Very apt indeed; swings like a rocking chair. Jolly well done, sir.

(...[i]PS: I thought I'd better mention that the intonation seems a bit 'out'[/i]... )

Our band just happened to have a rare get together last weekend, and wrote a song wot would be perfect for this, as it's called "Bedtime".
I've laid down the bassline over a sequence and Dropboxed it to the guitarist (who lives in France), who'll add his bit, then he'll send it to drummer, singer and other guitarist (who live in Sheffield, Peak District and Manchester respectively) who'll stick their bits on and mix it.
Hopefully we'll get it in in time!

Good stuff, go for it!

Sounds like my kinda band... I'm currently producing some tracks with folks split between Manchester, London and the US. It's what the internet was made for, eh

Cheers!
And funnily enough, we wrote it at bedtime while somewhat the worse for wear...

My original plan for this picture was a rumpety pumpety trombone trumpet type mash. However when my daughter asked me why the elephant was sad the picture took On a whole other dimension for me. Hope you like it.

Made this on my phone again. GarageBand app for the phone is really good.

great track. great vocals .

[Skol303]

Ok, I'm in

I put this together hastily today, so I haven't had chance to road-test it beyond my headphones… but time was of the essence!

Fretless bass - of which I'm a 'noob' player - and there are plenty of spots where my intonation sucks. As does my singing in places. But it adds to the charm, or something The heavily-FX'd guitar during the middle section is my trusty £20 Gumtree special ([url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/211966-just-bought-a-vintage-fake-for-l20/"]this one[/url]), which I'm hoping to spruce up over the holiday if I get chance between feasting and sleeping.

Anyway, here's the track:

Looks like we have maybe half a dozen entries this month? - I need to do a stock check - so well done to everyone who managed it with Christmas looming large.

I'll be posting up the voting thread tomorrow at midnight, so there's still chance if you're twiddling or deliberating…

[AL-the-Bassman]

Great Track there Skol ,
Nice fretless tone and i thought your vocals sounds like 3d from massive attack. which is a good thing ! .
Well done

[Dad3353]

I was thinking more along the lines of 'Lee Marvin meets NIN' ([i]take that as a complement..![/i] ), but that's just me. Another good one, Skol.

[Skol303]

^ Thanks chaps! Kind words very gratefully received.

I'm looking forward to listening to yours and others over Christmas. Glass of port and a mince pie in hand

Voting thread will be posted up this evening...
