Ralph, who always insists on attending our rehearsals, and then curls up on the floor farting and snoring, would be much more useful to the band if he took the lead of his puppet counterpart.

I wonder whether they are specially bred toneworms?

Daryl Hall & John Oatmilk

I fail to see what that has to do with BCers having a bit of fun on the weekend making silly pics of themselves as puppets.

How about starting a separate thread for the ethics of AI and keeping this one for the silly pics of BCers as puppets?

You can now upload a photo to Chat GPT and pompt it to generate an image based on that image including adding musical instruments and specifying the person in the image to be shown as a puppet. eg I uploaded a headshot and entered the prompt: So let's see your you as a muppet. Here's mine

Here's my entry. Just in time for the deadline. This is about Quantum mechanics, specifically that quarks are never found alone — they are always stuck together in particles like mesons, which are made of a quark and an antiquark, or baryons — like protons and neutrons. When you try to pull a quark and antiquark apart, the force between them gets stronger, like stretching a really tight rubber band. If you keep pulling, you give it so much energy that instead of breaking apart, new quarks appear from that energy thanks to E=mc². Instead of ending up with a single quark and antiquark, you now get two new pairs each comprised of a single quark and antiquark stuck together. The song is divided into four verses, with each one focusing on a specific topic: 1. Quark Confinement Basics 2. The Rise of Confinement Energy 3. Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) 4. The Hadronization process All instruments apart from the bass were programmed in Logic using logic's built-in instruments and all processing was performed by logic's built-in FX. Alchemy was used for the 303ish Acid loop that repeats throughout. There's also an analog sounding pad plus transistor organ and electric piano. I used a text to speech app to make the lead vocal and fed this into the EVOC 20 vocoder on the chorus sections. The bass part was recorded using my Rickenbacker 4003, with each pickup routed to a separate track via the Rick-O-Sound output. This allowed me to use the bass pickup throughout the song, with alternate eight bar sections having the fuzzed treble pickup added in. My new 'band' name came from the bandname.uk web app I made.

I bought a thomann safecase 80 for my 4003 and I don't think its possible to buy a better specced bag for the price (£120) https://www.thomann.co.uk/thomann_safecase_80_e_bass_bag.htm It is made for Thomann by Music Area, who sell the same thing with their own brand for a higher price.

I’ve had a few from Brian — The ones I bought were always a very good fit and he has a wide range of materials to choose from.

I used to just mumble incoherently if I didn’t know the lyrics. Probably explains why I’m no longer a vocalist.
