Welcome aboard, @Ebenue

Getting funky with the young Turks.

Ner ner ner ner ner ner ner...H'ANGUS!

Bravo @SH73, nice one!

Two brothers playing oud and saz supported by a drummer. Really talented.

I mean, I've liked it but I also wanted to put a laughing face 😄 Graham Bonnet 'loitering' near a fridge, there's an image that'll stick in my head for a while!

Here's mine. Skank said there's scope to write a tune about absolutely anything in relation to the picture. I was planning to use only samples but that idea died like a louse in a Russian's beard so instead I've written a tune about everything and nothing. It's a tune that exists digitally in this universe. There, nailed the premise. Stuff used - Necarman elektro saz, Westfield violin bass, Yamaha keyboard, Hydrogen drum programme, Samplefocus vocal samples. Roland Cube for amp and all recorded using Wavepad and Audacity.

I used a Westfield copy in my rock/pop covers band for around three years and it did the job absolutely fine. It dealt with the heavier numbers really well and they're so light which is a bonus for those of us with back pain. Slight intonation issue up the dusty end at first but got that sorted. Staying in tune was never a problem.

Here in Northamptonshire it's about the same for pub gigs. I'm not currently playing live so I don't know if there's any post-covid restructuring of the price scale by wily landlords trying to bash down the cash due to bands being desperate to get out there and play again.

I've been more offended* by the barrage of tripe that has come out of shows like The X-Factor, American Idol or Britain's Got Another Identikit Pretty Boy Warbler over the last 20 years than any of the acts mentioned here so far. *offended as in 'felt ennui through repetitiveness' due to other TV shows/TV adverts/shops etc insisting that an anodyne tune by some chancer off of one of these Cowell-approved televisual banalities has to be playing loudly and intrusively whenever and wherever.

Jah Wobble.

Great version and a runaway winner, congrats! 👏

Your words of wisdom certainly do 👍

Here's a question - can I 'sample' myself (oo-er, missus) using snippets of my previous compositional efforts? My idea is to recycle segments into unrecognisable sounds from what they were before. It fits in with the theme of everything previous, everything now and everything to be but is it in the spirit of the challenge? Does it count as being recorded this month if the tune consists of re-recordings? Am I over-thinking this? My main concern, as always, is will it sound any good 🤪

Puts me back on track every time I hear it. May the road rise with you.

Does this bike have derail-leur gears?

Temporarily mended with sellotape?

Fixed.

The difference is the top picture does not have Tony Manero from 'Saturday Night Fever' walking along the touchline.

Think we've done something similar before - left the voting thread going but released the picture for January's Comp early. Makes sense!

I refuse to follow the same logo r.

Dunno. The label was printed by Stubz Label Printing Ltd.

I used to own this record until Len Plaice's ferret ate it with chips.

Cool. Got any that stop cats from scratching at your sofa?

He played his accordion at the Bon Accord Free Church in Aberdeen according to some, d'accord?
