I just ripped it from youtube as an mp3...I didn't think it was worth converting it to a higher quality format.

It seemed nice and yucky to me. I am an old punk at heart 

ahhh I get it....for some reason I thought you had an e-kit or something and had recorded yourself playing along....

[Ramshackles]

I shouldn't have listened to it before tea...
I instantly thought of a ridiculous song about food.
Now I can't think of anything else more reasonable....

[Skub]

Ok,I'm finished. 

[PaulAds]

As in...finished a song already? No way, Davy...that’d be amazing!

[pompeyjazz]

What have you been messing around at ?

[Skub]

Yeah,I had some time today with no one around.

Don't worry,it's sh1t anyway! 

[redrhodie]

Ok,I'm finished. 

Haha. That reminds me of the contest from Seinfeld. You're Kramer.

[Bill Saunders]

I thought I was going to knock this off quickly, but Paul's guidance on the structure of the original Clash song has thrown me. I mean what song is ever structured:

Verse 1
Verse 2
Verse 3
Chorus
Chorus

Oh, and an intro, twiddly bit and a breakdown thrown in somewhere

!!!

I'll get there but it's gonna take longer than I thought!

[adamfarr]

(Bill, don’t tell anyone but I may stick chorus 1 in the verse 3 slot and see whether anyone notices )

[Skub]

Closing date for entries is end of April,folks.

I have it on good authority. 

[PaulAds]

So I reckon we’re just about good to go...if everyone is ok with these details...

The SWF Drum Challenge May 2018

Write a new song using the original drum track from the clash’s “complete control”

https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ah2h_joGZ8_NqCWNc9l6T6To5Z48

All entries to be posted in the “finished songs” section of the forum and marked “drum challenge” with all entries to be posted during the last week of May and the closing date to be midnight on Thursday May 31st

In true punk fashion, the drum challenge is open to any forum member.

After a week of deliberations...we’ll all vote on our favourite song and the winner will receive a bag of glue or something 

If there are no objections, I’ll open a new thread where we can also discuss things as we go.

Any questions before we get (po)going?

Hosted by @PaulAds with John @pompeyjazz riding shotgun.

[Viscount Cramer & His Orchestra]

Sounds great!

I'll have to pull all the stops out for this one. That glue sealed it for me.

[Darren1664]

I'll have to pull all the stops out for this one. That glue sealed it for me.

Haha I see what you did there

[pompeyjazz]

For those of you that are familiar with the original track, it's incredibly difficult to NOT play along with the original 

[PaulAds]

 Yeah...if you’re not familiar with the original...don’t listen to it before you’ve written your entry
