How genius / stupid is it to challenge Dissers to write and upload a Christmas song they're written and recorded at home?

We've got enough time to do it. You know, if you want to do it.

i'll compile the best, put them as a PWYW download on bandcamp, and donate any money that comes in to Sean to fix the site

- Now that IS genius
  
  Ok, roll-call. Who's up for it?
  
  Rules:
  
  1) You have to write it
  2) You have to record it
  3) Solo effort

This is going to be fun

with my grade 3 piano I'm going to write a song!
How hard can it be? A few chords.
What's the deadline because I might be some time!
Is there a prize for the worst one?:P

Lililololaure | 12 Nov '12, 16:08 | X | ^ This | Reply
Did one a coupla years back

Hard not to engage the cheese factor, though the rough nature of the recording may help to offset it a little, I dunno...

does it HAVE to be recorded at home?

cocodaLOL | 12 Nov '12, 16:15 | X | ^ This | Reply
- ^Good point.
  
  I intend to cheat slightly. Is it okay if I have a couple of other people singing on it and someone else mixing it?

  - Meh, I dunno
    
    I was hoping everyone would do a new song you see. But if more people will take part, then the better I suppose. But too over produced is unfair on others.
    
    I dunno, let the hive brain decide.

    this'd this
    - i mean it IS a new song.
      
      because it was written for an album that's under production as we speak. so it totally counts

      - Mine too.
        
        It's something I was going to do with my new band this week for Christmas anyway - I just hadn't decided how to put it out...

When is deadline?

- Erm, dunno. Late December
  
  let me work it all out, take a proper roll call in a new thread in a day or so and we'll go from there.
  
  But if you're interested, say so here, as it's a good indicator of whether it's worth the ball ache.

    I intend to use this as the soundtrack to my parents Christmas Lunch.

Sigh

Our download of "A Squirrel and a Stork Chewing on Your Pork (It's Like Christmas)" seems to have been taken down. Thank God. However I've been tormented by my bandmate about a track on the new record that has (he says) a certain ring of Macca's "Wonderful Christmas Time" that may be appropriated for this purpose, I added sleigh bells just to annoy him and can work up a disgusting squelchy 70's synth and a saccharine festive vocal, would that be ok?

amyblue | 12 Nov '12, 17:30 | X | ^ This | Reply
Yeah!!

Going to get some sleigh bell samples at the ready.

Does it count if the song doesn't explicitly mention Christmas?

I've got three Christmas songs on the go already

One of them is based on a thread on here from a couple of months ago.

How very prescient of me.
