The 12 Memories booklet says "Paperclips - Additional vocals by Red Dog." Does anyone have any idea what that's supposed to mean?
And btw, I somehow got the idea that the clarinet on Paperclips was played by Dougie. Is it just my imagination, or might it possibly be true? |

Well, there IS a dog whimpering in Paperclips; Red Dog is probably her/him (that whimpering is one of the reasons i can't listen to that song...)
Don't know about Dougie playing the clarinet on this track. He does play saxofone though, so maybe he did after all |

Yes, I think I have a vague memory of that. I'll have to check it out some time. |

True, but I've never noticed that before. I thought it was some kind of vehicle of something, but this probably explains where the "additional vocals" come in. |

You mean like squeaky wheels or something? :D
I'm sorry, this goes completely off the topic now, but whenever i think of or hear squeaky wheels it reminds me of Eddie Izzard and his Achilles heel clip :D
EDIT: are you still working on the Travis discography project? how's it going? |

Yup, there's definitely dog noises on Paperclips... and Dougie definitely said he plays clarinet on it too! |

In Dougie's dairies Day 12 he answered a bunch of questions. I had asked if he was going to play sax on the next tour, more meaning I want him to just randomly bust it out, not whether he'll be playing it on the new album. But he took it to mean is he playing it on the new album and he said no, and then he said:
The closest i have got is the little clarinet part in paperclips. |

Exactly! Squeaky wheels, in the most scary sense of the word. (It always makes me think of an episode in Midsomer Murders with a squeaking pram and a squeaking wheelbarrow.)
Yes, I'm still working, thanks for asking:-) The reason I wrote this post in the first place was that I was just writing about Paperclips, and wanted some confirmed information. I have one month left, and then I'll hopefully have finished the discography thing enough to show to you all. I had meant to post the articles here continuously as I wrote them, but now I think I'll just post everything at once, and hope I haven't done too many embarrasing mistakes. |

I believe since he said he played that he did and it's not a synth effect. |
