I like it.

Our youngest (already a cynical beast, at his tender age..!) has whispered an interpretation in my ear which is now difficult to shift. Hmm. This may imply lyrics..! You have been warned; all is not as it seems.

[Mornats]

Interesting pic! Looking forward to this one.

Looks like The Funk to me!

Almost; more akin to 'hand-wringing', though.

I know that it is a poignant picture what with 11/11 , but I am getting Dastardly and Muttley flapping around trying to catch the pigeon

Enjoy ([i]et bon appétit[/i]...).

[cheddatom]

ace lyrics! I'm a bit off put by the effects on the voice 'cos I'm listening on headphones and some of the weird effects are panned very hard. Anyway, I really like it

I'm hoping to enter something myself this month but we'll see if I get any time to myself in the studio

I compose and mix on headphones only, these days; the fx are not really panned, but rather applied differently left to right. I'll listen again to see what I can do (but no guarantee, deaf as I am..! ). Thanks for listening and commenting; it's appreciated.

It's disappeared for now; I don't know why (but it's surely Skol's fault..!).
Here it is, until it comes back in its rightful place...

[Skol303]

UPDATE: reports are that Photobucket links have been down for the last 15 hours or so.

Hopefully they'll fix the problem soon. Otherwise I'll implement Plan B and switch to another image host...

I, too am looking to change, but from Imgur. They're free, all right, but incapable of fixing my album problems. I'll see if Google Photo fits my bill. First world, eh..? Who'd have it..?

Flickr has been doing a fine job for me. The app is not too shabby either.

The pic instantly made me think of this song...

That's not dirty hands.
It's a bloke with rubber gloves doing terrible things to a bird... In a tank.
