Cheers. Yeah. I sometimes just sit and make stuff up when I'm bored, but don't really do too much with it other than occasional open mic nights...and one time when I was drunk and borrowed a busker's guitar.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran discuss a horrific month of December and a depressing FOUR defeats in a row - the latest coming against Wolves and Newcastle.
They discuss how much blame is on Ruben Amorim and rank our squad against other Premier League teams.
Do we have any chance of avoiding defeat at Anfield?

Wouldn't mind negative feedback either on this. I thought this thread would be more active than this.
Listened to half of it. Quite good really. I actually just started using Garageband, so this is inspiring. Cheers.
I don't think the snare beat towards the end fits whatsoever, but the rest is really nice!
Something I've quickly thrown together for anyone who's a fan of The Wire and/or hip-hop, feel free to d/l in the YT description:
I really enjoyed that. Your singing is very good. I think the snares fit well. Never change what feels right to you.

Cheers guys. Really appreciate the feedback.
Re: the snare, I feel it fits. But I might just change it depending on where I want the vocals to go. Thats the hardest part given I always prefer something less linear.

The beat's fine but it just suddenly makes the sound a bit hectic for me after sounding so nice and relaxing..
Making some faces practicing some new old busking tunes with a looper amp. Probably should record on a higher quality video setting next time.
Point noted. I have loads to do with this song. Many shapes it can take.
More guitar looping tomfoolery.
That's great. How I'd love to be able to play the guitar like that. Heck, I'll settle for just being able to play
started putting my stuff on soundcloud. well, one anyway.
...and this is the stuff you're making out of boredom ? Stay bored, seriously.
That was feckin good, man.
Some voice on him.
Here's my stuff, band are Manc and London based, there's loads of us - both things are a shame cos we only get to stuff very intermittently. I play the guitars that are squiffy. https://soundcloud.com/seasblack
Getting a little bit of Nick Cave's atmosphere here which is a trip and your stuff sounds more heavy so it's an instant like. That specific sound of guitar pretty much defines the name of the band to me but it may of course mean something completely different.
Exactly the type of music I would listen to chill or drink myself away. Both songs catchy as feck. That guy's vocals seem to just fit exactly into this underwater psychedelia. Everything is sailing, shame you didn't hit me with this on a start of the weekend. Would definitely mix it with some rum and blaze of smoke but what goes around, comes around.
Hah, excellent, thanks man.
Something I made up quickly as a sort of birthday present for someone.
Something Else - all instruments and vocals by me
Recorded live in my bedroom with my old band years ago, before we had a drummer..
Take about 45 seconds to get going.

Me and my best mate.. (he's singing, I'm playing)
Nearly 20 years ago on a knackered 4-track. (You can hear the tape slipping)
I know this is for original music only but we were always proud of this.
Mate singing, me playing everything.

Usually a metal/hard rock guitar player but thought I'd mess around doing a short 'pop' progression demo...not at all polished or finished etc but:
I like to think of this one as an Ibiza club-night out but in say Carthage or Rome, or some such idiotic shit. I apologise in advance:
Well interesting track.
Appreciate it, amazing what a few beers can convince you to upload!
Fabulous original talent here in the Caf. I'll contribute one of these days.
Thank you mate. I keep meaning to go back and improve that song.
Not exactly an 'original songwriters' work, so apologies, but it is none-the-less an original remix if anyone likes that sort of thing. It gets a bit trippy though I guess.
I'm stuck in a rut and it's annoying me because I won't have free time like this to make stuff.
Basically, I feel a lack of satisfaction with most things I create. I've got tunes and tunes that have stacked up over years but find some way to dislike them. Most probably aren't great anyway, but like with the music I listen to, I
have very specific choices and it makes it very hard to "pass" something. As this is something I do out of it being something I love doing, it becoming a pain is not ideal.
Anyone ideas/opinions would be helpful.

Sorry to have missed this for so long, I feel exactly like you do at times, we're all human and it's very easy to second guess yourself and feel low in confidence about your creations. Sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet and release the material in whichever way you want and get it off your chest. Or, PM it to someone, I'm always open to music and will give you a second opinion.
