lurksalot Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 HOLY SCHMOLEY My heart felt it dropped like a stone when I saw that picc, in a physical sense , that is soooooo uncomfortable to look at its untrue. I don't 'do' drops, heights, falling risks , and even thinking of others doing it gives me the shakes . Bizarre , I know , it just gives me terrible anxiety. I will have to come up with a work around on this one , Hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Well, my view on that picture..... Just some yob, lying on the roof of the entrance lobby of some high rise in Peckham, With an Alien attack going on behind him. Ridley Scott/Bernard Herrmann/The Trotters pastiche.......

I'm terrible with heights myself. If you want a real scare, search under 'Mustang Wanted' on YouTube and watch some of his videos. They make me feel faint!!

Dad3353 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Keep 'em coming, folks, there's an idea or so forming in the ol' grey cells. A tricky one, indeed, but that's what it's all about, isn't it..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Sam Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 If I can capture the sound of me chucking up and pooping my pants after seeing that photo, I'm in. Yip, I'm sh*t scared of heights. [size=4] [/size] [size=4] [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbass4k Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Got an idea. I'm experimenting with the major scale. But the main riff is in 13/8 so I'm still in my comfort zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes... "Strike whilst the iron is hot" or similar. Daily..? Nah; when would I sleep..? [quote name='lurksalot' timestamp='1399100206' post='2440952']...I wont go to it until I've done mine , [/quote] Yes, I always leave listening until I'm done, for fear of muddying the waters. Came out funny one month, when I found I had a very close theme to several others, so it can go against one, too..! Still, being among the first releases me to listen to following pieces as they get presented, so there's an advantage to being rapid. The downside is that my stuff is generally unpolishable..!

Skol303 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Well done Doug! I haven't listened to it yet but top marks for speed. Coming back to Lurks comment on a daily challenge.... Actually a 'Weekend Challenge', maybe with a prize of some sort if we can arrange one, might be a nice idea sometime, assuming we give ourselves enough notice of when it would happen. I've also been thinking about running a charity challenge one month. We could package the entries up as an 'album' on Bandcamp (say for £3) and give the proceeds to a good cause. In fact, there's no reason why we couldn't do that every month. Something to consider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sausage Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 MIne's written and the drums are down. It's just whether i can get it done in time. I'd never be able to do a weekend one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though my entries might stand up in the context of the challenge , I dont think they will get the appreciation they deserve in a wider context of actually paying for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
