I really, really, REALLY should get started on mine 🙃

Mine has gone from "I'd better make a start" to "No, I REALLY must make a start" 🫤

Righto, I'll sort one out 👍

Vermillion?

Nice tune, but what's going on with this Vindicta Veritas commentfest? A bot? A shunned guitarist? A shunned bot guitarist? I assume The Cruiser is on overtime duties with the majority of the ramblings?

Here's mine, and two days before the deadline. Sounds like I rushed it 😁 There's been a coup (coo?) and Britain wakes up to a 10ft tall genetically modified pigeon as PM. And, why not? However, the choice of Chancellor rankles and our Tom Waits-lite narrator isn't impressed. He'd rather a Looney Tunes alternative, but dare not speak out as the totalitarian reign begins and the big clock is on the blink... Lyrics hidden below. HB Tele for guitar and Ableton for bass, drums, keys and various clanging sounds, aided by the dynamic duo of Wavepad and Audacity. A couple of samples from Freesound.

Bravo, Andy! 👏 Another good'un!

Ta-da! As inevitable as night follows day, here's my late, late entry. Is the city just waking up to face the rigours of the day or is the night approaching with all its alluring features? It matters not; everyday, the good folk of the city are making life-changing decisions, for better or worse. And, after that pretentious twaddle, I'll tell you that this was laid down with a HB Tele, Westfield P-bass, Vivlex echo pedal, Roland Cube, drums and synth sounds provided by Ableton. Recorded with the dynamic duo of Wavepad and Audacity.

I think this counts. Quite the contrast!

Not for me, you couldn't. They tried that with Sid and that didn't end well. As @Lozz196 has already mentioned, all four of them brought something to the table. And nobody can go chug-chug-chug on a guitar like Steve Jones! Good point. You can't help but think that they might do more shows though, depending on how well these two go.

Difficult to dig him up, he was cremated.

This is pretty much how I feel about it. However.... ...if there were to be more dates to follow, I'm not sure I'd be able to resist.

"Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?" C'mon, get it right, us Pistols anoraks will notice 😁

What will Mr Lydon's take on this be? https://www.vulture.com/article/sex-pistols-reunite-without-johnny-rotten.html

Is it Gwyneth Paltrow's head?

I won't listen until I've posted mine but it's good to have you back, Douglas

No, not really. The man's a menace.

What is it with Jagger and Tescos? The man's obsessed. Wrote both Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Shopping Late at Tescos and You Can't Always Get What You Want (From the Deli Counter) about the place. The world moves on with Putin, Trump, Gaza, Houthis, Boko Haram. Think I'll chill out and stick Brown Sugar on.

Nice one, @xgsjx! 👏

I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date... Flying craft and missiles are the order of the day for mankind yet again as we find ourselves fighting on the edges of space and time. When will we ever learn? Hopefully, I've tapped into a vague Hawkwind vibe both lyrically and musically which, in my book, can only be a good thing. Lyrics hidden below. Westfield Les Paul copy, Westfield P-Bass copy (I like Westfields 😁, Vivlex delay pedal, MT Drums, Apogee+ mic. Most of it through a Roland Cube and recorded in time-honoured fashion with Wavepad, Audacity and Ableton.

Anarchy for the UK It's coming sometime (although it was prevalent during the first civil war in post-Conquest England throughout the reign of King Stephen between 1135 and 1154) maybe...

Why celebrate Polly Harvey whilst decrying Poly Styrene?

Not a great pic but it's from last Friday's gig in Northampton.

Buy a bouzouki, a mandolin and a balalaika. Branch out as you get toward the magic figure!
