    @JohnnyGoodyear well done, this reminds me of the old, less disciplined you, the one that used to hand his assignment in on the last day of term. In this case you even got another (absentee) student to help you with your homework, but you managed to keep the chain going, and that's all that matters. The chain is sacred.

    I like the fact that you left plenty of space for the music, with its subtle ebb and flow, to breathe behind the poem, and used the gaps well. The guitar paints a pretty, melancholy picture, but the words are not pretty. They speak (to me at least) of middle-age, decay, and death. Funny how the images of planes, and sperm, and lipstick, and toes, and knees, all mingle together in an icky subconscious soup, that paints a picture of someone facing their mortality, or at least their fragility and age.

    Maybe you should collaborate with marcel some more. Personally I would like to see all this: the delicate music, the vibe, the subject matter (decay, mortality etc) but with a killer vocal melody to make it into a song.

    Thanks Richard. Without question Mister @Marcel saved me. But you're right, the chain is all. If he hadn't been such a good Samaritan I would have still made something, even if it was dry weeping into Impaktor and shouting my shopping list (and then dealing with the shame :)).

    As for the poem, no accident (it is clear to me now) that much of the first draft was written just a little while before I ended up in ICU for nearly a month and then three more after that in a Texan rehab facility I wouldn't send an addicted dog to. The truck was coming, I just couldn't see it. For all of that, the bassist in the band I first played with once dismissed all of my lyrical output as a variation on two words: Dead and Black.

    Happy days.

    Jesus H. Had a reread after your explanation of when and why you wrote this. Can feel those words right where it hurts and healthier for it. They didn't send me to Priory either.

  • For the record (ha!), I posted a cleaned up version (of the vocals) that @Marcel kindly worked on and added it to the original post here. Definitely better than my cack-handed go at it.

    My new song, "Cara de Pau" - the title is an idiom for "shameless". Enjoy the tune, and have a nice week! Dimitri.

    Extremely accomplished, funky, with a Santana guitar vibe. Very likeable track.

    This is not a love song. Cheers PiL.

    Very nice sir, I think you need some of my Jah-esque basslines (which I've been practising recently) in there though for maximum wobblage. A solid, punchy thing - I reckon there's also room for some fragmented lead, some screaming and silly noises too. But a proper thing nonetheless.

    Sounds a bit like something I'd do - so in that case well done!

    @orchardman said:
    Something a bit different from us this month, instead of country tinged pop we have gone for a prog instrumental to make use of all the shiny synth apps I keep buying but never use.

    Lovely, I like the basslines in particular (that's my usual job in bands so pick up on those). Good track - would benefit from some vocals though to add a focal point.

    @supadom said:

    Hi All, it's been a while. I'm hearing quite a variety here this month. I got a chance to spend a few hours in my studio and sketched this song that's been in my head for a few days. Just a poppy tune with some frothy lyrics. Feel good shit, dig?

    I dig indeed - happy poppy stompalong bit of fun, that would go down very well at festivals. A jaunty synth line would go down well, but it's good to keep the bare bones and vibe of the thing.

    @ToMess said:
    Did this beat the other day:

    Used dm2, poison 202, steppolyarp and oriental strings on ipad routed to ableton and added extra drums on ableton

    Spiky, robotic and synthy. Great sound, I'd prefer some variation in the bassline as it repeats the whole way through...good sounds though.

    @richardyot said:
    My entry for the month, and I also need to catch up with everyone eles's stuff.

    Good quality track, despite the low tech circumstances. Nice, Dave-Gilmour esque sounding acoustic strumming - seems to end very suddenly though.I like the vocals, a bit wobbly but sticking to the Floyd theme they're a bit Syd in places.

    @JohnnyGoodyear said:
    I posted the first version of this (see below) and @Marcel kindly cleaned up the vocals after the event. Much clearer, less distracting in the sound, and thus more miserable (a good thing, given the context).

    I actually prefer the second version - the roughness sounds a bit like a double tracking, and gives the words a bit of an edge. Lovely guitar playing and tune, counterbalances the words perfectly. I've been wondering how long my knees are going to last too, they sound like the scrunching of plastic egg cartons when I climb the stairs.

    It was the knees that went first (rugby) and then the hips (laying about the place?). Still trying to catch that nasty lumbago all the old people used to talk about when I was a kid, but no luck so far....

    Knees went first for me too - lugging railway sleepers about for a garden landscape project was probably the final straw - sewed the seeds for a dodgy back too. My hips are still lovely but my failing teeth are my current health obsession. Could be worse.

    I consider teeth to be the same quandary as retirement money; how much/many do you need to keep in light of eventual dying etc?

  • Teeth, urgh. I genuinely can easily pass for being 15 years younger than I really am, except when I smile the fucking teeth give it away. They're dying to fall out, and have turned an irreparable shade of yellow due to loss of enamel.

    My knees are fine though, I avoided sport and manual labour. Years of drinking and smoking however have led to a near-terminal case of periodontal disease.

    The chap in the busking tape stories I told you about would put that at quite a low figure, considering his nickname locally is 'Seth Onetooth'.>

    If there was just one piece of advice I could go back in time and give myself, it'd be to look after my teeth better. They're all still there, just, but like you I've got the dreaded periodontal curse and spend a fortune with dentists.

    More of a cursed one to be fair, but I'm good at (or it's maybe early Altheimers) forgetting all the really bad stuff from the past. More pressing is that I can no longer safely eat peanuts and crisps

    I lost three teeth and two fillings just looking at that photo.

    I planned ahead. All false now. That's why going to football saved me a few grand on future dentistry bills. Had a particularly nasty extraction just outside Stamford Bridge. :)

    Had a couple of those on the rugby pitch, the only pity being there was no precautionary liquid anesthetic involved...

    I take it the rugby wasn't Sunday League. Otherwise you would've been well oiled BEFORE the match.

    I like the look of those new screw-in teeth, flipping expensive though. I'm the victim of 60's/70's dodgy dentists that were paid extra to do fillings - I know quite a few contemporaries that were caught and had perfectly good teeth filled just so the dentist could earn an extra tenner. And now all those fillings are falling to bits.

  • @JohnnyGoodyear, great collab with @marcel. Great lyrics and a very distinctive voice, as always. The instrumental, mix etc. are also well done. Congrats!

    Thank you. But, dammit Jim, it's November already!

  • @MonzoPro I'm sure I've started saying this every month, but your stuff really is getting more accessible :) There's a groove, rhythmic elements, structure, all that stuff. Give it another couple of years and it will all be delicate melodies and whimsical lyrics about pretty maidens and the comforts of home on a winter's night.

    Of course there's all the background cacophony going on, but it's texture and interest rather than being the sole focal point. I really think there is some productive ground with a blend of the weird and the orthodox, and you are slowly heading that way, maybe despite yourself :)

  • November is posted, I suggest that @trackedout and @RickH repost their songs there.

    Thanks Richard - I'm mellowing in my old age! This months should be more tuneful still, as I'm focusing on using gadget for my next one - if I can get it done before we move house.
