Ha, thank you sir. I wasn’t sure about that rap thing when I did it a couple months ago, but you’re encouragement is all I need to bring back the bravado! Don’t look for it next month though. The thing I’m working on for February is looking like it’ll be a synthy pop tune about a girl with ripped stockings...who knows, maybe it’ll take a new direction now..,cheers!
Wow Johnny, what a beautiful piece, I wish I had your way with words. They’re amazing, and the music behind them is done really well here too. Mix and clarity is top notch. Great use of panning, and I like the simple percussion/kick drum combination. A lot of little interesting things going on here, and they all support he song perfectly. Superb job on this one!
hey Rick, you certainly are a man of many talents! I can totally relate to the ”the creative things I’ve done all my life while working at jobs that didn’t particularly interest me” thing. That’s been the story of my life, and I’ve never been able to decide for myself if it’s better to have to do those things I’m passionate about to pay the bills, or if leaving them as recreational pursuits leads to a happier existence.
I like your drawings and the song. The music fits the video/drawings nicely. The music is very well produced and I particularly like what’s going on in the breakdown part about 3/4 of the way in. The only thing I’m not sure about is the plucky synth thing in the left side. I kept expecting it to give me a melody I could wrap my brain around and form a groove with, but it seemed to keep meandering instead. But maybe that is the vibe you’re after, after all, it’s not a pop song. So, if you want people to continue to hum this after hearing it, as hey walk down the aisles in the grocery store, that might need to be changed, but if it’s purely to support he images, and not detract from them, it’s perfect as is. Nice work on this all around!
Ah, it's not a uke, it's a tenor guitar. Steel strings. Made by my friend Kerry Werry. Tuned like a mandolin, GDAE.
Thanks, @DefRobot.
Thanks kindly. I'm not sure I'll ever be the type of writer that creates those kinds of melodies. But I do want it to be both standalone, and something that goes with the music.
@Shaken&;Stirred, that’s always been my struggle as well - to stay in the jobs, or leave. I stayed. Now I’m retired early, (60), with a good pension and money in the bank. My creative friends sadly didn’t prosper as well, and the ones I know best are probably going to be working until they are done. But, they had those 40 years I spent, being creative.
At the same time, would I have loved it as much? All the pressures to make money at something you love to do can take something fabulous, and turn it to crap fast. I dunno, there’s no good answer. I can’t have regrets, I am where I am, and right now that’s pretty good. I can do this stuff all day if I want to.
@DefRobot, love the sentiment. I keep having those arguments with folks about whether it was fabulous, or just different. My one nit would be I’d like a bit more if a bite on the guitar, it’s just a bit too fat, and takes a up a bit to much space in the mix. Great tune, good hook. Your vocal sound is very different; you’ve one of those voices that if it was on the radio, people would know exactly who it was the second the first word came.
Yup, it seems you’re a good place, and agree, having regrets makes no sense. I’m 10 years behind you, and if I have the freedom to do this stuff all day long at 60, I’ll be happy!
@studs1966, excellent mix and tune as usual. Man, when that bass cuts in, the whole track just jumps. Congrats on the signing. How much of this is live playing, how much midi?
Thanks mate. About 60 a 40(40%with samples). Actually, I try to copy playing the samples mostly. So the Wav file is midi instead. Everything I do is looped, & not play live through the whole track(like virtually most EDM music) Not unless there is a solo to do, then once I've done that, I chop it up & place it accordingly.
@DefRobot I enjoyed your song very much, very good production. Mixing is very good. You're right about the mixing in my performance. Thanks a lot for the feedback.
@rickwaugh
An autobiography of sorts or a small map for a psychiatrist to ponder/interpret, although you're doing a fair bit of his work for him by titling it 'Compulsions'. An interesting project, mixing your media, and I always look forward to seeing what you've been up to as our faithful Notion exponent. I wonder what the kids of your children's children will make of it all? Would that we could hang about to find out
Very smoky start there with some menace which soon becomes validated. The guitar is such a weapon, especially to those of us who can't play it
Must say it has been a very long time since I drank a Snakebite, but there was a year or two it was the Friday night drink of choice when getting ready for other ridiculousness. Would drop a shot glass of Drambuie sometimes into an oversized pint glass with the Special Brew and Scrumpy to make it work faster... you certainly catch some of the fear and loathing here 
Lol. Every family has to have at least one nutbar in the past. That can be me.
