There is, somewhere in the Universe, on a far-flung planet, a place for music of the sort. There, Capt. Beefheart is revered, the lyrics of Doors tracks are fully understood and Canned Heat drones resound endlessly around the vast plains. Meals are taken out on the gun emplacement, thus avoiding unnecessary queuing for a seat on the quarterdeck. No anger, no violence, no angst, just the incessant driving forward (or not...) of the musical boundaries that encircle that globe. Yes, it is in rapid expansion; inevitably our dear planet Earth will become, in time (probably 4/4...), engulfed in the raucous circus of it all, and we'll thank Lenny for having brought it to our ears first. Or not. Mighty meaty, matey; thanks for sharing. Edited July 9, 2017 by Dad3353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the boy Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I've got a little ditty on the go. The picture instantly reminded me of my old neighbours and all their stories about their dancing days. Almost done. Hope to post soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smalls Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Due to weather, I thought I'd see what I could do in 2 1/2 hours... The answer is this little bit of weirdness, especially for our ex-pat members with a love of the accordion! And it's been fiddled with some more now, link is in the future!

Have you been taking lyric writing lessons from mr Lurksalot? Very lurksalotesque lyrics. Doesn't quite have the same ring as kafkaesque but I think the term lurksalotesque may catch on.

Mornats Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 It's looking like I won't be able to get one in this month. That will break a 19 month unbroken streak of entries I had an idea but sadly not the time to execute it, or even start it. I blame a brief period of going on a few dates (extremely rare for me). Maybe there's time at the weekend... maybe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonBassAlpha Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I've just knocked something together. The question now is whether to try and put drums on it and make it worse. I suspect Len Goodman would dislocate his hip trying to dance to it, what with the alternating bars of 9 and 7, and the random odd 8 thrown in there. Despite that, I think it sounds quite romantic. So: to drum or not to drum....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamg67 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Now I've finally got some time for writing again, and have resolved to learn how my DAW and related things actually work, this looks like just the thing to get me doing something... well that's what I thought until I saw the July picture, which seemed very much not up my street. But, you don't learn if you don't try so I had a last minute change of heart and had a go anyway. Unfortunately it turned into a sort of strange latin rock blues thing half way through, but it's better than I expected [url="https://soundcloud.com/adamgx/charangatangorock"]https://soundcloud.com/adamgx/charangatangorock[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILD FROG SHOT Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) I'm not going to make the deadline; unfortunately preparing to rehearse with my new band has taken up most of my writing time this month. I have something started, but the post-rock tango is unlikely to be fit for human ears until after the voting has finished.
