My least successful demo was one I did in a mates studio, he said I can anything and play anything I wanted, so I was like a kid in a sweetshop.

I recorded Larry Carlton's It was only yesterday, made a good fist of the guitar and ePiano parts, put some light drums on.

I played it to my Mum, this is what she said.

"Who is that knocking the drum kit over in the background?"

Definitely this. But, oddly, somehow... it works.

Hi everyone!
I've just had an idea!
We have a song of the month competition for the best song so how about a contest for the worst song of the month?
Then once the winner is announced we can then all explain why we voted it the worst song this month and give reasons why etc..
I think it would be a lot of fun!

Yes of course it would be very encouraging for somebody who has just started songwriting to submit a song and then be subjected to the humiliation of worst song of the month only for some songwriting / producer genius to ride out of the sunset throwing songwriting tips on the floor for the sad uneducated souls who should know about lot better.  No smileys or lols on this post

This is what I should have posted...

So what you are saying is that you would rather continue with the back patting clique praising farce of a song of the month contest that we have right now where a random individual (one of your mates) decides which songs are to be selected and after a mere 9 votes the winner is announced? That contest is a place where we actually learn nothing at all other than who's best mates with who in here. imo.

That’s a pretty awful thing to say, Johnny.

Johnny, a worst song of the month competition is a silly idea in my opinion. Despite your 'kids' example I don't think that it would really benefit anyone to have their song 'honoured' in this way.

The SOTM is not cliquey. The 'random individual' who hosts the competition volunteers to do so. Volunteers are thin on the ground so it usually falls to the same bunch of members. Anybody can volunteer to host the SOTM and anybody can vote.
