a single released by TCoS, from their album **You Belong to Uzz**

Released in August 2021, the song describes a jolly holiday to Clom, where a merry tourist hopes to bring their love Thalira back some sweet souvenirs before - tragically being absorbed themselves... absorbed into a romantic tryst with the Abzorbaloff! Like much of the You Belong to Uzz album, the track was infused with a 60s pop flavour, this one skewing to the melodramatic sincerity of the early 60s. The cover depicted a postcard, sent to Thalira, bearing the following message: "We're now only 24 hours from Clom! Our holiday to Disneyland Clom promises to be one of thrill and excitement, we'll be sure to buy some absorbing candy for you!"

## Artwork

Both the front and back art for this release were made by Danoftardis and partly inspired by the 2011 CD remaster of The Smiths' 1984 compilation 'Hatful of Hollow' with the entire back made to look the same, swapping the colour scheme to purple and white, and the purple line under the TCoS logo also inspired by that release. The main artwork of the band however is not related to The Smiths' album and was an original composition. It features the band in what had become their most famous outfits in the preceeding 12 months: Danoftardis in the long coat first seen on Live at The Daily Vortex, The Sparrow in brown jacket also first seen on the live album, but with the yellow tie seen on The Ultimate Adventure, Deborah J in the original dress from Abzorbaloff with Blue Peter badge addition and Dalekcheese in NSD case. Avon however was featured in a new outfit based on clothes he owns in the real world: a replica S18 Tom Baker scarf and a long black coat. The title is a reference to the Doctor Who 50th anniversary episode 'Day of the Doctor'.

Bump Bump

**Bump Bump** (DWT UNNUMBERED) is a track released by TCoS

The secret bonus track "Bump Bump" featuring lead vocals from Sparrow was released to minimal fanfare after a stealth marketing campaign. Considered something of a publicity stunt, the track had a limited run of 500 copies which were left scattered around the country. Eager fans went on a treasure hunt to find this rare item, with copies reportedly being found in Windsor Castle, Winspit Quarry in Dorset, down the back of the sofa and - of course- Slough. Bump Bump is an unnumbered release, not part of the official band discography, but is arguably more sought after and rare because of this The cover art depicts guitarist Sparrow in a state of some distress after a memorable and much publicised misadventure in which he bump bumped himself.

The Track's Lyrical content to the track was as follows:

Bump

For my love

Bump in

(do-do-do-do)

Wear a glove

BUMP if you want to see some fishes in the night

Yeah!

Bu-u-u-ump

For my love

Bump, bump for my love

Bump, I know my heart can make you happy

Bump in, you know these arms

Can feel you up

Bump, you want to taste my kisses

In the night then

Bump, bump for my love

Bump Bump was later included in the compilation album Greatest Hits II
