The World's First Treat-Tossing Dog Camera

The world's first treat-tossing dog camera is here ladies and gentlemen!

Just in case you thought that human striving and endeavour was a bit of a waste of time sometimes...

For some reason I got signed up to one of those crowd-funding websites. That's how I know about this This groundbreaking idea is 302% funded. So I don't have to. Luckily. Even though it has barking alerts and night vision.

Maybe if I'm quick I can invent the dog-tossing treat camera? Or the camera tossing treat dogger?

Barking alert seems appropriate I suppose...

About Me

John Parkes is an acoustic songwriter / singer
based in Leeds, England.

Previously played in various indie guitar bands including night time Radio One favourites The Chorus, the Sinister Cleaners, Greenhouse and Fuzzbird. He now fronts Leeds based Whole Sky Monitor (a noisy indie guitar band championed by Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio One amongst others).

Legendary DJ John Peel played something from every record John made over a period of 14 years and introduced various other DJs to his songs.

John went acoustic at some point in the mid ‘noughties’ – not such a great change since many of his around 200+ songs have been written on acoustic guitar.

The songs are, so much as the label means anything, ‘singer / songwriter’ type songs – not indie rock without a band. Some have said 'modern urban folk'.

Lyrical obsessions include love, longing, lust, religion, bits of politics, self examination, the meaning of life, TV, general angst and touches of black humour.
