Can we sticky this?

I reckon we can rival Sufjan's new boxset if we all pull together in the spirit of DiSmas.

got an idea for it that I may or may not be capable of doing.

Prepare you ears for mediocrity.

Can;t decide if I should do a low-fi "guy and a guitar" effort or something more ambitious. Guess it depends how much time I have.

21st is last day of work, no way i'll get anything done for then

Sorry dude, I didn't see it. Surely both can run concurrently - Like X Factor and Pop Idol. That worked.

but you do have 6 weeks.

Just tweeted about it too https://twitter.com/SoundCloud

i'll leave it til after xmas, i guess.

I'll contribute to both, but a Christmas album of Dismas songs would be good.

but i'll write and record my own one soon!

however - I need to get a decent microphone as the only one I have access to is embedded in my laptop, might end up being a lofi solo acoustic guitar thing (hmm)

also I've never written an actual song ever so it's guaranteed to be absolutely terrible (hmm)

write an original or cover an existing one? or does it not matter?

no expense spared!

pumped

Don't worry, the scrappier the better for everyone. Slick production and a perfect song will make me feel less talented than Robbie Willaims. Whatever you can do. Mine will be all shades of arse.

If you put a song in there, can you identify who you are in this thread. How else can we all insult / praise you otherwise?

i'm so fookin creative darling!

a lurker?

I would like a 'whitch house' kind of Christmas.
Come on Cem!

Remember the Keep Calm And Carry On thread?

http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/social/4417398

I turned it into a Christmas song. All I had to do was make it rhyme, piece of piss.

Anyway, here it is

http://soundcloud.com/thefrozenembryos/keep-calm-and-christmas-on-the

so that when it all gets compiled and stuff it's actually, y'know, a surprise and that

I might be able to do a couple or is it one entry only?

This is ace. But PLEASE state on here when you put your track up. Otherwise we not gonna know who to credit (and abuse).

Rumbled...scarletclub is me!

mine's instrumental, for now at least.

Whatever your creative brain wants.

due the troll and spam, so if anyone enters and they can't sign-up, please drop me a tweet @drownedinsound

"Party Susan" is my favourite so far.

Aciduke Volkerazzi Ichs?

They've added two songs. TWO. That's not the rules.

I don't even think they're a Disser.

What do we do?

and messaged him.

FUN IS ONLY FUN WHEN YOU STICK TO THE RULES

I did ask about muliple songs and you said 'Do it x3' but I will not upload more..

...is now on the SC page

She didn't say it was horrendous. So that's something.

I really want to hear a Cementimental xmas song

:)

Like Marverick in Top Gun

Hi there. My song is on the sc group page (http://soundcloud.com/groups/decembers-dis-soundcloud-challenge-then). It's called "C'est Noël (It's Christmas)" (http://soundcloud.com/guillaume-13/cest-noe-l-its-christmas). The lyrics (in french, sorry :() are about catching a fairy around a christmas tree and caroling... well that's what's written because the words can sound like something totally different (if you have a perverted mind...). Hope you'll like it! G

thanks:D

Thanks for contributing - It's great. They're all great so far!

Here it is in the group: http://soundcloud.com/neonhighwirewip/fantasyland-christmas-in-the.

It is very Christmassy and is definitely a Christmas song because it has:

(a) The word "Christmas" in the title.
(b) A sleigh bell.
(c) Rutger Hauer.

Here is the original Soundcloud upload: http://soundcloud.com/neonhighwire/fantasy-land-christmas-in-the-terror-zone but that account ain't a paid for one and it's been shared to one group already.

http://soundcloud.com/crabb/arctic-fox

Lyrically, it's all cribbed from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willem_Barents#Third_voyage - figured if they were there all winter then that would have to include Christmas Day, as so it goes :)

gonna do this now

gonna try and write, record, arrange & mix in one session

which probably means it'll be a crystallise instrumental - I'm thinking Ryuchi Sakamoto stowed away in Santa's sleigh as it flies around the world playing Low era Bowie&Eno riffs on Casio keyboards & Glockenspiels

sound interesting? We'll see(hear)

http://soundcloud.com/sexfarmrecords/free-swim-a-rip-roaring

I'm a bit concerned it isn't Christmassy enough

hmm

Nice work. I've scrapped an entire song and I'm starting again. Deadline approaching too. Argh.

reckon it needs something else

might throw a shinto poem on top and autotune it

Hopefully I will find some time to do it though.

https://soundcloud.com/body-in-the-thames/the-emperor-of-japan-leaves-1

which is better? The instrumental or the Shinto prayer version?

no one cares

I think everyone who's contributed does. And I'm gonna force everyone else to care to. ONE DAY.

But dude, choose one track. You can't have more than one entry.

I like it!

I can't choose

I can't decide whether the Shinto prayer version gives it something or whether its shit

More Christmasy.

cos it's that one that I removed from the group

outrageously christmassy. like mainlining port.

It's amazing

to work on this!

I can't work out how I played the tune I originally recorded. So I think as time is running out, I'm gonna whack a loadof stuff together and it can be a post-rock-ambient-showgaze christmas song. No talent required. ZING!

So much fun to make! :D

is there a deadline? Will try and do it with my free time this weekend.

Going to have to be low low low fi.

Loving the other entries though, I look forward to unwrapping my gifts of socks and aftershave to them.

mine's now up there as "Rosaline's Party" by PalkoPalko. I was aiming for a mix of Siouxsie's "Something Blue", a bit of Richard Hawley, and "The Gift" by The Velvets, but it just sounds like the bleeding Antlers. All done on my iPhone. Pretty chuffed with it, must say!

stickboys is so good, so slick, i could see it in a richard curtis movie

Kind regards
Slickboy

Wrote it on the premise that the notes in christmas songs are usually really close together. And snow is awesome.

top stuff... I'm slightly regretting going all Tim Burtony but heyho

ah, that's probably why i fancy watching Batman tonight!

sounds like a George Clooney era Batfilm

A tale of love lost and found in the North Pole. We decided to do this for a £1 with all proceeds going to a lovely little charity called North London Cares. Read more about them here: http://northlondoncares.org.uk/

Hope y'all dig it!

and a worthy cause but do stick it in the soundcloud group if you can be bothered.

Cheers.

Ta!

will be on it's way up by the end of the week with any luck.

I don't think I'll get mine done. Time time time.

I did one. It's called 'I Wish It Could Be Winter Everyday'. It's mostly about winter, but also a bit about Xmas and OTHER STUFF THANKS

I entered my sister's xmas track 'Merry Christmas from Scotland (Lulled With a Stiff Drink)', hope that's allowed. I did do the photo for the artwork at least, so partly mine! Cheers.

It's still an original song about Christmas so coolio.

Sorry, I know it's now January but only getting round to closing all this off.

Stickyness was much appreciated.
