Probably a bit late now but try Ardour, I use it and for free it's not a bad DAW. Although I don't know how difficult it is to use on MacOS.

Hopefully I'm just having a bad night, but I have a sneaky suspicion that two years of raising kids (and a bit longer than that playing cheesy uke/piano songs) has killed my ability to write a pop song. That, or I'm just getting old. Damn kids. One more try tomorrow, and if it doesn't gel, I'll pull the plug and leave it to the young'ns.

Oh, no! I was really looking forward to some uke-hop. Pitch that thing down and record a bass line with it....Alright! C'mon! don't let the sun sink on Funkville!

Genre's what?
Oh, I get it. But you spelled songs wrong. It's "song's".
Sorry. Sometime's I have problem's with folk's learning this difficult language. Keep trying!

See, this is what happens: after completely failing to make my pop song gel, in five minutes I accidentally wrote the slowest, gentlest acoustic song I've ever written...but for this title.

sonofabitch!

Edit: JB, listening to that Podcast now; very interesting. I grew up in Chicago and I've known house music for as long as I can remember -- I had no idea it actually started there.

Are these the guidelines JB? Is this what we should be striving for in our entries?

The period should be on the inside of the quotation marks.

Only in America.

Also, how did you guys miss this one?

Two! Two! Two burns in one!
I love it when you show up to make fun of people, Spud.
It reinforces the fact that arguing on the internet really is like running in the special olympics.

Polka's Rule No. 1:
Play a polka anywhere near Caravan Ray and you risk having a piano accordian jammed up your arse.

Note: Big Dumb Jerks will not be submitting techno, either.

Posted: **Fri Jun 01, 2007 9:23 am**

King Arthur actually tried to take the challenge seriously and do a dance number. Please be gentle, those of you who actually understand the genre

FMs, I'm guessing that "bandname_tss.mp3" is the correct submittal name this time, rather than "bandname_ss.mp3". If the truth is otherwise, let us know, we aim to please

Asshammer! (the one-off WreckdoM cover band) has to figure in that rule somewhere. Which also ties in nicely with Caravan Ray's comment above, heh.

It's "Murphys Law".

Also to the above: The period is only within the quotation marks if you are finishing a sentence within the quotation marks. As in, "Joe went to the store."

At least, I'm pretty sure of that. I might be wrong.

Mis-reading some sacred text as "Polka's rule!!!" while you are on camera, bound and on your knees, and surrounded by pissed-off religous fanatics with AK-47s, and then saying with disgust, "Oh, Jesus... why the fuck is there an apostrophe in 'Polkas?'" That's Murphy's Law.
