It's [i]that [/i]time of year (or rather; month...) again; doesn't time fly..? Once again an excellent flock, all with their surprises. Quality..? We're on a roll with these competitions; there seems to be a bottomless well of inspiration being tapped by these folks. All for our pleasure and delight...
...and the winner is...

No, but here's my thoughts,cunning hidden so as not to spoil your innocent mind with my ramblings...

[spoiler]A varied lot, and, as always, a tough decision to give the 'thumb's up' to only one.The Acid test..? Would I play it again, and listen sometimes/often..? The comedy effect of a couple of others won't pass this test. The 'nod and a wink' to our Atari/Amiga/Sinclair/Amstrad heritage is also a tad wearing to those who (mis-...) spent their youth on programming those chipsets. Thanks for the recognition, but I'm not [i]that [/i]nostalgic (well, just a little, maybe...). I was keen on the vocal number, which evoked thoughts of Sid Barrett, and special mention for the xylophone, which nearly gets my vote but, in the end, it's the hot drumming that I finally plumped for. Slightly biased this month, though, by being a drummer, and so my vote goes to the elaborate use of odd time signatures, sacrificing (slightly...) richness in melody. I also happen to agree; war has changed.
Anyway, don't forget the essentials... Always question authority.[/spoiler]

Well done all, of course, although that really goes without saying.

I think my work is a minority interest. I am too eclectic for the great unwashed.

(that and the fact that my ditty is a bit crap ;))

Hey Bilbo - don't worry I'm the one-vote-wonder... it's the taking part that counts - amazing effort from everyone this month - well done all

Normally torn between four lovers, this took me quite aback, seeing as I was torn between four songs this time.
I finally chose variety inside the composition above style, production and what I just liked best.

Oh, and one very well cafted composition didn't get my vote, and I don't know if I even can live with myself after that.


Well done folks!


best,
bert

So Skol, the Pete Sampras of composition wins again....

Come on, my son. Where's this month's picture?
[/quote]

^ Ooh that's a low blow! Sampras has a very punchable face. That sticky out thing he used to do with his tongue? Abominable. But cheers for the sentiment, Bilbo :D

So… I thought I'd try searching for an image that allowed a little romantic inspiration this month. I started by typing "love" into the Flickr search box and this is the first image it came back with. I kid you not. Of 16,968,733 results, this was numero uno.

And who says romance is dead, eh? Eh?? Enjoy :blink:

Ah crap, I was too late to vote! Well, I voted anyway but Paul had already won :) But now that we have a new pic I can start composing for the next one! Yay!

Well done everyone, that was a nice crazy, fun theme. If only I hadn't moved house I would have joined in.

Congratulations, of course...

As for April: so a composition inspired by the beetles is on the cards then, eh..? No mean feat... :mellow:

Who's going to start..?

'All you need is love'..?
'Within you, without you'..?
'Act Naturally'..?
'You've Really Got A Hold On Me'..?
'Not A Second Time'..?

...there's lots left...

[quote name='bobbass4k' timestamp='1364841493' post='2031598']Well done Skol, it was a small but excellent collection this month, I'm thoroughly surprised to have come second. I'm kinda stumped by the new one though, I guess beetle sex just doesn't inspire me. That's probably a good thing though.[/quote]

Cheers Bob!

Hope the image isn't too oddball for everyone. I was just surprised to find it ranking top in my search on Flickr, so I went with it.

...it's not like I have a huge library of beetle sex images or anything like that. Really. Ok, apart from a small collection of imported 'earwigs in bondage' vids. It's a niche interest ;)
