There is a reason we have a special word for 12! Nothing like a dozen ;~)) The base-12 system used by the ancient civilizations stemmed from the 12 lunar cycles each year (so sayeth the Moondog). So here we are, The Gear Forum "Do Something Challenge" Season 12 ;~)) And don't even start with the baker's dozen shiite! We all know that is next Season where we will bake up "one more", similar to Season 11's credo.
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)!
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 12 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 F'IN GEAR AND SHARE WHAT THEY CREATE! To browse previous seasons, you can go to the DSC Archive ;~)) Season 12 will be half a dozen weeks long and starts NOW! It will close June 06, 2026 at 11:59 pm HT. Week 1 for Season 12 will end on Saturday May 2, 2026 at 11:59 pm HT. Each week is from Sunday through Saturday. For more details on 2026 DSC scheduling, see this post!
So all that said, get to bakin' some grooves, and while you are at it, make it a dozen! Looking forward to all of the baked goodies from our old and new artists. Be sure to spread the word and recruit those who have not be christened in the waters of the DSC ;~))
