Thanks for the encouraging words, Alex! There are plenty of options out there for making 8-bit sound; the one I used is a free application called FamiTracker, from famitracker.shoodot.net. More popular is the cartridge LSDJ for the original Gameboy, but that costs money and I love my freeware! Excepting the one copy of Fell Plot I sent to RPM, I don't have any of my music in print so I can't really make any trades, but I'll stick around and listen to some of your songs. :)

In fact.. now they ALL have lyrics in the 'about' tab!!! All of 'MAKE DO & MEND' anyway.. comments welcome.. cheers chaps

Now with lyrics in the 'about' tab - good idea Tim, cheers!

nice playing!! i have found it usfull to publish your words in the "about" section

sir moody nice mix and as you may know the kind of song that draws you in. love the suttle harmonies. great boingy sounds and free use of passion tim

I am greatful that Alex let me play on this track. His songs are just great! Check all of them out! -Gary

Great track,love it!

love the guitar in this!

Great Track! Very inspiring too. You have such a great sound and feel on this track.

Really enjoying this track! You've got a nice style.

Hey Alex, I can't hear Helen..?

This is bluestastic! Woo-hoo! Love it! Damn, kinda feel like singing blues now...

A righteous slab of blues, if ever I heard one! 8-D

Excellent!!

I think this is my fave from your album. But then I'm a sucker for a good blues tune.

Stunning! The time of song I would been happy if it carried on for 10 minutes or so.

Hey well done on completing the rpm challenge! Love the sound of this, fantastic track.

Yeah, I'm completely having a copy of your RPM CD, right?

Mighty nice. love the slide guitar.

Yeah man, I'm down in the deep south, knowing me, away with the fairies!

perfect accompaniment to my relaxing sunday morning bathtime.. cheers!

very dreamy.. conjures a nice image

What a great idea this is.. the melody and the delivery of it contrast perfectly to create something unique. chipper

charming.. very..

nothing valuable to offer critique wise i'm afraid, other than to say that as usual this was thoroughly enjoyed.

reminds me of something.. think it might be corpses in their mouths by ian brown.. but only in a mild way.. great feel.. very delicate

great playing chappy.. lovely stuff

This is brilliant. I need to give this album a proper listen once I've wrapped up the challenge (nearly there!) - in fact I need to listen to loads of the finished articles.. anyone know if there will be a big page of them like last year... Su?!

love hearing harmonica in something this dark and heavy.. brilliant. great sound on the riff too. nice one chappy!

this is class! reminds me of some of the kinks stuff.. perfick

this is brilliant. great sound to it (especially the vocals). and the lyrics are class

wouldnt have thought that would work.. mario on his keyboard and luigi playin mad ass drums.. it does though, infectious, and its going to be playin in my head when i try and sleep tonight.. thanks for that ;)

wow.. that was incredible.

here's the first Gary!! Thanks again so much for all the help...

i like rhythm track A, I like rhythm track B, but which is better? There's only one way to find out.. fight!!

really enjoyed this. quite a journey.. glad i had my headphones on for it or else i might have missed bits. Bass is so fat too, great sound..

oh my god.. amazing guitars!

love the harmonica on this one..

im living this song at the momment! great track.. reminds me of what i like about shel silverstein/dr. hook. Also shades of Nilsson when he was feeling jovial.. I love that stuff! Loving the crazy middle section too.. Thanks for the comments by the way.. much appreciated!

absolutely no hesitation is saying it all works. lyrics, mix, the lot. cracking stuff this. really really like this.
