No.

I might be in. I started a track and got the vocals, piano, bass, and drum programming in with a plan that I was going to layer a lot of guitars, and then I went and cut my index finger pretty badly last night. I may rearrange or try to find a way around it.

if you can tell me what it is you want I might be able to help track some guitar tonight

thinking about doing something for this because I'm a glockenspiel fanatic, but I haven't even started yet.

Oh, wow, thanks for the offer! I think I'm going to do some open tuning stuff to make it work. Thank you anyway!

Let’s call that one a draw

So, House Arrest ... I thought I'd turn the phrase inside out and imagine that it was actually the house being arrested for crimes against its occupants. So I've written about the dark side of renting, unscrupulous landlords, and the economic inequalities that meant that money gets taken from one person and given to another because the other person had more money to begin with.

And musically I'm copying the wonderful Dead Kennedys track 'Nazi Punks' which seems particularly topical right now.

Brown Word is in, taking a break while I learn my Nur Ein fate with something fun and loud. Glockenspiel solo, apropos of nothing.

I haven't actually submitted my file, but I've now made enough progress to state with confidence that I'll be in. It's just a question of how much time I'll get to clean up the performances and mix now.

In and submitted. Due to the aforementioned cut I had to simplify the guitar stuff I wanted to do, but at least I got to use some fuzz pedal.

In after a few weeks off with something under 2 minutes long

I'm in. I'm not sure how good this one is, but it was fun to make.

Duncan is in. Not really a glockenspiel solo, maybe a tacky pinch of glock though.

Just submitted mine.

Night Sky is in. No one listens to one of our songs for the glockenspiel solo, so we skipped the optional challenge this week.

I'm in with my first entry recorded from my modest cabin in the north woods. car full of gear set up in the kitchen, ha!!

I don't know what it all means but it came out that way, so yah. but I apologize in advance for the "current events" retrospective. I just let whatever comes out out, good therapy.

peace.

Critical Rave Theory is stuck at home with an entry this week. Enjoy!

Yaks are in. We gave the optional challenge the bird this week.
