Hoops, it is said that those gifted musically are also typically good at math!
You my friend are the "proof in the pudding" to what has been said, you & @wille that is!
Just so you know they must have used chocolate or banana pudding and NOT tapioca
when that quote was first mentioned!

Thanks for the comment Hoops!

Hi there, thanks for your very kind words about my skirmish track "Falling", glad you liked it. Congrats on being a FAWM 2012 winner, and thanks for the Explore-The-Core challenge - that was fun!

I don't like to hear you're not well I want to hear that you feel great and healthy. Because you deserve it. *hug*

Thanks for the lovely comment, Hoops. Made me a little nostalgic for the days when FAWM was like a small town and I could keep up with what people were doing during Feb. These days it feels like I have to catch a bus a few suburbs over just to see what you're up to. But I've bought a weekly ticket and will be back soon to bask in your music. Take care and get well soon, mate.

Hi, hoops.

Just to let you know I've upped a new demo for *30002 (Pleasure and Danger) - sorry to hear you're feeling lousy. Hope it's better soon.

Any comparison to Mr. Bungle makes me weep with joy for days. Thank you, kind sir.

I will try, I've been back at uni and lacking inspiration really! That will be my last song if I do get it done, but I did have a look at the chords earlier in the month, so I will give it another shot! I'm surprised you're keen to hear my take on it!

Elephants visiting a porcelain store is based on bulls in the china shop :'D But yes, I hope it's also fine as a merely nonsensical thing.

Thanks, Hoop -- yes, I was the harmonica player in the bathroom. I don't know why they always put me there........:)

You have a potentially quite rude email...

Hello, my luv, it's a bit artw*nk, but if you had a moment to do this: http://fawm.org/forums/thread/3250/ then I would love you even more! x
robs 3 months ago

Thank you for the chords you used in 'The Florist's Waltz', it was very educational!
debs 3 months ago

No, Hoops! I'm glad you didn't - my head would have completely exploded! I kept it in 3/4 for the longest time, but it wasn't suiting my voice as well as it did yours.
debs 3 months ago

@helenseviltwin I haz your guitarz!
helenseviltwin 3 months ago

re: guitar tuning - unfortunately, my SG's neck seems to be coming off, and my other guitars are at Deb's, so tuning is dodgy and will remain so for a little while. Sorry

Hoops i am only just now hearing your Fawmer Foibles song for the first time! What a cracker! My hat's off to you.

Your turn in the Auntie Sin chain, Hoops! I'm in the terrible position of being between you and @wille so don't expect too much of it:

Have a good FAWM Paul!

Ha! I was apprehensive of playing a kazoo solo but I felt it worked in the song. Thanks for the feedback and I look forward to hearing some hoops! Will it involve loops?

Saw your "Captain Beefheart" contribution on the Band Names thread and had to drop by to say hello. Anyone who listens to Beefheart is an automatic friend of mine!

Re:"Cheese Grater Society" - Pretty sure I didn't get around to this one during 5090 (oddly, I seem to always my favs of the year during 5090, not fawm..weird) - Anyway..what time signature was that?
benjaminnolan 4 months ago

Your challenge this year is to come up with a definition for the word "spangleflumps" and then somehow work it into a song in such a way that it doesn't sound out of place.

Simples, non?
