Bilbo Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I have no problem with people drinking, I just find talking/reminiscing about it dull! (if you think about it, as a non-drinker, it would be like me talking about Jazz at a Folk club). I remember as a much younger man, going to the pub with the 'lads' and listening to them talk about how many pints they had and how sick Fred was and who did what stupid things.... it got [i]really[/i] dull after a while. I have been thinking about the 'other' potential angles and have some things I can explore if I can get the time (Christmas don't half eat into your free-time, doesn't it?).

[/quote] There is not a lot more f***ing boring than boring people talking about there boring and boorish drunken episodes. Bores the sh*t out of me but I laugh heartily and say fackin 'ell that must have hurt mate! Har har har! But inside I am dying. I quite like the idea that this is a poor lonely fat fella with mental and physical health problems, who only gets any nice attention at Christmas and looks forward desperately towards it all year. The picture is actually taken in July. He has a dream that one day someone will fall in love with him and tries too hard to make people like him, but they are instead very wary of him. But the story has a happy ending, although no-one falls in love with him, a stray dog sits with him and when he wakes from his alcoholic stupor they become the best of friends and have adventures together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sausage Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Well on the way with mine. This time there is less composition and some vocals. So maybe i will get more votes this time ........i doubt it, i will be surprised if i get one. I don't care how many i get anyway. It's good just to be writing!

steve Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 after just get back from seeing Gary Numan, I've been inspired to have a rethink.

Love it. Thing is, I'm actually picturing that story when I look at the photo now!! (in my head the guy is played by Mongo from Blazing Saddles). There's a TV series here for the taking...

Probably going to try something a bit more electronic and grimey this month. Although we did put the tree up at the weekend and like you, I started to get a flutter of feeling festive! Still, nothing that some mangled electronica can't squash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skol303 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) In case anyone's interested in covering, parodying, bastardising or otherwise butchering a Christmas classic this month... here's a useful article giving examples of some popular Christmas songs that are - and aren't - in the public domain (i.e. copyright-free): LINK: [url="http://diymusician.cdbaby.com/2010/10/dont-let-a-lawsuit-drain-your-christmas-cheer-holiday-music-and-the-public-domain/"]http://diymusician.c...-public-domain/[/url] Edited December 4, 2012 by Skol303 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiltyG565 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Jingle goebells, rudolph the nazi nosed reindeer. Don't know why i decided to link some lovely songs to as political party like that. If i believed in hell, i would most certainly be going there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbass4k Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Definitely back in this month, that picture for me conjures up ambient gloom drone because it's kinda depressing, or fast heavy post-hardcore riff-fest, because clearly a lively night of drinking has preceded it, can't decide which to opt for.
