November voting Challenge , can you ? ...composition content

[lurksalot]

Having shared the top step in October with @Al Nico , I wanted to get November started with a weekend ahead of us , so I took the liberty of choosing a quick holiday snap .

 

Its a 'fishing' village called Olhos de Agua on the Algarve , I say fishing, but its pretty much tourists, as the boats don't seem to move very often! 

 

Some lovely cliffs and beaches, oranges and lemons, and a billion hotels and apartment blocks.

 

 

 

 

Have a listen to the following tracks and vote for your favourite 3 tracks  and don't forget the December challenge is, by tradition, a cover challenge , so have a think on! 

 

 

 

1  @Baloney Balderdash   Dark secrets lure in the ocean for the foolhardy surfer, shattering the seemingly idyllic beach life, in this unsettling electro surf metal piece:

 

 

 

 

 

2  @Al Nico  Time to launch the power boat and tear about skimming the waves (watching out for surfers not).

 

 

 

 

 

3 @Leonard Smalls  I remembered how Portugal, back in the early 2000s decriminalised drug use... So I was reminded of classic US 50s scare-movie, Reefer Madness. Hence quotes from US 50s movies on the dangers of The Weed!

 

 

 

 

 

4 @Chiliwailer Mermaid Lament  - the boats are abandoned on shore and the fisherman have gone. As the mermaids sing for their loss, sounds represent the waves carrying their lament to the beach, while the bass pounds steadily like the countdown of time ticking away..

 

 

 

 

 

5  @upside downer   A light and frothy tune with a Portuguese title that translates as Hate Everybody Immediately, ha, no, not really, it means Sleepy Village. I could imagine supping a cold beer in one of the beach huts and listening to this. Mind you, I could also sit in one of them listening to Wake Up by Rage Against the Machine, so what do I know?

 

 

 

 

 

6  Lurksalot  the guy was out of luck fishing , sold up and spent his days trying to romance the holiday makers , or something like that 

 

 

 

 

 

7 @Jean-Luc Pickguard  This is the ritual of visiting the seaside as observed by a visitor from another planet.

 

 

 

Thats your lot for this month, and a fine selection they are to.

 

I reckon vote for your favourite 3 if you can whittle it down 

 

voting will end at midnight on 30/11 

 

good luck and don't forget the December challenge is, by tradition, a cover challenge , so have a think on!
