Re: BAND NAME (12 replies, posted in My local band and me)
We thought of the name Mothers of Convention but that sounds too much like a Zappa tribute act other names Like sawdust on the floor perhaps sounds like a howling wolf tribute or a more traditional blues act .
Others such as usual suspects , killing floor demolition crew have all been used or are in use .
I do like Dougs suggestion Unsuitable .

We are having a terrible time finding a name for the band everything we've come up with so far is either unsuitable or already in use .I've tried one of these name generator things and the crap that's thrown up is laughable .

Re: Their past will be dust (6 replies, posted in Poems)
I wrote this song after the executions by IS earlier this year I dont think I posted it .
Dark is the weather
Grey is the sky
sad are the people preparing to die
who knows why they suffer the people relate
all now must perish for that is their fate
oh why do they have
to make there wars
what makes it right to follow a cause
do you think that your god tells you the truth
do you really think he's speaking to you
Forgotten faces on a big screen
cant understand the horror they've seen
what is the reason no one can say
as the blade strikes you all look away

Re: Dear Friend of Mine (21 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hi Mazzy to repeat what Pete has said nice lyrics .I liked the song but I found the echo a bit strong ,I think it detracts from your natural singing voice ,I get the impression that you recorded in a room with a natural reverb, maybe its a conservatory with a lot of glass I dont know but that combined with the uke seems to create a problem ,Perhaps a change of room where you record will provide a more mellow sound .I look forward to hearing your next song well done Mazzy
