upside downer

From that BBC report - It opens with a repetitive piano figure that transitions into a booming bass beat, as the AI Drake raps: "I came in with my ex like Selena to flex/ Bumpin' Justin Bieber the fever ain't left." Yep, we're done for, it has got our penchant for gibberish lyrics down to a tee!

Is it on show again? My zip's broken, you see. My cunning plan has turned out to be a busted flush and now I feel foolish.

I can't answer that as I'm never visiting this vulgar site ever again. From...now!

I have never been so insulted! I shall on no account visit this vulgar site again! ::burns all bass gear and goes to live the life of a hermit in a cave just outside Polperro, Cornwall::

Eating a Ferrero Rocher.

Yeah, man! Yemen!

This has just 'dropped', as I believe the terminology now goes. Anyone here from Penge?

That's not a capo, that's a jazz woodbine and he's too stoned to realise he hasn't wedged it up at the headstock.

Bravo, Andy 👏 cracking tune!

Fancy a mocca? OK! Let's head to Thailand and listen to OK Mocca...

These are so good 👏 So difficult to whittle it down to 3 so I'll have yet another listen tomorrow before voting. That's no bad thing, a quality batch.

This fits the bill.

Polska!

"Hands up! Nobody move! Hey, you! I'm Mrs D! Do a tune that has no chance of winning 'cus my fella won last month and now he's had the sweet taste of victory he wants more!" "Fair enough, but you don't have to wave a gun in my face for me to come up with something barely adequate and eminently beatable. I do mediocre most of the time" "Just get on with it, wiseguy" "Can I put my arms down, please? It's a little hard to play, otherwise" "Don't get smart, or you'll get this, capiche?" BANG! "Oi! You shot my bagpipes!" Gear - Spider cheapo brand bass, unbranded cheapo Strat-copy guitar, Epiphone guitar, Yamaha keys, Apogee Mic+, MT Drums, all mushed together with Ableton, Wavepad and Audacity.

Jah, Venezuela!

North African reggae from Algeria's Democratoz.

Off to the Netherlands (although the gig's in Italy) for this curio from Dutch footballing legend Ruud Gullit.

Been held up in Indonesia for the last 48 hours for, erm, 'customs irregularities' but, having stowed aboard a slow boat to Australia, happened upon this lot...

Heading over to Indonesia for this laid back tune.

One from Ukraine for today.

"We come from the land of the ice and snow...", Icelandic smooth groove from Hjálmar. This just gets better and better the more I hear it (and it was pretty good to start with!)

I've been through four different genres already but, finally, my muse has pulled something up from the seabed of song fragments wallowing upon the ocean floor and it's now time to set sail for Composition Island. Doesn't mean it'll be any good, but still, ahoy, me hearties!
