Not that I want to deliberately elbow ahead of the 9-page discussion on "Let's define cover band" [i] ([/i][i]tip: it's a band that plays mostly or exclusively cover songs - there you go, job done [/i])[i].[/i] But...

Perhaps we need a "Basschat Covers Competition" with real cash prizes...

You know I have toyed with the idea of a covers competition one month, just as a brief departure from the regular challenge

It may yet happen... although the ca$h prize is likely to be a little more conceptual in nature.

Just listened and voted. Most enjoyable, thanks all!

[MoonBassAlpha]

No, thank YOU! I won't have to have a little cry now for getting no votes on my first go, and it's all thanks to you. I love you man!

well it's very weird, which is generally a good thing with me!

[EliasMooseblaster]

Excellent stuff all round chaps, not an easy choice to make, but choose I must.

[Mornats]

Voted Some really nice atmospheric ones this month. I went for the ones that summed up the feeling of being there the most. And I was actually there! So thanks to you all for putting out some really nice sounds to what is my favourite photo that I've ever taken. Cheers!

[MoonBassAlpha]

I had a comment that the words in my tune weren't discernible enough to make out the meaning, so this is more or less what I sang:

Air is thin, got a lot of u.v.
Drops on my head on my hypo-t
(It’s) What I need for my s.a.d.
Got to get my D

Sun beams down like a sheet of rain
Mood lighting lightens then we’re in the game
Traces of the dark might still remain, but
D gets to work on my bones and brain

Hope you don't mind!
Cheers
