Nail Soup

Aha! I don't see Robbie Williams in that list 😉.........

Of course there is the opposite case….. Squier. Normally pronounced correctly, not always spelled so.

Agree with the comments about the song choices. I can forgive that the producers engineered some difficulties in.... it's a TV show and they had to give it a narrative. But the song choices are a snooze-fest.

Steve Albini (Alt rock producer.... kinda lo-fi I guess) has offered to produce it. I'd be interested to hear it as a collaboration with Jack White of the White Stripes. Songs co-Written by Dolly/Jack, and arranged by Dolly/Jack too. Recorded by Steve Albini.

I quite like “bastardised”

I think he was more bored by the song.... not exactly his style. When asked to do a solo for the same song he did a pretty good job.

Looks like Dolly has opted out. Snip from Daily Mirror: Writing on Instagram on Monday, the singer told her fans: “Dolly here! Even though I am extremely flattered and grateful to be nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, I don’t feel that I have earned that right. I really do not want votes to be split because of me, so I must respectfully bow out. “I do hope that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will understand and be willing to consider me again – if I’m ever worthy. This has, however, inspired me to put out a hopefully great rock ‘n’ roll album at some point in the future, which I have always wanted to do!

Something like Anarchy in the UK ….. normally get that after the first two notes.

To be fair, I rarely have need to say these words out loud to another human.

Episode 3 of the somewhat contrived but hopefully entertaining show. I think they may have practice gigs tonight.

Here is my contribution for March 2022. Blurb: Daffodils always remind me of a works trip to a daffodil festival. The organiser has a son with some kind of nuerotype which leads to argumentative behaviour, which is very difficult for his parents. This is one of the few works trips he didn't come on. That is one of the topics covered. Technical Notes: Studio One DAW, piano-roll drums (Dope Kit), Vantage Bass, Squier Tele gtr, Mai-Tai keys played via Akai-mini, Beheriger condesor mic.

Sounded clean at low volume. I cranked it up and could hear some kind of low-level noise. You play a riff 4 times.... seemed to get louder after the first rep.

I can recommend loads more like that if you change your mind 😉

It's a not so bad

Don’t know if this counts but English Rose by The Jam was played on the radio at the weekend and I got it from the opening sea sounds.

When you say name it in one, do you mean one note of the record or one note on a piano like the quiz show?

I used to really like P&TTTB and enjoy the humour. Still do. I used to have a P*ssed and Proud T-shirt. Good example line from "The Moped Lads": The moped lads, they think they're bad If you hit them, they tell their dads

I know the song well, being a 6music listener! I think the whole thing is very good. Because I mainly hear it 'in order', to me it seems like the song is already good, and then that riff comes in a raises it even more. (disclaimer: but I do like that kind of 'spoken word' delivery)

As far as I know it’s an original part of the song. But I can see how it would get used in TV etc.

Is it the guitar hook you have been hearing?

Just restarted the PC..... back to 89% usage... before I'd opened Edge or the DAW or any app.

Started using Edge (to log onto Basschat) and now the usage is up to 80% with the old Windows manager issue: Studio one is still open, same song. But only 120BM. Even playing the song takes it up to 221MB. Strange.

I tried making a dummy track.... and following the results in memory usage: Seems like amplitube is causing big jumps. And it goes down again after a break - does that make any sense? It's whe nthe total memory usage goes into the high 80's that I get audio issues. And even the nthe DAW is only using max 3GB. I might get some more RAM , but still seems like the PC is wasting a load of RAM. On Edit: Just thought.... I didn't have Amplitube on the old PC.

I've tried running windows diagnostic on memory.... it says there are no issues found.

I know of a band who get together each week (or whatever) and compose and arrange an instrumental track. At the end a band associate comes in, listens to the track and gives it a title. He’s good with words…. fanzines and so on. Then pub I think.
