Dad3353 Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 OK, I've voted, but I maintain that it's not good enough. I'll have a think and see if there's not a system which allows for more recognition for all the entries. Having one out in front is fine (and well deserved, each time..! ), but there are [i]so [/i]many (all..?) that deserve to be honoured. For instance, how about the Eurovision-type system, awarding (for 10 entries...) 1 for least, 2 for better... up to 10 for best of bunch..? They'd still be a clear winner, but every other would also get at least [i]some [/i]points..? They're all [i]too [/i]good, that's the problem..! A bit less quality would make it far easier. Hmm... I'll be back. Quote
ezbass Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I've voted and it was a close run thing between 3 entries, but Bilbo got the final nod from me. There were 3 that didn't play for me, just silence, don't know why. Quote

Stephen Houghton Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) I could get the missus to attempt a version of the Polish entry, WHICH SHOULD OF WON, check it out for blatant use of sexual suggestion. It cracked me up, not that I watched it (oh the shame) I just happened to flick over in an advert break.

What's all this about bearded, too..? I see no facial hair on the girls in the video, despite close inspection..! Still, if beards count towards victory in our Challenge, I've a headstart on more than a few of you, I'm sure. Not quite ZZ Top, but not far short..! We'll revise the rules to have a recent photo included, then, eh..? Meanwhile we'll eagerly await seeing your good lady dancing '[i]à la Polonaise[/i]'. Cameras rolling... Quote
Woodinblack Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Strange, I listened to all of them and when I got to timhiggins, it didn't make any sound. I knew there was something wrong, as there were comments, but no sound. Then my wife tried it, no sound. Then i tried it in firefox, it worked. So they all worked in safari apart from that one, which worked in firefox.. Quote

SimonEdward Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Well! A very challenging (gotta think out of the box) theme this month, so well done to you all.. but, when it came down to voting, there was not even a short-list - a little bit unexpected... but a stand out winner for me vote Cheers! Quote

I've just quickly tested Tim's link on my phone and a colleague's laptop and it seems to be working fine. Is anyone else having problems with it? [b][size=5]UPDATE:[/size][/b] quickly stopped at a cafe with in Aberystwyth with WiFi... tested the link on another laptop and sure enough there's no sound when the track plays in Safari, but there is via Firefox. Weird!! Must be a browser issue of some kind. I've just re-attached the link at the start of this thread and it now seems to be working fine. Very sorry Tim! I used Firefox myself, but I'll make sure the links get tested in Safari in future. Edited May 29, 2014 by Skol303 Quote

the boy Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 I can't stop singing one of these songs. It's stuck In my head. It's not the song I voted for though. Some great tracks this month. Quote

lowdown Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Voted and well done all. Down to two for me in the end. They both sat well with the picture, although both very different in style. Quote
SubsonicSimpleton Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Damn this was tough, very high standard making the final decision very difficult, everyone who submitted an entry this time really deserves recognition for their efforts regardless of the winner as far as I am concerned. Well done. Quote
Kirky Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) Voted. Well done everyone. I wanted to join in this month, had a good idea which I developed but just don't have the time or wherewithal to get it recorded. Hats off to those that manage it. Edited June 1, 2014 by Kirky Quote
AL-the-Bassman Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Voted, great tracks this month by all, but one stood out for me , great groove, great feel Quote
the boy Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Well done Stephen houghton. Very nice track. Congrats mate. Quote
Stephen Houghton Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Yeah......................................life is complete, I have finally achieved a major goal in life, to top the composition comp Seriously, well done everyone there were some great entries this month and the standard of production is getting better all the time, I voted for Lord Sausage, I really liked his track wasn't an easy decision though, there were a couple of others came a very close second.

Dad3353 Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Wow..! What a cracker this month turned out to be..! Well done, of course, Stephen, for a worthy victory, although, without taking any credit from your work, the other offerings ran you a hard chase..! Brilliant stuff from all. My own vote went to what could be called an underdog, although that's a very disparaging way to describe such a fine piece. No, no losers this month,only winners, with one getting more 'wins' than the rest..! OK, Stephen, so where's your pic, eh..? Eh..? Can we see the new pic, can we..? Can we..? Eh..? Where is it, eh..? Eh..? Edited June 3, 2014 by Dad3353 Quote
Stephen Houghton Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 How do I upload one, cant paste it in here and hasn't got a link as its on my computer? Quote
