[ᛗᛜᛜᚺDᛜᎶ Ꮤᛨᚳᚴ]

Cups and cakes
Cups and cakes
Please make sure that nothing breaks​

Go on then, get your tea and crumpets and make some noise ;~))

Week 3 slowed down a bit, but I am sure you all have more gas in the tank (if not, perhaps some cups and cakes would help)! Six submits for WEEK 3 bringing us to 37 for season 11 (at least it rhymes)!!! Major KUDOS to all who were willing to "Gimme Some Money" in Week 3 of Season 11! Mr. nightlight kickin' axe and makin' flames, still the leader with 12 submits now for S11 ;~)) Check out the specs on Season 11 and more at this link!

​

For the uninitiated, please go to the "Do Something Challenge" outline to read up on what this is all about and what the general rules are. If you don't, and you f up, the label may drop you or not release your album (unless you change the artwork)!

Week 4 is the "Cups And Cakes" Edition of Season 11 DSC, which means that I'm looking for all the good things mummy bakes, and then some. If your mummy ain't available, then it is time for you to step up and bring the Milk and sugar, Bread and Jam, Yes please, sir, And thank you ma'am, Here I am!!!

What's that, you have no idea what is going on here and you didn't read the page linked above? OK, here you go you lazy turd:

1. Make and record some music NOW (not stuff you did last month, not stuff you did in high school, NOW stuff).
2. Upload it to soundcloud, Youtube or wherever you like.
3. Put a link in the current weeks thread (this thread is Season 11 Week 1) with a tag to identify what type of music it is. Tag options are #Orig (for an original song), #Cover (for a cover song), #Jam (for a riff or lick or jam that is not a song) and #Collab (for a collaboration piece between you and another participating forum member). Don't put in a tag, be prepared to have your entry NOT counted! It ain't rocket science and it takes seconds at best.
4. Sit back and wait for the adulations to pour in (and be sure to hand out your own adulations as well to the other participants - don't be a dick).
5. When the season is over, you will get a banner under your avatar showing that you are a TGF Recording Artist and if you really step up and produce, you may get the illustrious "TGF Champion" banner!

This whole endeavor is intended to encourage members to USE THEIR GEAR AND SHARE WHAT THEY CREATE! To browse previous seasons posts, you can go to the DSC Archive ;~)) Season 11 will be 6 weeks long and it will close Mar 07, 2026 at 11:59 pm HT. Week 2 for Season 11 will end on Saturday February 07, 2026 at 11:59 pm HT. For more details on 2026 DSC scheduling, see this post!

I am psyched with all the participants and submits for this "take it to 11" Season! I just got a new guitar and lovin' it to the max so likely to be pushing a bunch of shitty noodles up here in the coming weeks ;~)) Keep 'em comin' folk, great stuff so far this season and lookin' for a lot more of the same!!!

Oh how my tummy aches for cups and cakes and cups and cakes!!!

The working title for this song is a play on the book, "Waiting for Godot", which I always thought was quite amusing as Godot never comes.



This was recorded with a Mayones Regius Core into Neural DSP's Nolly plugin. The bass was an Ibanez SR5000 running into Neural's Parallax plugin. I plugged directly into an Apogee Duet 3 interface for this tune. Hope you find it interesting.

Did this one late last night. All improv, one take stuff. It gets a bit looser near the end lol, but I like it considering it was a quickie.

Tools were my white tele only into Fractal ICONS plugin. Left was a '59 J Vaughn preset, right was a Band-Commander. Center was the 'Hat Tip To Robin HT' preset, which is a '59 Bassguy Jumped with a Klon and Vibe.
Bass is my Fender Mustang into the Fender Rumble plugin in Studio Pro, I used the Super Bassman with 8x10 cab.
Drums are SD3.