@studs1966 Straight off the bat, that is a great bass sound. What was used for that?
Also, I really like the whakka guitar, very Chic like. I thought the first vocal came in too loud at the start, but the main vocals were fine. Bells were nice. Still (almost) the festive season.
I like everything about this from the very start. Whole video production units with stylists and directors and DPs kill themselves for days and many dollars to get this 'man in the kitchen with the family just playing' feel, but they can't because they're trying to buy authentic, can't be done, whereas this just is. I could write a PhD thesis on the first thirty seconds here and if Apple don't pay you to make something (of your choosing) for them then Teenage Engineering certainly should. The yellow tracksuit top. Genius. The wallpaper. The champagne. Many are called but few are chosen. Indeed.
@JohnnyGoodyear thank you for your kind words. It was pretty much improvised, I just asked my daughter to film however she wanted to. The champagne I just got for my birthday and wife and son are used to see me singing, playing and clowning around in the kitchen so they didn’t pay too much attention.
Good start here. Learned a lot from it. I'm not going to bite on the 'good old days or otherwise' thought, although Lord knows we've all muttered about it, all I can think is that maybe simpler might be more true than innocent...although I'm not even sure about that
The song certainly harks back to a sound that reminds me of a band playing in a bar or a small club. I think the vocal effect might have caused that as much as the structure/guitars etc. I'm not wholly convinced about the 'all in my mind' repetition with the verse, seems a bit too much (to me), but that might just be a matter of bringing down the level a hair. In a perfect bookend to the start a very nice clean ending, something some of us (self) often struggle with.
Thanks @DefRobot. Used SampleTank.
@trackedout, that’s a wonderful mess, in a great way. I love the jumbled feeling for the main part of the song; it still holds it together while sounding like it’s all over the place. Makes me think of some of the best of the real nasty punk, like the Sex Pistols. Great mix, everything sat very nicely for me, except the vocals could have been a tad higher in the heavy section.
@JohnnyGoodyear I've been negligent in letting so much time lapse before reviewing your entry. Sorry, we'll leave my excuses to one side for now.
The intro is a beating heart - if that was not deliberate then it was certainly one of Eno's hidden intents, brilliant bit of sonic metaphor. I love the feel of the song, it's a mixture of hope and sadness, honey and warm milk.
It's also a glimpse into your past, it sounds like you lived your excesses well into your forties, and that you pushed them to extremes - there's got to be a wealth a material for you to pick through there in your history, just trying to figure out what drove you to the limit and beyond. If human fallibility is a theme to fascinate endlessly, it helps to have plenty of one's own foibles for inspiration. We should spend an evening or two in an English pub discussing this over several beers, if your doctor will allow it.
I think for some reason the New Year has put mortality at the front of your thoughts, or maybe this is something that happens to you every new year, but anyway, definitely don't go away because I think you've still got much to say, and we need to hear it.
It is a lovely track, brought a tear to my eye just now - Mrs Monzo's mum passed away yesterday. Don't go away indeed.
Let me know what pub you're going to, and I'll get the first round in.
Nice one @trackedout. You know your voice on that track, or what I mean to say, is that your voice would of made a great reindition of War - " Low Rider" song.
We should actually do this. One day we will.
Who amongst the SOTMC lives in England? Would be cool to have a beer sometime!
I reside in Kendal.
Broadstairs, Kent. Closer to Belgium than Kendal unfortunately
gotta love those "fabulous filters"! Nice catchy track here - the vocals in the verse give it kind of a 60's vibe, and then the thick, solid chorus hook brings it back to the alt-rock camp. Lots of layered guitars here, which I'm a big fan of, and they work well together. I probably would have been a little more aggressive to edit it down to closer to 4 minutes, but for some reason I've gotten hypersensitive about track length with my stuff, and then I push it on others. That's just me so take it with a grain of salt.. I've listened to "Innocent Times" a couple times now, and I dig it. cheers!

Brilliant. Please go directly and gift this to your Chamber of Commerce etc.
