Ed Patrick, the mind behind one-man-band Kid Carpet, is famed for using Casio keyboards, Fisher Price guitars and the innards of other toys to compose his music. He also used to use a Furby for the backing vocals of the song 'Your Love' - but that was stolen at a gig.

Two versions of his debut album, Ideas and Oh Dears, were released under the independent label Tired & Lonesome in 2005. One of them, bought from independent record stores, came with an additional mix CD, including various 'Carpet remixes and interludes.
