This weeks DSC is in honor of John "Stumpy" Pepys. As most of you know, this Spinal Tap drummer died in a bizarre gardening accident about which the authorities said "Best leave it unsolved"!
Week 4 picked up some, increasing what we had in Week 3 by 50% with a total of 9 submits! Great job Peeps ;~)) Mr. nightlight still kickin' axe and shakin' memes, still the leader with 13 submits now for S11 ;~)) And a big warm welcome to Dez who is joining the DSC for the first time best I can tell ;~)) Great to have you on board as a contributor to our merry band of misfits! 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 5 is the "Best Unsolved" Edition of Season 11 DSC, which means that you need to get past all those little annoyances and post you latest work NOW. If you fail to do so, you could end up with the same fate of John "Stumpy" Pepys!!! And let's be honest, dying in a bizarre gardening accident is not on any of our bingo cards or bucket lists.
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 very happy with all the participants and submits for this "take it to 11" Season! I hope to see you all stepping it up this week! Remember, this is a 6 week season, so only one more week after this one (then about 6 weeks off, it's a '26 thing).
Great look, good drummer!!!
