I think it's funny. Especially the reply. Also i hope the band name really is Supple tits!

[quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1416132878' post='2607091'] Ok, so I'm tired and grumpy because I was out gigging last night and feel the need to rant. I'll start by saying that I love the guys in my band and I love what we do, but after last night I'm wondering why we bother. We played a fair way away from home in a pub we were playing for the second time, played till after midnight and got the princely sum of £150 between 5 of us AND we provided PA. Granted the place was small, and it wasn't packed but after only a few hours sleep before the kids got up, I'm asking myself why I bother. Barely got enough money to cover the fuel to get there and back let alone maintain my gear and am wondering if I'm the only one who feels like this?? [/quote] Depends what you do it for! Love or money!

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1416085889' post='2606811'] is there nothing that guy can do. [/quote] Reach things in high places!

Really liked it!

Ok, finished. Here is my entry. Can't do any more work on it after today so it is what it is. Went more down the sample route this month just so i could get one done. Here it is [url="https://soundcloud.com/dreaded-ted/a-little-bit-of-disco"]https://soundcloud.c...le-bit-of-disco[/url]

Head stock sticky fings

Love the groove when it proper kicks in! http://youtu.be/AybUd-GaUC4?list=RDAybUd-GaUC4

Mines half done. mainly sampled stuff this time. Haven't got time for the usual stuff this month as off on rehearsals then mini tour. If it ain't finsihed this week i won't enter.

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1414950058' post='2594974'] I have a 62 reissue fender jazz fretless (CIJ). First fretless i bought. Used it once or twice then got a five string fretless. So it never gets used. I should sell it really as i can't imagine using it, but its so pretty and my first so can't bring myself to. [/quote] Think I might have to sell it! I think I've lost my sons new i pad. Can't find it and I have a horrible feeling I put it on the roof of a car whilst loading. If it's lost I'll be selling the bass to buy him a new one!

Anyone else just plug in, fiddle with eq, then play. I really don't think about an overall tone to have all the time. Just a tone de jour really!

No one! Never really cared. Just care about the notes really! Tho to be fair Duff's sound at the beginning of Right Next Door To Hell on Use your Illusion 1 is the reason I picked up a bass. So nearly one!

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1414607248' post='2591305'] I was looking for something wooly for Xmas. [/quote]well done, sir!

Why thank you very much. Eloquently put. Was what I was aiming for. All my melodies are tuneless by the way

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1414573747' post='2590728'] I've read the article again, and can't see where she says this? She quotes RD saying it, and then goes on to say why he's talking bollocks. [/quote][quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1414573747' post='2590728'] I've read the article again, and can't see where she says this?

The bollocks Daltrey was talking was about music needing angst and purpose.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1414581113' post='2590863'] Hmm. You've not read yours yet..! [/quote]ha ha!

I must say these are all good critiques of the work.

I'm on a mini tour in November. We have a day off in Wimbledon on the above date. Do any BC'ers have a gig on that night as some of the band will be going out that night?

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1414541660' post='2590587'] Pseudo intellectual pretentious bollox, if you ask me. Which you didn't [/quote] Ha ha. i was just gonna say the exact thing. That she is talking as much bollocks as Daltrey. Music doesn't have to have angst and purpose to be valid.

It's between two entries for me,Bilbo's and alibabu. When i look at the picture i get a sense of sadness from the robot. Also the overall colour of the for painting gives a moody vibe so i went for what i think captured that the most. ( I just noticed when i came to write this that alibabu had voted for me, this is a genuine vote, not just cos he did for me haha)

[quote name='alibabu' timestamp='1414438161' post='2589300'] I had a hard time choosing between several thought-through and well produced entries this month. Bilbo's composition skills should be well known to all that have been following these competitions for a while, just as much as Skol's pro quality productions. But since the essence of this competition is making music that matches a picture, I had to go with his Lordship the Sausage this time. Excellent production with lots of layers that blend well, and makes repeated listening interesting. I especially like the subtle "pulse" that drives the piece forward without taking too much place in the mix. [/quote] Thank you very much kind sir.

[quote name='alibabu' timestamp='1414567697' post='2590651'] Hi! It is obvious that you guys know what you are doing. The song list is varied with a good mix of old goodies and new stuff, the piano player doubling as as a sax player works well, and at least most of the time, you sound tight and well rehearsed. One major issue though, is that I would try to improve the audio on the video. It sounds like it is a single mic (maybe stereo) recording, with auto gain (or really high limiting/compression going on), which is ok for recording speech, but a real pain to listen to for music recordings. Preferrably, I would like to hear a multitrack recording, but a decent stereo recording can also be achieved with a couple of good mics and a digital recorder. But no auto gain please:-) [/quote]yeah, what he said!
