upside downer

Cheers for that. I've had a quick listen last night to everyone's and, as usual, both the variety of ideas and quality of the tunes is a credit to all.

After a fight with both my ageing laptop and a cranky Soundcloud, I've finally managed to upload this month's effort. The Sage. Who is he? Where did he come from? What does he want? What does he know? Why has he started breakdancing in the old part of town? Has he got the moves? Can he still do them? Will we have to call an ambulance for the mysterious old coot? There's a wee bit of guitar and a drum sample (or two) from Looperman but Ableton is Employee of the Month as I cobbled the various synth and bass lines together by programming everything using the 'noises library' within.

Wish I did have, I'd just wibble about in front of it randomly for five minutes and, hey presto, there's this month's entry sorted 😄

I'm still staring at the picture

I stare at the picture for a fortnight then manage to come up with some old guff with a day or so to spare. Works for me 🙃

I'm more worried about the old boy with the sickles for hands in the background. What if he needs to pick his nose?

I usually give them all two or three listens before voting. Rather do that than put Radio 2 on 😁

Really enjoyed the tunes this month. As Len pointed out, it's a shame that, on a site for musicians, so few manage to find half an hour or so to listen to them. Hey ho, so it goes, it's still great fun!

Now Glastonbury is over, have some more music and get over to the Basschat Composition Challenge for June and vote for some mighty fine tunes 👍

The Prodigy. Return of the voodoo people. Rave on.

Watching The Brian Jonestown Massacre is a fine opportunity for lookalike spotting. Neil Young is singing, one of the geeky students from The Simpsons is drumming and they even had @Stub Mandrel playing hand drums on their first song.

Yes! Goat are on now. Get your freak on, people!

Just catching up with them. It's a good old row, ain't it? And I'm a sucker for two drummers flailing around.

"The very big probe" 😄 I hope I don't absent-mindedly sing that out loud when I'm doing this week's big shop 🎵

One man's Larkin is another man's larking. It's a fine line 😉 Oooh! I'll take that, guv'nor 👍
