Stephen Houghton Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 [quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1356166565' post='1907502'] I live down the road from you in Atherton so there is probably a bit of shared regional sense of humour in there! I wouldn't have toned down the lyrics at all. I wrote some truly shockers in one of the bands i was in, Band of Gold. You can check em out here if you can be arsed.

Skol303 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 [quote name='Bobby K' timestamp='1356045064' post='1906302'] Right then, here's my effort, make of it what you will. See the description on the Soundcloud page for the idea etc... [url="https://soundcloud.com/bobbie-k/so-peaceful"]https://soundcloud.c...e-k/so-peaceful[/url][/quote] Really enjoyed this composition - skillfully put together and nicely produced. The piano really fills out the track and your vocal is great. I dig the ending too, which adds to the melancholy. In all, very good work! [quote name='Stephen Houghton' timestamp='1356127344' post='1907322']Here's my entry, if easily offended dont listen. Not had any time to do anything so knocked this out for a laugh this afternoon, think it fits the picture well, hope you get the humour! [url="http://soundcloud.com/9thaspect/i-quit-bass-chat-competition-1"]http://soundcloud.co...t-competition-1[/url][/quote] Good one Stephen, very funny! It's as though your Jimmy from last month has put on a santa suit Lyrics had me genuinely LOL'ing in places. I particularly like the line "Peter wants a bag, Julie wants a cat, Steven wants everything the little t***!". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Ha! Cheers thanks a lot. We were quite popular in Wigan for a couple of months we did a few gigs and got quite a following. Then split up! We only set the band up as a joke. We were fed up of playing with original bands who were either up themselves or thought they were Rock n roll etc. So we wrote some ridiculous songs wore crazy outfits, all had alter egos and f***ed about but pretended we were the saviours off music. We were supposed to be satirising bands but everyone loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to have some endorsement from last month's winner It's been a pleasure to take part, dunno why I haven't done sooner really. Hope I can keep it up in future months' competitions.

Very good work for guitar/bass and FX. The track following it on your SoundCloud page is frickin great too - you've definitely got a knack for ambience PS: can't figure out the title reference. You'll have to spill the beans once this is over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skol303 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Ok, no schmancy songwriting from me this month. Instead I've bodged together a noisy electronic track that started out quite ambitious and soon got derailed due to me underestimating how long it'd take to make a decent job of it. So it's very much half-baked but the general idea is there - that being an attempt to recreate what it sounds like inside the head of festive drunkard (i.e. proper messy! ). It's mainly synth-based but has some 'real' bass playing in parts: a bit of mellow, octave pedal noodling half way thru and some angry, distorted Big Muff action at the rear end [i][insert pun here].[/i] It's definitely not "proper music" by most people's reckoning, so apologies in advance for any detrimental side-effects of listening... such as a deeply furrowed brow, compulsive tutting and a high risk of hernia while lurching for the off switch. https://soundcloud.com/skollob/xmess PS: here's wishing y'all a very merry Christmas and a cracking new year!
