  You keep asking for more stuff like Base, so here's the track I started writing on the ferry and am working on right now so far.

  There's a vocal line I haven't recorded yet, hence why the verses seem a bit bland at the moment. I also need to vary the drums a bit more, but you get the idea.

•  gordon 1 month ago

  Thanks so much for busting my last zong! It was good to see everyone at the weekend, just a shame it was such a flying visit. There's always next time...
  CheersG

• roydesmet 1 month ago

  A new recording of Strange Sense I'm Dying will indeed be put online coming Friday!

•  djsmit 1 month ago

  Hey Johnny. Thanks for your comment. That was indeed the right song. I changed the tuning of the song after I recorded. you've heard the result last Saturday . Glad you liked it! I sure liked the evening

•  mattblick 1 month ago

  Right back at ya Johnny - maybe next year...

• ladyvinyl 2 months ago

  Hi, thanks for your ideas for Master Commander! I really appreciated the feedback and I'll take that into account when I rework it.

•  kenficara 2 months ago

  hey, thanks for playing one of my songs.

• acciohaaley 2 months ago

  Thanks for letting me know! I have no idea why the link's not working. I got it the same way I did with all of the other songs, so I just put it on soundcloud. There's a link in the liner notes. (:

•  headfirstonly 2 months ago

  Ta for the comment on my latest, and you are utterly and completely correct: I am now unable to think of it as anything other than a 1980s science fiction TV show theme, and have amended its genre description accordingly!

• johnrickenbach 2 months ago

  Thanks JCP for the comment on my song...I had to look up what a "pastiche" was...thought it was some sort of French candy...now I realize it's just a pale imitation of one...
  
  your songs are funny as advertised...I especially enjoy Celebrities are People too (even if they're not)

• din 2 months ago

  You said all the right things to make us happy, especially "Prince having a spasm in a blender"!! Thank you!!!

•  airbagtester 2 months ago

  LOL I recently attended a 70's disco themed birthday party and I remember thinking to myself how glad I was to not have had to experience that decade That time period is creepy for sure. Kind of like a sleazy used car salesman.

•  heuristicsinc 2 months ago

  Link fixed. SF wants a + in the filename but FAWM doesn't.

• kandersonmusic 3 months ago

  You're just showing off now.

• roberta 3 months ago

  Hey - I can record some music school noise for you

•  mattblick 3 months ago

  Not sure about FOP - I'd like to but there's an obstacle at the mo...

• kandersonmusic 3 months ago

  your wish is my command

•  dustymason 3 months ago

  Thanks so much for the comment on Don't Forget The Onions. Btw, a very good friend back home in SE Pennsylvania is former Buzzcocks' bassist Steve Garvey (he married a Yank twenty some-odd years ago and is damn near one himself by now). I'm going to post a link to your material on his FB. He'll get a kick out of this.

• thedustcollector 3 months ago

  Thank you! Spot any similarities?

• bong 3 months ago

  Sending you a link to Greenland (bong mix).

•  heuristicsinc 3 months ago

  Huh, my Swedish friend also recommended Haack to me, years ago. I forgot about that!

• bong 3 months ago

  I am looking at banjo now. You don't need it, but I feel it would add that extra something.

• candle 3 months ago

  Thanks for your comment on Emergence. I'm glad I could help the hang-over
  
  See You In The Shadows…

• bong 3 months ago

  Greenland, snow, icebergs, quiet, nature, cold. A man alone in a kayak with his gun.

• bong 3 months ago

  We need to exchange soundfiles, for instance using dropbox, mail or google documents. I am working on something very organic to send to you during the weekend. Tempo?

•  heuristicsinc 3 months ago

  Okay, since you gave me *two* challenges: a song that offers an alternate explanation for the extinction of the dinosaurs... and use palindromes, musically and/or lyrically.

•  heuristicsinc 3 months ago

  Hmm, never heard of it... doing a little reading now. I'll give you yours soon. Does it have to relate to your theme?

•  heuristicsinc 3 months ago

  I did, that is rockin'!

• musuko 3 months ago

  Slick....I want a VL1.... But just for the calculator.

•  debrandio 3 months ago

  that was a nice trip down johnny $point lane, we'll be back in a few.

• bong 3 months ago

  I am collabbing right now, and I have learned that I need to finish a collab before the next. As soon as I am done, I'll let you know.

• bong 3 months ago

  GWAG call. I do know how to record to a click track with GarageBand. @wille is just being silly, he knows I am @bong, not @bungy. I have
  * acoustic Spanish guitars (one reversely stringed)
  * a banjo
  * voice
  * hand clap, tongue clicking and other common humanly produced sounds
  * household utensils
  * a quiet (dull) neighboorhood (some children, occasionally a stray cat)
  * AKAI MPK mini, but zero skills
  That's about it.

•  wille 3 months ago

  You have been paired with @bongin the FOLKTRONICA album project. Whatever language Garageband speaks, if you can speak it too and start him off with something loopy for him to GWAG his head off over, that would be a useful start

• stephenwordsmith 3 months ago

  Hi j$
  
  Conventionally, I send the completed lyric to the collaborator and they weave a tune around it, but I experimented last 50/90 with writing lyrics to an existing piece of music, and I found both the process and result greatly rewarding.
  
  So, if you could send a piece of music my way, I'll see what I can do with it. It may take me a little longer, but challenging oneself is part of the fun, n'est-ce pas?

• ojnrox 3 months ago

  Can u give me the lyrics for your morph song john?my email is noseinabook987@hotmail.co.uk ,thank you

•  debs 3 months ago

  Hey you!
  This is your "please post your morph song asap so the rest of the chain has enough time to complete it" poke. For a chain of 7, each person have 4 days, and Feb 4th us upon us

•  debs 3 months ago

  Okay - we've got someone who wants to follow so I'll put you up to start morph 4 Hopefully it fills up after that!

•  debs 3 months ago

  I'm not sure if we'll manage another morph, but if we don't, avoid listening to them for a few days and I'll tack you onto the end of whichever morph is moving the fastest. Cool?

•  helenseviltwin 3 months ago

  I finally stopped to look at the board outside the Crown and Anchor by Elephant & Castle and their open mic is on Sundays from 7. Shall we attend some time?

•  debs 3 months ago

  Hey you I'm sure we could get another morph going - would you want to start?

•  girlsinuniform 3 months ago

  Uh-oh! It's Jaydollah! Best of luck this time round, dude.

•  balancelost 3 months ago

  S'up dude, looking forward to your pop nuggetry.

•  max 4 months ago

  Here's hoping you'll have a fantastic, productiveTwentyTwelve FAWM.
