try again https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/tout-de-suite-harold just trying something currently if the link embeds, it cant find the track. any soundcloud I try to play on the PC just has the little dot gif which suggests it is trying , but nothing else happens.. it's great when things just work , but boy is it a PITA when it just doesn't

its doing my head in , AAAAAAAAGHHHHH

Can the next person through let me know if this plays please. I seem to be unable to get Soundcloud to play anything on this PC all day, this might get messy if it doesn't work for me by voting time !! Tout de suite Harold ...... I need to try a new upload ..... Pooh they all play on my phone , that has me stumped then !

I was about to pop mine up, but I think either Soundcloud has a bug or my main machine has! I can't get any of the SoundCloud links to play at the moment , I'll try again later

I have decided on a tune to record, got the basics down , and just need to ruin it by putting my voice all over it . just thinking now , Lurksalittle is back home , I might try and persuade her to join in 😂.

I’ve got a can of own brand I bought from Tandy back in the day , I don’t use it much either 😁

I got one as well , and I think that that was generous to me given the entries this month, anyway, I digress, this is where it's at now..... its official

Well done to @AndyTravis who won the November challenge, he will in due course be invited to post the picture for the January challenge, however, with another year about to disappear from the calendar, we need to celebrate whatever music floats our individual boats. It is thus time to let us hear that incredible cover version, whether it is a full-blown studio production, a garage band knock up, or a quick take from an inspirational night on the pop, we want to hear it. Any cover version that you or your band have/will have recorded at any point between 1st January and 23rd December will be welcome. All of the usual rules apply with a few additional caveats: It doesn't have to be a Christmas song. You're welcome to submit anything recorded this year (not just from December), so there's no excuse for those of you in cover bands not to enter. Don't go lifting any samples from whatever song you intend to cover, as that will breach the usual terms and conditions leading to extreme punitive measures. This time of year a bagpipe truce is allowed! But that still doesn't make them right! I think that covers everything , so go for it deadline is midnight on 23rd December , so dive in

Well done Andy 👍 You can choose a picture towards the end of December for the January challenge. I just realised, I started the December one early last year to get a move on. the thread will go up as soon as I can today.

Awesome selection , just awesome , some fantastic ideas and incredible playing in that lot. That took some whittling down I can tell you !

As I haven’t left the house yet 😂 voting thread amendment done

I like a lot if his stuff, but after a properly crap gig at the Liverpool philharmonic last year he should have given everyone their money back. I know if people offer a product or service and properly fluff it, the payment for it becomes moot , if a show properly fluffs it , well, we can all just suck up our £85 a head ticket price can’t we 🤬

Ok all A day or so early as I am tied up this weekend, and I like to do the vote thread on the PC, as it will get messy if I try on the phone/ipad

It seems like a bit of a short month this time but with December next week, I guess it's time to get voting! Just a quick note regarding December, it will, as tradition, be a cover song challenge, any cover you have recorded over the year will also be welcome. As per usual, I have had all year to think of a cover to do, but have not yet decided! Anyway back to business... The Inspiration for November was chosen by last month's worthy winner @SH73 who offered us .... "Something futuristic" So please use your 3 Votes to pick your faves from the following... 1 @AndyTravis Its a holding track , I think ( Lurks) 2 @Dad3353 Just keep going. Don't look up, keep your eyes down and try to look natural... 3 @Boodang The image reminds me a of the game Bio Shock. With that in mind this is the result. 4 Lurksalot We had grand little Lurks over last weekend , and he played the piano for a while , when I say played, we set the soundscape, I hit the record button, and he had some fun making a lot of the noises. It was ideally a soundtrack for one of our 'expeditions' in a star wars kind of way, but I did a bit of cutting and restructuring and I thought it fitted this quite well, if a little dark. 5 @Leonard Smalls I got to thinking about a certain type of person for whom the future is only acceptable if it stays exactly the same as the present, hence a ditty about some bloke who won't never grow up. 6 @Wolfram The soundtrack to a carefully-planned and executed mission to rescue the Princess and her people. Channelling a little Vangelis maybe, and segueing into a full-on dance track, I present "Follow Me"! 7 @MoonBassAlpha I got a strong Blade Runner Vibe from the pic, so there's a bit of that ambient element, but then I DO enjoy bashing the drums too 8 @sammybee the 4 in the foreground look like they are heading home after a heavy night in the club as the sun rises.. 9 @upside downer Get me out of the Paranoid City, where the trees are scorched and the living is gritty, oh, won't you please take me home? A wary and weary band of cyberpunks plot their route through the mean streets where fear, suspicion and mistrust rule. 10 @fingers211 At some time in the future, (actually it's 18 minutes after the Rush album), if you have a thought of your own or one deemed to be out of the collective, then a blue light glows round your head only seen by the "Thought Spotters" . Once spotted, you're escorted out the city gate !! 11 @BabyBlueSound Halloween is long gone, but the Post-Halloween Prowl is still on! Cheer up, hit the derelict streets, get your digital sweeties, and try to have some fun for once in this wasteland 12 @SH73 Human T`Error inspired by Terminator movies Weighed in , Weighed in That's 12 pieces of original compositions for your delectation , have fun listening and choosing your Favourite 3 Voting ends at midnight November 30th

Elvis Costello , he deserves this..

Saw Ian Prowse tonight , superb show , tells it from his heart, musically fantastic.
